Tool tone/FX sticky thread ver. 1
- Thread starter bigchiefbc
- Start date
Curious if anybody has any feedback for me: https://soundcloud.com/user-5250624...pler-oct-7-2020
The file linked above has some partial covers, plus some improvisations of my own mixed in.
My goals are something like the following:
1. Sounds like bass
2. All the notes are audible and distinct
3. The tone is warm and dynamic without getting muddy
For anybody wondering, there are 4 tracks. DI, SM57 (dirty), Beta52 (wet), and a 1/4" clean line in.

Always been inspired by effects to push up limits of creativity with a bass. I started 13 years ago building up a pedalboard similar to Justin Chancellor, in order to play accurate covers. Then I customized it according to my tastes and recently made it more suitable for the compositions in my (Bass/vocals + Drums/vocals) duo project.
Pedals choice and order are thus carefully considered : I prefer phaser over flanger sound and modulation on purpose after delay, a volume pedal rather than turning pot on instrument by hand, a delay with tap tempo and embedded presets, an additionnal reverb activated at the end of the dirt loop (LS-2) for solos, a final looper to add low and/or high layers...
My effects chain order :
> Boss TU-2 (Tuner)
> EBS Multicomp (Compressor)
> Darkglass B3K (Overdrive)
> Boss LS-2 (Line Selector) with loop : > Digitech Bass Whammy > MXR Brown Acid (Fuzz) > Blackout Effectors Musket (Fuzz) > Fuzzrocious Rat Tail Custom (Distorsion) > Boss GEB-7 (Equalizer) > *Neunaber Slate V1 (Reverb)
> Dunlop DVP4 Mini (Volume)
> Walrus Audio Mako D1 (Delay)
> *Neunaber Expanse + ExP Controller (Reverb + Shimmer + Tremolo + Phaser)
> TC Electronic Ditto Jam X2 (Looper)
* Programmable
For recording :
> Mesa Boogie Subway Bass DI-Preamp (DI / Preamp)
> TC Electronic Impact Twin (FireWire audio interface)

New pedal day!
With the Justin Chancellor Signature Pedal in limbo ..and after listening to a lot of old school Metallica in the last week.....I bought a Morley.
The project i joined a few weeks back is really moving quickly, we have one song finished and we're about to get to work on 3 more. If they're serious, I'm serious
Im gonna test it out if I can tonight, and hopefully this weekend I'll be able to post some clips. I'll also do a video of my board and signal chain for you guys

it was designed to cop cliff burtons sound so yeah. It is a nice box - I had one. I preferred other wahs though and a separate dirt pedal
Grabbed one of those rats. Friggen awesome!!!
I’ll be putting rat style knobs on mine eventually. Or all black like one of the ones someone else got on their IG page. kinnotone I mean.

As promised, here's a picture of my board as is.
So my current signal path is a follows: Bass (Stingray) -> Morley -> Vintage Microtubes-> Chorus -> Amp (GK) with the delay in the effects loop.
I have a 4 x 10 at home and the bandleader has an 8 x 10 (that i will soon be buying) at his house. All in all I get a very thick, Justin Chancellor-esque tone from my rig.

One of the questions i get most, is about the Tonebender and "what pedal can i get that will sound like it, that wont break the bank"....there have been threads and Facebook conversations about this...and the MXR Brown Acid Fuzz comes up. Well someone i "tone trust" has tried one and its still missing something.
So i am having a pedal builder come up with a Tonebender clone at a decent price. There will be a limited number of 10 built to start.
These will be in a Sansamp size enclosure ...1590BB and the power and the in/out jacks can be mounted on the top.
These will also be hand soldered PTP (point to point)...not like the current Tonebender re-issue, which is pcb (cheaper)
They will be adjusted for bass frequencies, to which the TB is awful at. He may even put a guitar/bass switch on it....but that may come on batch #2 depending on initial interest.
He is still working on a price.....not sure posting it here would be kosher, so if there is any interest, contact me and i can give you his deets. He is on top of his game, so these should be top notch.
I will DEF be doing an A/B comparison video, once he has done his research and builds me one. So here (just for reference) will be an idea. I will post a pic

Hey man, I'm pretty sure I got the one in the Kinnatone video... which doesn't have a label for the 3-way toggles like yours. Did yours come with that or did you add it?
