Board looks lovely Steve!

I'm fairly certain the Deep Impact is used in this song. Time Is Running Out is done on a keyboard with clean bass on the top. Hysteria is Overdrive/Fuzz with Deep Impact and Clean bass tone.

I made a soundclip of Hysteria doing just that: [url="http://media.putfile.com/Hysteria---Tone-Factor-Hellbaby-into-Prunes-and-Custard-"]Hysteria[/url] The stop in the middle is where I change the Boost knob on the Hellbaby...I can't remember if I turn it down or up though, I think I turn it down.

[quote name='Ant' post='2882' date='May 20 2007, 02:37 PM']The best octave down ive heard was built into my old ashdown ABM 300 EVO II head, if the ashdown octave pedal uses the same circuitry (no idea if it does) it could be worth looking at. right now i'm using an old Digitech WH1 for all my octave needs.[/quote] That's what EVERYONE was hoping for with the Ashdown pedal, but they managed to bugger it up lol. The octave pedal is sh*te. And +1 on the Whammy for octaving needs, though I use the inferior re-issue, unlike Ant with his WH1-ness.

[quote name='Ant' post='2876' date='May 20 2007, 02:33 PM']see, everyone talks bad about the ODB-3 (myself included), everytime i've tried one in shops i've hated the results, but a bassist from another local band used one into my rig and it didnt sound so bad, he had it set at unity gain and it seemed to dissapear in the mix when he switched it on, but set a bit louder it could have been alright. Horses for courses.[/quote] Part of my old bass sound that you loved on those recordings was the ODB-3 into an old Marshall Guv'Nor. Either that or the other way around - I can't remember. I do like the ODB-3 for certain things, but at higher settings it does sound like a bee in a tin can.

[quote name='Hamster' post='1868' date='May 18 2007, 11:58 PM']The Digitech Bass Synth Wah is widely regarded as the best octaver effect. Hamster[/quote] I agree. I honestly think the pedal is worth buying just for the octaver, let alone all the synth and filter stuff. Fantastic pedal at an affordable price. I only got rid of mine because I got an EHX Bass Micro Synth, and the octave effect on it wasn't as good!

My (virtually) finished board. I'm happy with it, but I think I want just one last thing like a Delay (Not sure wether I want something analog, or something like the Echo Park that does a good Analog effect but can do all the digital stuff too). 1.
