Hello there, thought i would say hello since ive been on here for ages. Some of you BCers probably know me from my addiction to the basschat market place (still check it daily at work ) anyway, good to say hello (finally) to this super friendly community of low enders. All the best Michael

hello Terry, fellow Norn Iron bass player here. Thats a lovely set up you have there. I should really introduce myself on this too, been lurking for years

[quote name='V2factoryman' timestamp='1364390504' post='2025782'] Interesting thread. I've never bothered with any kind of effect but have recently been learning a lot of Muse tracks purely because I enjoy them so much! I was thinking about investing in a pedal to get the sound a bit more authentic and bring some variation to what I can do in gigs (in context with the songs of course!). Do you recommend ferreting about for a Digitech hardwire cm2? I'll look it up in a minute, but do I need anything else to make it work effectively e.g. you suggest above getting the B3K as well? I play through a SVT 6 Pro teamed with Mesa and Epifani 2 x 10s? Thanks. [/quote] sorry V2factoryman, i only just spotted this thread again. i dont think you need the Darkglass to get Musey sounds no, although I haven't got one so can't be certain of that. I only commented on the Darkglass as it is one of my dream buys but it'll be a while before i get one heres a vid of Muse via Darkglass, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSB_-ZxTDXA I know Chris uses a Boss LS2 to mix in some dry signal with his Animato and other pedals, he always has that clean undercurrent for all his effects to keep the bottom end. Im treading carefully here as I don't want to give advice that may lead to you purchasing a pedal you might not be happy with (ive done it tons of times). all i can tell you is even through my pretty crap behringer combo (svaing up for new amp ), the Hardwire CM2 sounds great for Muse tunes e.g. dead star, darkshines and is a fraction of the price of an Animato. The Hardwire also gives a nice wee touch of grit if you want it so would be fairly versatile too although id say the Darkglass has a lot more tones in its arsenal. Up to yourself man, the digitech is fairly cheap and i love it, id suggest hitting your local guitar store and giving it a go (theyre made for guitar and are at entry level price so id say most guitar stores would have them in stock). If you do decide to get one, make sure you search ebay (got mine for £20 cheaper than most sites) Hope this helps, sorry bout delayed response Michael

ive got a digitech hardwire cm2 for musey distortion sounds e.g. hyper music, newborn. cost less than £50 for ex display model off ebay. sounds great, according to muse expert on talkbass (Kaputsport), it isn't a million miles off the Animato (either btw is a Turbo Rat). Pedal has low and high switches and keeps good bit of low end so shouldnt be problem. If it was me, id get the B3K and sell the Animato and pick up the Hardwire. just my opinion tho:) hope this helps
