    EHX English Muff'n Vs. EHX Hot Tubes...

    old thread but just checked out the EHX hot tubes, the one with the two real tubes, and it is pretty over the top if you want it. you can also get a really good semi-clean blues tone as well. i thought it sounded terrible at first until i really played with knobs, and you really have to play...

    VFE Triumvirate

    i had the same question.. the youtube demo sounds great.. and the main bass mid crossover it right about where one would separate the lows in a biamp set up for one 15 and 4 tens cabinets.. 250hz. the only thing that may fall out of range is the highs depending on your style of playing.. also...

    insane over the top distortion noisefest pedal

    another one i was curious about, anyone drive one yet [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The Triumvirate is a unique take on an distortion box. First, the guitar signal is separated into three parts -- lows, mids, and highs -- using a simple second-order crossover network. Next, each part...

    insane over the top distortion noisefest pedal

    i am aware that the bass is an octave lower, but as far as electronics and the way it acts on a circuit, a bowed cello is similar to a 5 string bass... which is why one must use a bass amp with an amplified cello as opposed to a guitar amp and that is where it gets tricky as the cello acts like...

    insane over the top distortion noisefest pedal

    i just saw the ebs metaldrive universal pedal.. that could work.. i use mutliple pedals already to get close to what i want, the red ripper and the double drive, which by the way is a great bass distortion/overdrive pedal with no low end loss and will give a really wicked feedback.. i...

    insane over the top distortion noisefest pedal

    insane over the top distortion noisefest pedal :D hi, the search continues for an over the top distortion pedal for a bass range that actually is a distortion pedal and not a fuzz or overdrive pedal trying to sound like a tube amp at high volume and overdriven. it is actually for a cello...

    Double Bass Question about distortion pedals

    hmm, for the most part, you want to start with a good bridge transducer. if you use a cheap body mount one, you will probably get feedback. then get a bass amp, a good one. to get a sound like raputina, start with a good tube amp. melora used to use an swr red. next you can try to overdrive...
