Just finished off my rig. Advice...

[Rikki_SB]

Finally just got my new rig together, anyone got advice on my settings ?
Im looking for a really grindy/rattley kinda tone, any words of wisdom ?


Thanks in advance!

When a "grindy/rattly" tone is mentioned, I always think of Fleas tone. Apparently he uses a Boss ODB-3 to get that, through his set-up.

Turn everything up on the Sansamp, everything flat on the Ampeg, and just adjust the Ampeg volume to suit!!!

Er, isn't that the kind of question you should ask [i][b]before[/b][/i] buying new gear?

Shouldn't you be sitting and fiddling with the controls, finding out what does what as opposed to just asking on here?

Flea genuinely uses an ODB3? I used one and doubt I could get remotely near!

What am I missing, Lozz? Don't say a million-quid of cabs, sound technicians, years of experience, etc... I mean [i]other than those things?[/i]

What cab are you using with it?

No, serioulsy, I read that somewhere, can`t remember where though. I think he used it on a very minimal setting, as his GK gear is/was quite grindy anyway. Just adds a little bit, and combined with his rather aggressive style, pushes the sound into that grind/rattle.

I think really what`s missing is his Modulus, and the GK rig running at fair volume. Chuck in the ODB3 and there you go.
