You need a micro head and clean tone. See the P & W thread for the true way to good tone.

Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out
- Thread starter Korladis
- Start date
Starting a new job at a large corporation here in oklahoma. Waiting on training to be over.
Got some christmas funds.
Ordered a couple of the DOD Boneshaker pedals on sale through Harman. One just showed up today. Pleasingly, all the controls were set to fully counter-clockwise out of the box. This makes my mild OCD tendencies happy.
Got some headphones, and a new, smaller pedalboard for the folk rock band.
Thinking about picking up a "The Wash" pedal from Hungry Robot. Looks like it's delay and reverb in one pedal. Which I've been after for a while.
Love DOD and Black Arts, but just couldn’t bond with that pedal.Just sold it and am putting the money towards more fuzz.
Well, I have a micro head. Museum it for headphone/quiet(er) practice. And I do like it’s clean tone, but it’s rarely clean!
Just got it cause it was on sale and figured it could be fun to play around with or have a different tone to play with when recording on bass or guitar. Ordered another one to save as a birthday gift for Dustern's keyboardist/vocalist in March.
I’ve heard others use it with much success. Just not me! Good luck! There’s a thread about modding it to make the Depth knob more usable, since it does almost nothing stock.
Same, I was going to sell mine then they decided to blow them out at 75% off.
Boring, utility gear oriented question: who uses noise gates? Any cheap recommendations for someone who loves the MXR Smart Gate but does ‘t want to spend the cash for another one?
Maybe a boss ns2? Good enough for matt pike never tried it on bass tho.
Yeah, but I’m crazy and want total silence. I put it in the loop to mute the pre amp noise and everything, so all you can hear is faint speaker hiss, if you really listen.
Your option is fine, as long as you’re not an OCD son of a gun like me. Wish little things didn’t bug me, I’d have lots more time AND money!
Ironically, that has the depth at the lowest setting, letting through the least bass. If I remember correctly, though, JohnK said the sweep only reduces by 3.5% stock. The aforementioned mod makes that more useful, and apparently makes the knob sweep something crazy like 3000%. I may be off on that last one, though. I know it’s a cap swap or two, and supposedly simple if you can remove tiny components.
Any recommendations for budget modulation for creating ambience and general destruction while maintaining low end? My delay’s self-oscillation “trick” is starting to wear out. Been looking at Dwarfcraft Happiness (holy sheit), but that thing is out of my budget and is hard to get here in Europe. An expression pedal option would be great.
lots of cheap phasers and/tremolos around. i find tremolos really good on bass, one that can use an exp pedal to control the rate i think could be a nice change for you
