Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[Korladis]

So I decided on the megalith clone, I messaged him but he did not respond yet, he posted a demo of the pedal on YouTube and it sounds the same as the original IMO

Some cool sounds in there, but a lot of stuff I'd only find useful for noise-making, too.

I figured I'd tried to land on a tone like al in shrine builder or new electric wizard with the mid notch and frequency control, clearly volume and gain will be cranked lol, I'm worried about the input control though, my Hondo has super hot pick ups and I hope I can dial it back far enough too not over load it, it's easy to get to muddy with these things so it's gonna take some tweaking

Is that what Al was using in Shrinebuilder? The new EW does have a bass tone that sounds somewhat like that pedal.

Generally I'm a reader when I duke. That's fixin to change though. Vitamix is coming in today. Got my salad stuff, fruit, chicken and rice. Finally getting on the healthy train. I'm tired of my stomach hurting pretty much every time I eat.

Yeah wino,Scott, and al I believe, I gotta look around for this article I read about it.

Here's the tone in action!

 

[Korladis]

Oh, regular talkbass.

Let her get it. She's small, but she's real strong. First baby came out sideways...she didn't scream or nuffum.

:3

Your movies references scare me sometimes. Good thing i never get them, lol.

Mom introduced me to that one lol.

Damn you ok? I never had that going on

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Yeah, I'm good. A few years ago it was nausea every time I ate. Then immediate sh*ts. The only way I could ease my stomach was beer and when I was drunk I could eat... weird right? haha.
This time it's just uncomfortable, aches for a few minutes then slight hurty for a 5-10 min. Almost like real bad gas. I don't know. I've been eating less lately and chilling on the fast/junk food. Now it's occasional. I should pay attention to what the hell I'm eating. Cutting the portion sizes sure helped. Probably indigestion.
Vitamix is here! First green smoothie. Sh*t aint to bad! I forgot to get pineapple, oh well. Spinach, mango and bananas.

I wish they'd make another album.

I wish that with Sleep, too, though.

They'll be back someday, spirit caravan has to do a album first, along with om

 

[dozicusmaximus]

Oh, regular talkbass.

I would highly suggest saving up for a beater truck...

I lost over a hundred pounds since like last summer. I never get nausea like ever unless I drank too much or ate a poisoned burrito.

Once it leaves me it sure leaves in a lot of weird ways, but I don't seem to suffer much carrying it to term that's for sure.

I need to start walking again I've been very lazy. But I haven't been eating as much to counter that though.

I probably don't push myself hard as I could that's for sure. But is easier for me if I'm interested. I can't do actual gym stuff I have to be outside.

 

[Blank_0101]

Can't get into running though. Rather walk 10 miles in a 45 pound vest

Noob question for the pre/power amp guys: Can you run a power amp in stereo mode with different impedances per side? As in channel A @4 ohm and channel B @ 2 ohm. Or will it burst in flames and shrapnel?

Yeah. Any stereo poweramp that won't do that you shouldn't buy. Each amp is independent.

Yeah, as long as it's rated for the load you're attaching it to you should be fine. Think of it as two separate amplifiers in one box.

Drummers that wear gloves.....don't.

Mock-up of machete board. There was a doctor Q on it for a minute but wasn't digging it. I'm still missing something.

I had one that did. If he did or didn't though he got horrific hand wounds was creepy. Callouses never stayed on him

 

[dcarwin]

Anyone have a good budget phono preamp they can recommend? I only have a cheaper Technics belt drive, but the ****** phonic preamp I'm using isn't doing the best job.

Bellari vp-129?
