The Valnott:
Be sure to keep watching all the way to the demo on bass.

What kind of sound are you looking to get?

Dave Ellefson doesn't really use anything. It's just his bass and his hands.

 

[Bobdudeman]

Well what would be a good doom/stoner type of pedal.

I like sabbath for sure, any suggestions?

Yes I am a novice, but a craving to learn and the time to do so. your comments will be helpful. I dont have alot od duckett to be throwing around at different pedals.

When I think doom/stoner in pedal form, I usually this either Mountainking Megalith if ultra high gain is what you want or Wren & Cuff Tall Font Russian for lower gain. Judging from your mention of Sabbath, I would go with the Tall Font Russian

I don't believe the Geezer uses anything either. These days it's a P bass into cranked amps.

I use an electro harmonix big bass muff for his distortion sounds (he got it from using a cranked guitar amp and busted speakers) and a p with flats. I also use some delay for the slower tunes, black sabbath, planet caravan... But he didn't use any.

I would post your question here http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=960547

That is where a lot of the doom experts dwell.

A muff of some sort. That is all.

If you want a clean sound, compression is awesome.

 

[stepswork4me]

Compression and a nice gritty overdrive... my 2 cents

 

[Bobdudeman]

Ok, Big muff pi or bass big muff

 

[Bobdudeman]

Well, just remembered my Danelectro daddy-o oedal. Yes they are cheap, but good fuzzy overdrive.

Tech 21 Oxford is good for heavy tones and then some.

 

[Bobdudeman]

Good Score today. EH Germanium big buff and a big muff pi for $100 for both and they are like new. Ran them together through my Bag end d12d and peavey mark iii head and I think I'm frigging deaf!

i'd say one thing that has recently become a key factor to all genres for me is compression. particullary for metal, it really cleans up notes nicely. I also have a Darkglass B7K distortion/preamp it is awesome for metal! I also like using a bit of chorus in some more quiet ambient passages of metal music.

Right on, O just dusted off my marshall compressor. Hope that will work, Thanks
