    Stoner/Doom/Sludge tone out of small amp?

    I would hold off on the LS-2 if you're on a budget. I bet you can get a lot out of the BEQ alone. Have you checked out the BDI21? It's a Behringer overdrive $30 pedal with a clean blend. I saw some youtube videos of guys making good metal tones out of it. But I think doom usually relies on more...

    Opinions of Lightweight combos wanted

    I'm pretty set on getting the Hartke KB15. Great tone and lightweight. I decided on the 15" over the 12" because I'm a 5 string player and comments here have told me the 12" won't handle the low B string well at high volume. But for 4 string players the KB12 is exceptional and even lighter. Only...

    Stoner/Doom/Sludge tone out of small amp?

    Small world lol. I've tried a lot of guitar dirt pedals on bass and almost always need to blend my clean signal in to keep the low end; I use the Boss LS-2 for that. If any of their dirt pedals have a clean blend built in that'd probably be best bang for the buck. Use it for both guitar and bass.

    Stoner/Doom/Sludge tone out of small amp?

    Hartke KB15 for doom?

    I'm a metal bass player. I've played a lot of fuzz/distortion/OD pedals trying to get the tone I want out of the cheap amp I had at the time because I couldn't afford big cabs or nice tube amps. As crazy as it sounds, I think your best solution is what became my most important pedal on my board...

    Hartke KB15 Combo

    Super helpful. Thanks Yahboy! As a 5 string player it sounds like I should go with the KB15. I was thinking it wouldn't have the mid-range definition like the 12. But from your comments and others it sounds like at lower volume knob settings (say below 12 o'clock) the KB12 and KB15 are basically...

    Hartke KB15 Combo

    Hey Midas. Since you've had a chance to play both the KB12 and KB15 would you mind giving some feedback on the tonal differences, volume differences, etc?
