Mexicola Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 This is a bit of a weird request but could you name any bass overdrive or distortion pedals that come in a white casing? I saw a video of a bassist with an incredible overdriven sound and the only pedal he was using was white. The only pedal I can think that it could be is a Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker? Are there any others? Cheers. Quote
Sibob Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Fulltone OCD? Could be any number of boutique/custom brands!! Any other markings of note? Si Quote
operative451 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Joyo california sound? Not so much overdrive, more a sansamp copy amp simulator. Drives like a nutter though... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioN1dq1sRcU[/media] Edited July 25, 2013 by operative451 Quote

Graham Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Aye, as abov, are sure it wasn't a Boss tuner pedal and the overdrive came from the amp? Quote
GazWills Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 [size=3]fulltone ocd is a very good call, but also could be:[/size] [size=3]OXFUZZ[/size] [size=3]t-rex bass juice (it's creamy white)[/size] [size=3]crowther audio pedals (hotcakes and the prunes & custard) are a creamy white too[/size] [size=3]some of the mxr (guitar) dirt pedals are white[/size] [size=3]lot of fuzzrocious pedals in white casings too[/size] Quote
Kev Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 What size was the pedal?? Many possibilities without any further info to narrow it down! Quote
Mexicola Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Yeah apologies, I should have just linked to the video. He has a boss tuner as well as the 'white' pedal. Thanks for the suggestions so far. It seems to have two channels so it could also be a Bass Metaphors or a Tortuga Sasquatch?

lefrash Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Just PM them on youtube.... i bet they would reply! Quote
lefrash Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 funnily enought they will be kickin about the wickerman festival this weekend as so will i! If I see them I will ask the dude in person! Quote
JapanAxe Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 That's pretty rockin'! The only thing that spoiled it for me was the drummer pulling a face like he was trying to expel a grapefruit from his rectum Quote
Sibob Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Yeah not a clue I'm afraid. I can see that he's got a couple of bits, but the only visible is his Boss TU-2 Si Quote
GazWills Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 listening to the song, and seeing the size of the pedal too, i'm 90% sure.... tronographic rusty box... sounds like jesus lizard bass to me, which is jazz bass and s/s traynor distortion... Quote
xgsjx Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 I really don't get what folk hear in that kind of bass tone? IMO it lacks bass & ends up sounding like a gui**r. But I suppose if we all liked the same sounds then music would get boring. Quote
Guest FretNoMore Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1374779566' post='2153202'] The Darkglass Vintage is white i think. [/quote] Nope, it's brushed aluminium. Quote
Guest FretNoMore Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Go to one of the bigger online stores and look in the overdrive pedal section, lot's of white ones. Quote

[/quote] I'm with Gaz. Sounds like the Rusty Box to me. I used a similiar sound (but nowhere near as beefy) here (jazz bass + Rusty Box) - skip to 8:10 in: [url="https://soundcloud.com/ex-civilians/fixtures-fittings"]https://soundcloud.com/ex-civilians/fixtures-fittings[/url] Quote

I really like that sound, but I can't imagine ever wanting to dial it in myself. Quote
GazWills Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 I think in the right band / style of playing, it sounds immense. Shellac, Jesus Lizard etc, but it can be too much in some cases. But for the JL, it's perfect, IMO [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boUZqysP5go"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boUZqysP5go[/url] Quote
Ruiner Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Obviously depends on the type of music. Bands like Shellac, the Jesus Lizard, Cop Shoot Cop etc. All use this kind of bass sound to great effect. Quote

xgsjx Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) I've sussed what's wrong with the drummer! He's being forced to listen to & play along with this (It's the same tempo)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hWAU-lJFaM Edited March 24, 2014 by icastle Link fixed. Quote
Norm Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 To me it sounds mainly in the way he plays, bass up treble up, mids cut, hit hard & fast with a pick for max clank & buzz. Cool sound but a bit wearing if used in every song! Quote
