I wouldn't say I use a "clean" tone for Cold Mourning, because I'm driving a lower wattage tube amp, but I don't use any dirt pedals. I try to work in fuzz here and there but it never really sits quite right, because the guitars are using such thick distortion. I do use fuzz on almost every song with another band I play with that's kind of a weird rootsy/bluesy/country infused punk rock type band (someone else probably knows exactly what genre it is, I have no clue). So whatever works with the particular band/song. The last heavy band I was in I had an OD pedal always on, but the guitar player used a less distorted tone. We spent a few practices just balancing out gain and tone to get the sound we wanted from the band as a whole. I think every band could benefit from that approach, usually it's just a free for all of everyone trying to use their favorite solo tone, which rarely works.

Stoner/Doom Bassist Thread Part 8 - Insert witty title...

Ah you're play what I affectionately call "The Rape Room". It's about a third of the size of Pyramid Scheme. Not the greatest sounding room. I saw Beast in the Field & Mountain Goat there this winter. Used to be a more punk/metal crowd... What's the name of your band and who are you playing with? I'll make sure my girl Sara gives you the royal treatment!
I feel like junk today. I had one too many beers and don't drink anymore so It hit me hard last night lol. I don't know how I used to drink as much as I did in the army. Alcohol is the devil! I don't trust anything I can't just pick outta the ground unaltered 
So I picked up that fender 100t that was "used" on Ebay.....it showed up today....and HOLY ****!! a Hundred Watter that sounds supreme and really seems like itll be more than loud enough. AND its 45lbs...oh yeah!
I've been feeling the same way lately. I look back on my time in university and I'm astounded at how much I used to drink.

Looking at a cheap date here. Got wasted on $20 last sat and was trashed. I lost my tolerance from the last time I went on a super diet and quit drinking.
When I was like 20 I developed some weird allergy to beer. It's not a gluten thing I think it is barley. That means for the last 6 years my body has basically been training for a whiskey drinking competition. I can drink 100 proof knob creek out of the bottle like it is water and it is kind of scary.

Empty bottle is a cool place. I seen floor there a couple years ago. Good show. Where you guys based from?
I recently rediscovered the joys of drinking rye. I had switched to drinking primarily beer for the last few years out of laziness, but rye has always been a FAR "cleaner" drunk for me.
I'm back on the rye these days, and it's way better.
Just bought a Catilnbread SFT to use with my mesa M6. Now I need a DC power brick to run it at 18v and all my other pedals
I'm a huge rye fan. Bulleit Rye is my favorite cheap accessible rye, but when I'm willing to shell out some money High West is where it's at.
I like it too. Ive played there in a different band that I used to be in.
We are based out of Chicago and Milwaukee. mainly Chicago since that is where 3/4 of the band resides.
