DI Bass and Guitar Clips through the Temporal Rift Ver 2
Love that line.
Kinda sums up life, doesn't it.
They are still opening rifts in reality that allow the maligned denizens of the aether into our universe.
Still needs some tweaking.
the reverb IC has some built in modulation so it adds a little chorus-esque effect to the verb.
I think its actually more like a re-design. The GWell only uses transistors for all the signal chain but the TRift uses all op-amp (outside of the entire meatbox/octavedown idea signal chain)
Anybody use an ODB for thrash/death tones? Trying to coax some from my ODB but with no luck so far. For reference, my favorite tone for those styles so far is my B3K, but I’m trying to have different pedals on my second board, hence the ODB.
The beauty of the ODB is that it’s so natural sounding. For me it’s like the Klon of bass. It can get huge and brutal, just not very harsh. I’d think something like a modded HM2 would get you what you’re looking for.
A lot of old thrash tones were bright and had a lot of bite to them. The ODB is a great low to mid gain tone, which is fine for thrash. However, the OCD circuit is a little dark and mushy in the attack for what you want, I think.
The Volt Thrower is a gritty distortion with a fair amount if articulation. That might be a better candidate.
A Tube Screamer curcuit would also work well, but to the best if my knowledge DA has only made one, and I have it

Thanks guys! I have a Volt Thrower as well. It’s my “fuzz” for that board, and does quite well in that role. A little more trebley, but controllable. I use flats, so I’m not going for tons of bite. Maybe it is the attack that’s a little loose for my tastes on the ODB. I’m trying to get it rounder, if that makes sense. It seems flat to me. I think I have the treble where I want it, but not the bass. Maybe it’s as simple as increasing the bass, though I doubt it.
Thanks again for the info.

Actually its now 1 of 2 but they both have different graphics:

When I saw the layout I was wondering if that's what it was.
Flats for Thrash? That's an interesting choice. Most of the 80s tones were very aggressive and high-mids forward.
If you want something dark with a lot of rumble, the ODB will do that. It has less gain and sizzle than the VT. It does a pretty good imitation of a pushed V4B or SVT-CL.
