I almost bought a whammy today. I should. Just because I have the money.

anybody have any expirience with the boss ps-5? i watched a few reviews on youtube, it seems like something cool that i could really use. ive been needing a better octave than the octasub mode on my synth wah, and i have a few riffs that would sound alot more psychedelic with a delay, but just sound a little dry as it is. with an expression pedal, does it control the pitch shift like the foot controller on the whammy?
A tube =/= tube head.

*Excluding Dopesmoker, which I've got to say has the end all be all of doom bass tones.
God you can say that again! First time I heard that song I had to make sure that some sort of ooze wasn't coming out of my headphones...
Return Trip is also absolutely SICK!!! It's a thick bass tone that just oozes onwards.
I can never seem to get that tone...![]()
What compressor would give the most stoner metal tone? Something with a tube? Yes, this is a serious question.
+1 to no comp. Maybe boost. Or boost into tube amp. Or just insane fuzz.
Actually, all those "compress" your signal (except the boost)![]()

There's a link to another recording I've crapped out.
Neck pup into a digitech Bass Synth Wah.
Bridge pup into a Korg AX1B multi-fx pedal, octave down and chorus effect, then into a Big Muff Pi.
I'd excuse my playing....but well. I'm just goofing around.
