It's gated fuzz. Probably something Devi.

Side note: Trent looks like Nick Cave there.

hmm, you think a Colorsound Tonebender would do?

by gated fuzz, you mean he's using something like an ISP Decimator + fuzz pedal into a clean bass amp?

No, a tonebender would not suffice.
No, not a noise gate. Search gated fuzz. That's the chokey, sputtery sound you hear.

Wooly Mammoth is a popular one. There are a few Devi Ever fuzzes that are gated, such as the Legend of Fuzz/Bit, the OK, the Bass Fuzz/Supermassive Black Hole. The Copilot Orbit is a gated fuzz + some other synthy extras. Chunk Systems Brown Dog. I'm sure there are a lot more, that's just off the top of my head.

That fuzz sounds amazing! I'd love to know if anyone actually knows what he's using specifically.

Who is the guy singing by the way? The song is good, but weird remix man.

IMO the Devi pedals lack decent control - they basically do one trick apiece, and then you're expected to buy another for a slightly different tone.

The Brown Dog by Chunk Systems is still the best gated fuzz for bass I've heard. Too bad it's awkwardly shaped and has an unacceptably bleedy bypass (making it a great candidate for re-housing).

The Zoom Ultra Fuzz is another gated fuzz that may be worth digging for. out of production but usually quite affordable when it turns up. I havent used one but gyrgx made some very impressive samples...

There is a line 6 delay (the large green thing to the left)

even if he IS using a noise gate, that's not what's responsible for the fuzz sound. a gated fuzz has a gate within its circuit - you can't approximate it with a noise gate before or after.

he also has a couple synthesizers in front of him that he could be routing his signal through - so let your imagination run wild!

Ask Justin Meldel-Johnsen. He has a forum on TB.
