Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[lucas303]

Sounds cool! Any material to share ?
I've try not to go down the splitting-signal train (my board is already heavy loaded) but it seems to work very good for many of you guys haha

The Gucci Flip Flops clip I posted recently was a mix of clean and the PD7, but not through this exact setup. I'm already finding that I can get a wide variety of tones with this current setup.

I see myself sticking with this for the foreseeable future.

I'm gonna track down one of those PD-7s in the near future. I'm certain of it. Bolt Thrower tones must happen.

I've thought about getting a backup just because they're relatively inexpensive and I love mine.

Don't you dare take "mine"! I'll probably pick one up with my next paycheck. They don't seem hard to find necessarily, there's just not tons of them out there. But I feel like there is always a handful available. Of course, now that I say that, they'll all disappear by the time my paycheck arrives...

Regardless, you can dial in how much gets pulled out and it seems to work well enough for me. Here's the link, looks like I paid $25 + shipping:

SMALL FI 4 BASS CUT LO FIDELITY EFFECT

Thanks for that. I'm keeping the link in case I decide to put together a second board.

 

[Flamingo21]

I just rebuilt my board.

Tuner - compressor - HPF - octaver - Big Muff.
Funny thing is, ever since I accidentally found the Muff (€40 , a bargain around here) I've been unable to build a board without it, although I haven't yet used it for anything. I assume it belongs to a future me.

start using the muff!!!

 

[Novarocker]

Yeah muffs sound great, although they can be difficult to sit well in a mix sometimes.

 

[Deleted member 132197]

I feel you. I absolutely love fuzz, but in a band setting I often use my MBD-2 instead.

Probably a dumb question but are you using the octaver for going up or down?

 

[Andysalt01]

I always really want to like Muffs - Mars Red Sky use one on bass and it sounds ace. I can never get it to sit right in my band, so have decided to (disappointingly) give up on the circuit for the foreseeable.

I was a big muff guy until I discovered the Superfuzz.

 

[Flamingo21]

Not dumb.

The answer is down. My big plan is to use this one for "down", and the Sub'nUp for "up". Now my Sub'nUp broke down (pun not intended) but right now I don't need "up" .

The small builders have really improved upon the mass produced versions of the muff. They usually work well, as long as they retain the lows and don't reduce the mids. There's a bunch out there nowadays that are great.

Well mine certainly retains the lows. But wait... What's this? Muffs have been made by different manufacturers? Shoot, I'm such a noob.

They can’t call them muffs obviously, but yes. It’s a highly cloned circuit. My favorite is the Pharaoh Supreme, though there are plenty of others worth considering.

Cool. Now I feel slightly superior, because mine says Muff.

...but mine is a god incarnate? And not just ANY god incarnate, the supreme one. It says so in the name of the pedal.

I lucked out and had a blend on the one I first tried. I also tend to run very mid heavy at my amp, I think that's been the trick for me to work on a mix.

I need to just plunk the cash down for one...I still dig big muff's, but got to try one a couple weeks back. My god was it great.

 

[cornfarmer]

Hola amigos, rapped at ya something something doom stoner something.

REALLY going to try to call it quits after this one, kind of a bucket list bass as weird as it looks. I could never find one in black so I had to do it. It needed some help, but turned out ok.

The doom lab is pretty much ready to go now at chez cornfarmer, hopefully in the next week or 2 I can get another song done that I've been working on for a few months....between Bebé cornfarmer jr. and moving, waiting on panels to be built, then being evacuated there has been sheeeeit time to do anything. Gotta light a fire under a buddy who's working on vocal parts and then I'll have a 4 or 5 song EP thing on bandcamp done.
