Sign in to disble this ad
HI EVERYONE!!! I've been listening to all kinds of 70's stuff lately ..........I have been noticing a sort of common effect for the day...........It you are familiar with some old Pat Travers (a good example) With Mars Cowling on bass..........he liked to use a modulating effect but I can;t decifer if it's flange, phase or something of the like I'm not familiar with....can anyone help me out???????? Maybe with a type and model ....... others used this as well (bassist for Tommy Bolin Band) and others I;m drawing a blank with right now |

Thinking on it, the only tunes that came outta the '70s with noteworthy fx were...
Stranglehold (nugent) - Phase shifter
Love of money (the oJays) Flanger (I think!)
One of these days (Pink Floyd) Echo.
And Jaco used some primitive chorus / distortion...
The '70s was all about *guitar*. A fine reason to avoid the '70s, if you ask me.

IME modulation effects on guitars and keys can sometimes make the bass sound like it's effected as well and I think this is happening somewhat on Is This Love. |

| Wasn't OoTD done with delay, not Echo? I've seen the settings for replicating it, but maybe somebody just figured out settings that would replicate an Echo box...
ETA: I saw there's some controversy as to whether echo and delay are different effects, so, I'm not trying to open a can of worms on this, just was under the impression that a delay was used.

Echo and delay are the same effect. Not sure what argument would say they are different. |

The first one I couldn't really hear any effects, and had to stop listening because the cover version made me be sick in my mouth. |
