That would be me! :) Having had the chance to use both combinations of clean/dirty I keep going back to the VT Bass for the clean tone and the RPM for dirty. For the tone I'm going for, I find it easier to get a natural throaty clean from the VT Bass and fine tune the "grind" frequency with...

Thanks man! I'm sure once you get to try yours out at a show you'll fall crazy in love with it! I originally was using the RPM as the clean side of things when I first tried the rig out, but I found that it was easier to get the grind portion of things to sit where I wanted with the...

Link Removed Obviously mine is the one on the left :) The rack consists of a Tech 21 VT Bass and RPM running in parallel (VT: Clean, RPM: Grindy) Then running the combined Sansamp tones into the power section of a Hartke LH1000. Sounds killer through a 4x10, so I can't wait until I can...

To simulate that tone live, I run a Sansamp RPM parallel with my Sansamp BDDI into the power section of a Hartke LH1000 where the RPM is mostly clean and the BDDI is pretty sludgy. As for the harmonic thing you're referring to, at least in my case, I'm able to get a decent result by using the...

In the context of a home recording studio (which I'm assuming is what you're working with) the easiest way to get this kind of tone is with a DI box with two outputs. The "go-to" box for this kind of sound is either a Sansamp Bass Driver DI or Para-Driver, but anything you have on hand should do...

My day job (Graphic Designer) is flexible enough that I can work from home, take time off when needed, and even work from the road. I do double duty in my band as their in house designer/marketing guy, and each other member has some other double duty as well. We try to function like a well...

Thanks man! Glad you dig it :D

A buddy of mine shot this video from the balcony of the venue we played. Definitely a fun night!

My current gig rig is my 8x10 being powered by a Sansamp BDDI into the effects return of my LH1000. Link Removed As for what I'd change, I need a replacement rack and I'd like to throw an RPM in there to run the two Sansamps in parallel.

Semi-Necro here... Just thought I'd pass this along to any interested people, you can pick up the song in this thread and the rest of the album on iTunes! https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/hopeless-lives-lullabies-ep/id568051907

Awesome, glad you guys are digging it! If you like it, don't forget to tell a friend :)

Thanks for the views everyone, any feedback would be greatly appreciated! (Also shameless self-bump)

Very excited to post this, my band recently wrapped up our time in a great studio working on a 5 song EP, which should be available on iTunes and a bunch of other digital retailers in the coming weeks. In the mean time, check out our first single, "Lush." I'm particularly proud of this one...

Thanks for taking the time to listen and weigh in. It is greatly appreciated :) I've been attempting to break my normal mold in terms of how I write songs, making them play out more like a passage. I'm glad at least one person weighed in, since I'm actually in the process of recording another...

One last shameless self bump before the thread reaches the underbelly of the recordings forum.
