The Big TB Sound Sample Thread

Using this site to host them Link Removed so you might be best to save them to your computer as I don't know how many downloads they will allow.

Now as you guys know I recommend lots of pedals so I thought I'd back this us with sound clips of most of them used separately and in combination.

All clips recorded using M-Audio Mobilepre and Garageband, ignore the hiss it's something to do with a ground loop i have when recording I'll sort it some time in the future but I feel this is a good reference for these pedals obviously your sound will be different from mine but at least you can see what the pedals are capable of and what you could possibly do with them.

Following clips recorded on a Modded MIM Fender Jazz with 60's RI pup's bass tuned DGCF with Heavy Rotosound Roundwounds.

This pedal is made between 1983 and 1985 has a 2 stage footswitch that allows you to set 2 gain setting you should be able hear me switching between them, I also play with the tone knob on my bass and you can see how much it effects the sound.

Now I rave abot this pedal so it's time to back it up here you go.
First couple of different settings then Fuzz into Dod FX25 , then Fuzz in to MXR Bass Auto Q and then I add my Dod fx35 Octoplus and try it with flanger and chorus and various combinations you should be able to tell which effect is being used when

Again another pedal I rave about, I add in various other pedals, these are my 18v Danelectro Cool Cat and the Dod fx25 I also run it with the zoom ultra fuzz so it gets really crazy.

I love this pedal I'm yet to find a better chorus for me (not tried the new MXR one yet though), I add in the octaver I think in this clips.

MXR Bass Auto Q

This is my fav filter, I use it with the other effects in this clip like flanger, chorus and octaver but you'll hear when those are clicked in and out.

Finally this is my tone that I use in my band, I'm using My band board and my Valenti Custom Jazz.

When the tone changes that is me using my Zoom Power Drive Pedal which I'm currently using as a boost the tone sounds iffy on its own but cuts through a band like butter when needed. The whole tone sounds a bit more open through my amp but its pretty close (I use the tube in my amp as well to add to the tone).

This is my band board

and here is my current solo bass board pictured above my band board

Right other misc sounds clips I've gathered.

Same setup as before but I think I was using my Ibanez Blazer (P Bass) with rounds (dead Rounds), These are pretty much just single pedals no real combinations.
