Ministry Bass Overdrive/Distortion

#41
I had no idea that Malenko was made partly by Paul! AND that he was working on a "solo" album!! Im psyched! Im glad I saw this thread :) subbed. Ive been a fan of ministry for years and lost interest. Probably due to Pauls departure. It wasnt hard to figure out something huge was missing from their sound. I totally agree, it was all Paul, not Al.

Any suggestions on settings to get that sound out of it? I just picked up a used one.

I run both switches to the left and the sensitivity about noon. Then I just match the ass and brass. Usually around 10 or 11 o’clock. That is one raunchy beast. I love the harmonics it can produce. I just wrote a small part in one of our songs where I strike a harmonic with delay and reverb to ring out and drone. It sounds amazing. Can’t quite get it with any other fuzz I have. It’s my main fuzz now.

Thank you! I just picked up a Latent Lemon Audio Bass Brassmaster. Its supposed to be another good clone. I'll try it out on that and get back to you.
