Forum collision! What fx do you use with... (can I say it here?) EUB?

[Lfalex v1.1]

Having recently acquired a fine EUB, I was just wondering, are there are other non-purists who use effects/multi effects with an upright? If so, which ones?

I'd love some sort of modulation box with a tap tempo for chorus/ flanger and a delay/reverb with a tap tempo on that,too. I don't suppose anyone manufactures an all-in-one unit that allows adjustment for rate/depth/tone filtering.. Or am I just asking too much?

When I used to use an EUB, I had a Boss OC2 and a homebuilt envelope filter (from the circuits in Craig Andertons Electronic Projects for Musicians book). The filter along with the bow could create a sound akin to a goose being strangled, which I quite enjoyed from time to time.

Chorus a dash of reverb and octave generally, although I have tried playing with some drives and filters for fun

I saw Edger Meyer play with Nickelcreek years ago and he was rocking some overdrive and an envelope filter whilst playing Arco, sounded great, but then he's an incredible player.

I think the roger linn box in the effects for sale forum might be what you're after!?

I just go for a tiny bit of chorus, the same default I use for bass guitar.

The sort of amount where you don't quite realise it's there until it's gone.

I use a bass synth pedal and an octaver on mine (not all the time though) have also used fuzz at times.

I'm wondering about the merits of a B3...
The blurb says the tap function can control all of the modulation fx and tie them to the same tempo....

Oh my god, I think I just wet myself!

Well, my band with the EUB was a sort of free improv noise ensemble, so it wasn't even the strangest noise in the room most of the time.

I just got reminded of a YT vid i saw a while back:

Not sure I liked that.
Over-application of a tap-controlled flanger/ noise gate combined with short slides sounds exactly like the sound effects they dubbed over laser bolts in the 80's.
A smidge of ring modulator on the top end, and I reckon you could nail the Battlestar Galactica tone.

But that's probably NOT what I bought an EUB for...

I know its not for everyone, but im of the opinion that you should bitcrush EVERYTHING... >.>

I fancy setting up a filter which will open and close depending on bow pressure. I even have the kit to do it. One day I will do it. I'm sure I will.

I have used an OC2 which was a lot of fun.
