Distortion Solutions?

there's a few for you to munch on. bassfuzz.com is also great so check it out.

 

Chunk Systems Octavius Squeezer - Octofuzz preset

Probably won't track to low A# but with the octave-down already in there, who cares?

I'd recommend trying a Moollon Bassdrive, esp. when the tone is cranked up - very synthy:

Sansamp GT2. I recorded these using running mine straight into my soundcard, but it works great running into a power amp or a preamp too.

The only thing I've found, that it doesn't really play nicely with are other Sansamps.

Bass Big Muff would be a good starting point.

 

Key type overtone? Brassmaster clones: B:assmaster or a Depth Charge.

 

Maybe a Zoom UltraFuzz, if you can find one. I had one for a while, but it wasn't my thing. It would have been awesome if I were in an industrial or electronic band.

 

if you're going that route....a malekko b:assmaster might be a good choice as well.

 

I could be wrong on this, but my understanding was that the Depth Charge was similar sounding, but noticeably more gritty sounding.

 

if gritty = angry can of wasps.

 

Maybe I meant buzzy. I probably meant buzzy.

 

Yes, and the Depth Charge does this VERY well.
