Stoner/DOOM Bassists thread part 37: Ancient Alien Fuzz

Jealous. I want free(?) fuzz pedals to play with.

Oh I'm not getting anything from them. The bass fuzz pedal has been announced but it's not out yet, is what I was trying to say. Although I do get a fair amount of free gear through my job we're not an amptweaker dealer. We carry a lot of other pedal makers but no one gives the cool stuff away. I got a free tuner pedal a while back. That was nice because I was planning to buy a TU3 the next payday.
 
Got my Iron Pig today.

Now, if I'm going to do a comparison with the Rat Tail, I need something from my stoner dudes.

SETTINGS. Give me all the settings you want me to try (for either pedal).

I forgot to respond to this. id love to hear them side by side. the RT was cool but too fuzzy for what i wanted. would like to hear if the IP is the same or not.
 
https://soundcloud.com/#still-valley/12-22-intro Alright, I didn't feel like going through the thread to find the embed code, and I don't remember/should have wrote it down, when Corey posted it last time. LOL.

I might redo the vocal part. Keep in mind, this song would be played as we are about to start playing. This lets us turn on the amps, plug in boards, tune up, and ready the fuzz cloud for Treked.

Opinions please.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to record any noise stuff. I have been mega busy getting everything together for this show on 12/22. Thanks ya'll.
 
JoeVictim, sounds awesome

High-dea...4x12 + 1x18 in one cab, 4x12's are normal full range, 1x18 is downfiring/folded and has a crossover thingy to only allow bass and sub bass frequencies, for some major ambient bass carpet the entire room in bass.


Also another one, this is directed to you Mr. Dunwich...what about a drum machine? I lost another by a last second outbid, and now I have a bid on another, if that doesnt work out I'd consider a cool Dunwich custom. http://www.stefanv.com/electronics/retronome.html
 
I got an email response from Brian at SS/BB the other day. I purchased one of their Team Awesome Fuzzmachines that come with a National Geographic themed picture. When I placed the order I requested if it was possible, to get a cool lava picture. Well, I got word back that it looks like lava is a go! Woot! With any luck, I should have that bad boy by the end of the month. I can't wait to see what it ends up looking like and sounds like in the flesh.

Oh, I saw a CL add for a local band looking for a drummer in the vein of Yob and Dark Castle. I might be able to dust my drums off for this. At least it sounds like it is worth checking out. I haven't played drums in a long time it seems.

You don't need no stinkin drum machine, just a looper and a Microphone. You could be the DOOM version of Reggie Watts!

Just bitter, I suppose, at ending another year (and stompboxtober) without getting any free stuff from premier guitars endless giveaways.
 
Wizard fuzz looks tidy. That's probably the cleanest wire job I have ever seen.

Anyone think the vocals should be changed up at all? I layered it and changed the pitch. The second layer has a delay on it. First layer has down pitch a whole step. Second is down pitched 5 steps. It was pretty easy to do once I reread my software owner's manual. Couldn't remember how to set up mic. Found a sweet preset for what was called 90's alternative vocal that had a weird reverb on it to start with. I covered the crappy mic in a sock (clean), as my budget windscreen. My wife was like, "I know we're aetheists but..." I said we are allowed to be evil, this is metal! lol.
