    Using the MXR M82 Envelope Filter for a synth sound

    I use a ZVEX Mastotron, and an OC-2/MXR bass octave (non-deluxe), along with my DOD FX82, to get a synth/moog sound. I thought that using the M82 after my Mastotron could get maybe an "Eternally Missed" tone, utilizing the clean/wet level controls. I've done research and I can't really find...

    New in progress VFE Mutron clone

    I've done my research and it seems like mutron-style envelope filters seem to be well loved on TB. I've been following this brand called VFE for a while (if I could afford it now I'd get their Alpha Dog in a heartbeat), and I noticed this: http://www.vfepedals.com/projects.html This is a...

    VFE Projects: Mutron and Brassmaster Clones!

    To see where I'm getting some of this info, click here and look at the "Project List" and "Brainstorming" tabs. Peter of VFE is currently in the progress of finishing the "Mini-MU", which looks like it will be a very versatile filter. It's not official, but Peter's brainstorming an idea of a...

    A good boost to overdrive my Walkabout: Naga Viper, Phat Phuk, Fatboost, Rocket EQ?

    NOTE: I use a Lakland 44-02 and a Walkabout Scout. When I play the amp at a gigging volume, it compresses because of the 12" 8 ohm speaker. Because of this, I figured that at gigs I could simply use a boost to overload it in order to get some sweet tube overdrive. It wouldn't have a huge volume...

    Excellent VFE pedals bass demo

    VFE Pedals Bass Demo Found this while doing youtube searches, he essential does samples of the Alpha Dog, Pale Horse, Blueprint, Bumblebee, and White Stallion(now called White Horse). The Blueprint can do some great oscillations IMO.

    VFE Alpha Dog vs. Fuzzrocious Rat Tail

    I want a grindy distortion/fuzz to replace my ebs multidrive and boss sd-1. I've settled on a rat clone, but which one? Fuzzrocious has a huge following here, I'm well aware of that, they're an awesome brand. But I'm really intrigued by the ridiculously versatility of the [Invalid or Expired...

    Boss OC-2 vs. MXR M-88 (not dlx)

    How does the M88 compare to the OC-2? I have the OC-2 but there's too little volume in the octave down setting and some distortion if I barely even play mezzo-forte. I found this video: MXR BASS OCTAVE, and it seems great! Any experience? I just want a simple, cheap octaver, another option...

    New Markbass effects, Distorsore, Booster, etc...

    Some cool looking new stuff from Markbass. I especially like the graphic eq and sliding controls of the new distorsore, plus it's small! All pedals are powered with a 9v/12v DC adaptor or a 9v battery. Invalid Link Removed - Has a 7-band EQ along with gain and volume. Looks awesome. Invalid...

    Maxon BP-01 bass comp?

    Invalid Link Removed Anyone ever use it? Not too expensive, but can't really find anything on it. I know that the CP-9 Pro+ is good, but that's much more expensive and much newer.

    Seymour Duncan Effects

    Well, everyone knows about this brand. I'd say the most famous pickup brand, IMO. But why don't many people mention their effects. All of the forums here on them, which are admittedly plentiful, are rather short and abrupt. But it seems like they make really great effects, for example, I'll...

    Fulltone Fat Boost FB-3

    I'd like to get some sort of overdrive pedal that'd complement my Walkabout nicely, maybe even push it into overdrive. In an overdrive I'd really like a nice warm, tube-like tone, and I'm getting a good feel from the Fat Boost. Could anyone give their direct opinions of it, comparing it to...

    VFE Triumvirate 3-Band Distortion sounds amazing. Opinions?

    So I was looking at VFE pedals, thanks to Bongo's review of the White Horse, when I found this wonderfully cool pink pedal called the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I read the description and was instantly intrigued with the way it works. It splits the bass signal into 3 distortion channels...

    Help! I want to start building pedals.

    In order to do that, where do I start? I had trouble searching for a similar thread so I'm just posting my own. I've looked and one of the best agreed upon starting projects is the DOD 250 overdrive circuit, and I kind of like the tone of it on bass. I'm sure that is would sound good through...

    Anyone try out the SolidGold FX Funk Box?

    So I was doing research on envelope filters and I found this nice looking pedal with a footswitch that let's you change the direction of the sweep, which got me interested. At about the 3:30 mark the guy doing the video mentions that the lower sweep settings let more bass through making it...

    Swollen Pickle or Mastotron

    So I won two Ebay auctions, (a WH Swollen Pickle and a Zvex Mastotron) but I'm probably not going to be able to keep both. I've been looking for a synthy, bass-friendly fuzz that would sound nice, yet still keep the bottom end somewhere in the realm of tight. I currently have a Lakland 44-02...

    Tube amp overdrive: Can it be replicated with pedals?

    Okay, so here's the deal. My Walkabout Scout 12" was clearly forged by gods. When I play it loudly, I have natural tube compression. But when I turn the gain up, warm, rich, fat, thick, fuzzy tube overdrive comes out of my amp. And it is fantastic. Here's a sample, in it my chain goes: Lakland...

    What effect should I get next?

    Scroll down all the way for a basic synopsis. I'm in the market for a new effect at the moment, but I currently am not sure what I want to get first. At the moment, all I have is an EBS MultiDrive and a BOSS OC-2. Neither are in pristine condition, nor did I buy either of them new, but they...

    Bass Making!!

    What is your opinion on custom bass making? Because it sounds like fun, I want to custom make my and my all parts for a new bass. I've decided a body would be a good idea. :hmm: Have any sites in mind? What woods would be nice? Mahogany, Alder, Swamp Ash, Walnut, Carbon fiber? I'll...

    Bass Big Muff Pi vs. (Normal) Big Muff Pi

    Is there any difference? I'm trying to be economical by using one pedal for both bass and guitar, but since I don't want the bottom end to drop out and not have to much bottom end on guitar, I need a pedal that works well for both. Is the normal mode on the Bass Big Muff relatively the same...

    Action is a bit low

    The action on my bass (a Lakland 44-02) is making it so the strings touch nearly the entire fretboard. This is the first time I've strung my bass by myself and I'm not sure what I'm doing worng :hmm: :help:
