    Hope that title got attention. I need help in finding a good synth setting on my Digitech Bass Synth Wah that will sound really good when playing fast, so far I haven't found one. Refer to knobs as o'clock positions, please. Oh and setting number. Thanks! Oh P.S, could you guys suggest ways to use a synth in a metal/grunge/blues band? Thanks much you guys.

    Define "good" and "fast". Maybe the best setting is "bypass". ;)

    LOL. I would like to play something like March of the Pigs (Nine Inch Nails) but that would require some sort of agility, which i got down, but when I kick on the synth it doesn't really attack right.

    First, the BSW works best (IME anyway) when the bass volume is maxed. The pedal is more sensitive that way. What you want to do then is to tweak the 2nd (from the left) knob to speed up the attack of the synth (you will end up with something like 11 to 12 O clock). You might have to play with the sensitivity too (I find my ideal setting to be somewhere between noon to 3:00). Range knob setting will be up to you. These are for X knob settings 3 and 4 BTW.

    Post clips if you can. I wanna hear synthy grunge.
