Stoner/Doom Bassists 84: Name That Amp!

[Squanch72]

I put mine at the end with the modulation, before delay. I figure I want my passer to be delayed, not the other way around. Some advocate modulation in an effects loop, but I run my whole chain straight into the amp.

Phaser first modulation pedal after my dirt pedals. Does anyone here actually use the effects loops on their amps? I always plug the end of the chain straight in. Is it delay that is supposed to work/sound better in the effects loop?

Pretty sweet. The head guy at Heavy Planet released his top of 2013 and we landed at #3: http://www.heavyplanet.net/2014/01/regs-top-20-of-2013_16.html

Holy Zeus. Been underwater for a couple of days and missed out on this thread. Oodles of amp win!

Where do you folks put your phaser in your chain? I've always kept mine before my pre-amp (VT Bass) but I'm really liking it after my Echo Shifter when I want to go into full-on Hawkwind territory. That means putting it at the end of the chain though, and I can't decide whether it sounds "right".

(it's an EHX Small Stone btw)

I drop the phaser second-to-last. It's after all the gain/eq stuff and before the PN-2 tremolo. I like it after the gain to get those big swirly swells. Then I kick on the PN-2 to get the stuttery space effect.

Phaser after OD, fuzz and filters but before any time based effects (delay, reverb, chorus) and EQ.

Gaaa, Part 84 so far is all GAS!

Cheers folks, will keep it after my preamp/dirt and see if I come round to it.

Wouldn't that be a Sunn 1200S clone?

forgive me, you are correct. the boxes are the same size, and i used to own both, but yes the 612s were the 1200S cabs.

 

[beebassdude]

Aww beebass found a friend to talk about non greenboy cabs.

lol, just glad theres still people that are into COOL STUFF.

corey keep this dude around.

Got to work REALLY late today. Good thing I was up 6 hours on the week already.

Going to check out that RB800 tomorrow, curious about the high and low speaker outputs it has. Does it have like a crossover for highs and lows?

Yes but if you're cool you ignore the crossover and just use the standard 300 watt lows amp.

Band practice tonight. Fired up for the gig this Sat! We threw together another pretty cool poster, this one borrowing heavily from a qotsa style.

Dude, pics!? I used to have an original straight baffle Sunn 6x12 and I regret selling it so much! I never tried it on bass as I had it when I was just doing guitar. What speakers do you have in there if you're running it for bass? And how well are they insulated? I'm asking because I'm actually considering getting a 6x12 for bass! I recently played out of a 2x12 and loved the sound 12's gave me. I've been tossing the idea of hitting up a custom builder to make a really well braced and sealed 6x12.

heres the pic of the whole backline, the SC150 is powering both red cabs on the outsides. the speakers are Delta 12LFA/Cs (to make a 612 get an even resistance my guitarist used a mix of 4 and 8 ohm speakers, its either 2 4 ohms and 4 8 ohms, or the reverse, but the top two speakers are a hair louder, and nobody ever notices haha)

It usually evens out, just try not to let the man get too far up on you.

Thanks, just curious what the deal was with that.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...

Also when I read up on the amp all the issues were dudes messing with the crossover and blowing stuff.

Regular low into bassic should be lovely, I'm pretty sure the 800rb can handle a single 4ohm cab, I forget.

Great show poster, wouldn't it be nice if those gals in all those stoner pics would be dancing on the stage at the shows!!!

My Bassic is 8 ohms, I also have a beater Yorkville 115 4ohm which will be the test cab for GK when I get it lol, old gear makes me a little nervous lol.
