Combining effects on bass?

[Lionslicer9999]

So I was messing around with a delay pedal and a chorus pedal and got this really intense sound. Like when I hit my low E (tuned to C) it sounds like something for a horror/suspense movie and/or game.

Maybe this is in the wrong place, but I'd like to see what others have stumbled upon from experimenting.

This would probably do better in the Effects forum.

Moved.

I'm going to introduce you to the noise compilations. Most of this is done with bass.

Here is something fun I made:

I don't have any clips of it yet, but I stumbled on a cool sound when I cranked my all the dials on my RV-5. Then using a guitar slide or cig lighter tapping the G string over the pickups or really close to the bridge. Also, sliding down starting from the bridge. Really interesting. To beat all, I actually found a way to use it live. Unusable as a tone for normal lines, but very cool if you can find a use for it.

combine 'em all. just get 'em in there. use all the explosives. BOOM.

My favorite: Pog2 (Dry signal dimed, octave up half way and octave down just a smidge) into Fuzz into phaser. Awesome.

Question: what is that big bag of white powdery looking stuff in the bottom right corner of the shot?

Set up a half dozen effects, maybe a dozen, fifteen, twenty, something like that, then tweak them so they totally cancel each other out. Perfect - there you go, you're welcome!

Thats actually a bad of paper plates

I'm really not big on having a bunch of effects on at once, I know it usually isn't really logical for music other than messing around when you're bored, but I really thought it was unique to get sounds you'd hear in a movie on a bass lol.

Sorry about putting it in the wrong part of the forum, I didn't see any videos of peoples recordings there so I thought recordings made more sense.

Here's a couple of mine. If you stick around this forum and just pay a little attention, you will run into effects clips in peoples sigs and in threads.

Enjoy. Or run away screaming. Either way.

For a crazy-heavy sound I sometimes run my bass through an octive pedal followed by a chorus and then into my tube overdrive pedal. Not a hugely useable tone as it gets a bit blurry when played with other intruments but on its own it sounds like the war cry of a deranged killer robot.

One tone that I use goes envelope filter > comp > phaser. The result has lots of depth and fills space well on more subtle settings, and can be tweaked to be as funky or "outer space" as you like.

i disagree. you should do whatever works for you. if it means turning on every effect you own or just one at a time, it's all good as long as you're serving the music and not yourself.
