[Smallequestrian]

HH3 incoming!

 

[willbassyeah]

Just quick question, dirt before or after the saBEFpro, i am moving some pedal to make space for the hh3, any idea of the size hehe??

 

[itswac]

I always do before

 

[willbassyeah]

any idea on how big the hot hand 3 is? thinking of getting the dimension reverb too... addicted to your pedals hehe

 

[itswac]

This picture shows the scale really well!

 

[behndy]

it's. so. TINY.

i haven't checked out y'all's demo with the Xero, but i couldn't get it to catch any of the faster movements that are predominantly what i use the BEF for.

 

[itswac]

We haven't posted the video yet...we got it working pretty snappily. I found that there was a difference between the 2 pole and 4 pole settings. 4 Pole seemed to work better.

 

[behndy]

innnnnterrressting. yeah, i'd love to see what you guys do with it. i only put in a bit of time, been kinda swamped lately. did you use the downsweep or up? i usually run it in 4 pole.

i mostly use the BEF as a Wub Wub machine with fuzz going into it. and an octaver or ring mod or both after. good times.

 

[itswac]

We used the Upsweep...didn't really explore the downsweep much.

 

[behndy]

cool. yeah, i need to put in more time with it.

since i have two rings now, we've been playing with me using one for a section of an intro, then my drummer uses one on his right hand stick. it's.... pretty ****ing awesome. goes to a way steady wub that lets me play a tad more intricate and add cleaner breaks.

FUN.

 

[itswac]

Nice...keeps you in sync with the hi-hat, huh?

 

[behndy]

yahpers. lol. he does try add in some quck stuff, but mine's setup to kinda follow the slapping thumb direction arc. so he ends up waving his hand around like a penguin trying not to slip on ice.

it's ADORABLE.

 

[Erad]

Erad,

Let me know if you need any help on replicating any specific tones you hear in my videos...Some of the sounds need specific backpage adjustments that would have taken up the whole screen if we included all of them!

.

One thing I'm having trouble with is getting the settings for the HH just right. Feels like I can't get really defined wobbles.



I'm looking for some really defined wobbles like that. is that only attainable with an overdrive or a synth? or can it be done with just the BEF pro?

Also, my bef didn't come with instructions, so I have no clue what all the EQ settings are or do... :/

 

[Skrogh]

Manual/instructions are on their webpage: http://www.sourceaudio.net/products/soundblox_pro/bass_envelope.php

To get that "mechanical"/steady wobble you hear in the beginning of the clip you posted, you'd need to use the LFO and not the HH (check into the instruction manual for a gide to that).

I don't have the BEFPRO, but on the MWBD it is very important to select the right axis, sensitivity and range/gain for the HH to get good wobbles. I also have the ring on my thumb, that helps me a lot.

If you want the "wet" filter sound, then yes some distortion or fuzz in front of the filter helps a lot. The filter removes certain frequencies, but since the natural bass tone is not rich on harmonics, there isn't a lot to remove, unless you stick some distortion in.

Yeah I don't have a problem with LFO.. just the wobbles.

I tried playing with sweep range, and the axis and I still can't seem to get the right combination of it.

Thanks a bunch for the instructions though.

 

[Skrogh]

Is it the sound, or the movement you can't get right?

If you don't have a distortion pedal, try setting the EQ to "post" an turn up the mids and highs - this should give the filter some more frequencies to remove (or leave, when it's open) (Or of you play an active with an EQ, boost the highs there)

 

[sleepy_monkey]

It would be a great idea if SA had a template of each pedal and we could post our favorite settings. They could put it on their site and you just drag the knobs to the spot, etc....

 

[BIG97BEN]

I think that has been a continueing cry here. I found a few threads with some information but it would be nice to get it all in one easy to use format.

Someone here on TB drew up a template for both MWBDP and BEFPRO. Try a search for it, I know there is a thread somewhere.
