PYT Synth-Sound?

I Googled Deep Impact and found a few DVDs. Is there a manufacturer's name on that one for me to look at?

The AKAI Deep Impact is an out of production unit that now goes for pretty high prices, in part because of it's high profile with the bass player from Muse.

Not a whole lot cheaper than a Deep Impact, but the Markbass Super Synth can cop a tone in the same ballpark as PYT.
 
Ok, you've actually got a few options. The Akai Deep Impact or Markbass Super Synth would probably get you the closest but the Boss GT-10B could probably get fairly close as well. I can just about get that same sound with my MXR Bass Octave Deluxe and Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk Mk. II and Brown Dog as well. Now that I think of it, I'm almost positive that either the Eventide Pitch Factor or Mod Factor could swing it as well I just can't remember which.
 
The boss multis have a synth that's pretty close. Our local mj cover band uses one and it is good enough for a live gig.

I've also used an envelope filter to get close enough for a bar gig.

Is that Boss unit a bass-only or generic pedal?

Hmmm. I like MXR stuff - so I'll look at this too.

Kwesi - looks like

know there's a
big hole in it? :eek:

Anyway, I'll try to test those units too - if I can find them anywhere around here. I might have to go to the GC Mother Ship to find them though. Thanks.
