Any Sleep fans around here?

I've seen videos where he's using an original mutron 3 and an original Dod 250, also using a TU-2 but who cares about that.

His main sound is the amps and the bass, but boosting a Matamp with a Dod 250 will get very fuzzy, and the Mutron is just the best filter around.

Hope this helps
 
Sleep is awesome. As for his setup, it sounds to me most of the time like he's just driving the Matamps all the way with occasional wah. I'm sure he's got some effects though, almost everyone does it seems.

I wish Sleep would have played a reunion show in the Bay Area... you know, where they're from, instead of just the one in the UK.

shoot man, Iif youre going to wish big, wish for the band to get back together. Early 90s was a bad time for their ilk of music which is part of the reason why I think they broke up. But now on the other hand...fans would gobble up some Sleep albums

Indeed, I think they'd do very well now. They certainly have a lot more fans now than they did when they were together.
