Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[CL400Peavey]

The Deep on my Ampeg channel on the preamp does not scoop mids, just adds a big shelving type boost to the lower frequencies. The original Ampeg SVT ultra-low does do some mid cutting around 500-1k or so

@askrere this will give you a substantial boost below tuning frequency. Try it, but bring your volume up slowly.

 

[dunwichamps]

I dont have the spec off hand as to how much it adds but its sizable and it adds all the way down to 20 hz easy.

First evening in a week that I don't have to work.
Wine and music binge.
The only Russian band I dig

corey, the clean and joyo clips rule and i hate you . Thanks for the delay ideas guys, ill look at the way huge ones.

Noted I'll be extra cautious, mids first like you said.

 

[Ron Now]

Clean Joyo and Chutlhu were my favorites. Very cool Corey.

Also Nick beat me to it, but yeah the deep switch doesnt cut mids like the normal SVT ultra low.

Echo Shifter is a decent pedal, but the tap tempo kinda sucks - it only takes effect when the pedal is on, and then reverts back to the slider setting as soon as you turn it off. Means you can't use the tap to "pre-set" the effect.

I also notice a big change in sound when turning in the oscillation switch (bit more distorted, bit lower volume). It works for me, but it's not a smooth transition into self oscillation.

I'd still buy another one though.

This is why i haven't pulled the trigger on it, can't set the tempo when the pedal is disengaged. I knew their was a reason why, i just never recall. The supa puss seems pretty legit, going to do some stalking on that one. The FX doc mod seems cool too but i remember not liking the carbon copy for some reason and its wasn't because it didn't have TT.

Yes! That pissed me off when I realized it. It would have been so much better if you could set the tempo before you turn on the effect. So close to something great.

nice sounding delay, but at the end of the day I just couldn't figure out how to use it in a band mix so I sold it.

Got the same. I got the Idiotbox Dimension X that I really like and haul to every practice, but the guitarist runs his Boss RE-20 on most of the time and I just see no way I'll use it. I mean I use it just to psych things up a bit when we jam sometimes, but that's it.

It's like a speed shift of the wave, I always keep it flipped up. Love me some phaser on bass and guitar.

I always felt it beefs the phaser up a bit. I noticed a slight volume drop when I flip the Small Stone on and it's on its way out of my board if I don't find a way to use it in a band.

Do you have the full sized or the Nano, as the Nano doesn't have that volume drop.

 

[Speedor]

Nano. Maybe it's just a frequency change.

I might not hear it since I am just playing at home. But it was pretty noticeable when I had the full size version. If you can find a Nobels Phaser it can do the Small Stone sounds plus a lot more and has a master volume. It can be found for cheap when they pop up for sale.

 

[dcarwin]

The switch on the nano did not make a huge diff for me at volume with the band playing loud. It's a bit of a thin/fat switch, noticeable solo, but not so much for at full volume with all the distortion going through it.

 

[Blank_0101]

See I read the old big boxes had a volume issue the nano fixed. Though like you said the phasers frequency modulating will by default alter things perhaps nullifying boosts to certain freqs.

The psilocybe also peaks my interest but is pricy. I like the sounds of clips I'd heard before, but I dig the one knob simplicity of the ss.

The ibanez echo station is the first delay I've ever liked on bass. I use it to fill up the spaces of being a two piece and for the oscilation noises. The tap tempo thing doesn't bother me I mostly tap it randomly to make crazy noises otherwise leave it at uber long repeats.

Matt and Joe your CDs are on their way, should be there by Fri.

That psilocybe is tempting. Bryce there is one in the classifieds for like $80 bucks.

Since I took today off, to recover from working a home show all weekend, I had the time to make some quick demo clips of my new bass. One "clean" clip and some with the Joyo Ultimate Drive, Wren & Cuff Pickle Pie B, Dunwich Volt Thrower and Dunwich Cthulhu Fuzz. Pretty much just picked my top of the heap dirt pedals for bass right now. Thought about doing the Wizard Fuzz as well, but I use it more for guitar and like the thick fuzz of the Cthulhu more.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I think I preferred Cthulu. W&C was definitely last.

PCB's came in for my Super Rat. Now I'm just waiting on the parts.

I saw this video of Palladio this morning. I thought it was pretty good. I haven't heard these guys before:
