vegas_hooker Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Just out of curiosity really...the pedal board thread isnt doing it for me in this respect. What pedals do you folks use for GAIN!? What would you recommend? Whether its sonic death terror or a bit of smooth warmy goodness. Currently running a chain of death with a sans amp BDDI, fulltone bassdrive and a maxon ROD880. The last sound man who engineered my band shook his head when i sound checked. My guitarists sounded like they were playing mandalins.

crez5150 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I have a David Eden Metro Combo with 2 x 10 ext cab.... the amp has two channels that I set up one with more gain for a bit of limelight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGonzo Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Do you mean what high-gain pedals do I use? Sansamp 3-Ch Pre into Digitech Bass Driver into (Chorus) into D*A*M BEZekiel Custom into T-Rex Bass Juice All outputs are pretty much flat out to drive the pre amp in my VBA so there's rich valve compression when the BEZekiel is on... Tayste, was it you that helped design the Ezekiel? I still get amazed by that thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 i use a DHA VT-2 custom, boss odb-3, and effector 13 2add for gain, the effector is also for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umcoo Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hey Nath, just using my DHA still at the moment. Gonna be looking for a separate fuzz when I'm earning though. I've never seen a pic of your pedalboard...share the wealth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGonzo Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 (edited) Kev, I might well take that effector off you at the end of next week when I get paid... Can you wait? I am certainly a lover of all out bass thunder! Edited June 23, 2007 by DrGonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumbo Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I use a Fulltone Bassdrive. It sounds especially phat with my 70's P-bass. It's nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_u_y_* Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 EBS MicroBass II. I have my "clean" channel which I like a bit dirty anyway when using passive basses. I then use my second channel to increase the gain a tad and boost my lower-mids too for a fuller fatter sounds. Nice to fill some space during the guitar solos as I'm in a three piece. I would love to go all out fuzz, but it just doesn't suit my band at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
