Dread Bass Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Im trying to get a similar overdrive/distortion tone to the one in this song specifically when the bass player plays slap. He uses a boss multi effects i think but i want to capture it using a stand alone. any ideas guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Fly Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It is not easy analyse the bass sound as it is (nicely?) mixed with the other instruments. If [u]I[/u] would need to get that kind of sound (this is not the kind of music I play though) I would probably use my boss ODB3 with a little bit reverb and some chorus. Having said that, I think the sound is more down to EQ than effects. If you play the same song with you band, I wouldn't be so worried about the effects. I think it is more down on how the bass interacts with the other instruments (i.e. EQ and bass-drums-guitar tight synch). Silent Fly [i]A quick note: I like the music but to avoid people that don't like to song to listen the entire clip, I suggest you give the exact point where you can listen the sound you are looking for.

queenofthedepths Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 [quote name='Silent Fly' post='131801' date='Feb 1 2008, 10:39 AM']I would probably use my boss ODB3[/quote] I often use this as well as the distortion on my ME-50 (together, that is) but if I were trying to imitate Opeth I'd probably just use the ME-50 on its own (never realised he used one too though!) - however, if you just want one pedal to sound like that, I can't recommend the ODB3 enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Cool the tone can be heard the best at about 2:34 we are not covering the song but we have a part in one of ours where i just cant find the right tone and this is closer to what i needif you no what i mean.
