Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

hmm.

serious question:

besides the sorta gee whiz factor of a pedal like that can you actually hear yourself using it?

it may be because of musical biases on my part, but i thought mostof the sounds he used wouldn't work for me in a musical setting.

opinions?
Ill try to keep this simple.

"Whatever turns your crank" I guess.....

Or knobs.....

Way out there pedals are usually way to expensive for me. The most musical and by far the favorite I own is my Red Panda particle. I'd own 2 if I could.

That being said youncan do ALOT with "normal" pedals and "bending the rules".

For example intentionally clipping an oc2 to glitch. Or stacking dirt pedals to get a huge feedback loop.

Considering next purchase....

All ask the consulate....

Boss reverb or boring broughton hpf....??

The hpf would greatly maximize my svt4 pro imo and the reverb well.....its gonna verb.
I'd go the boring route, because besides the svt4 pro, it would also maximize the cab. For a more subjective reason i think utility stuff should come before the toys
 
@dukeorock

you okay?

thanks for asking! We're good. The worst part was just a few miles south of us...it's really bad. At least 19 deaths so far. Checking on friends. Can't even get into East Nashville to help...here in stand by mode

glad to know you're okay. didn't know where you were. my son and his gf are over near vanderbilt. they're unscathed.

hope there aren't more tornadoes in the future.

tangentially: i live in earthquake land—i'd be much more worried about tornadoes and hurricanes than earthquakes (knock on wood), they freak me out.

being from SoCal, I've been through both...they both are really scary in different ways :)
