[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]My current covers band does Chelsea Dagger by Fratellis and I’m looking for something that will give me a trebly, clanky and [i]slightly[/i] dirty sound but enough bass not to drop out of the song – something sounding like what id imagine a Rickenbacker through a valve amp would sound like.[/color][/size][/font]
[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font]
[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Ive tried a Big Muff and also a Boss Bluesdriver, whilst the Boss gets close its still a bit too fuzzy. My rig probably doesn’t help too much – P Bass with Flats > Tech 21 VT > Ampeg 350h > Ampeg 410he.[/color][/size][/font]
[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font]
[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]I get that the flats probably wont help but I do believe that the bass player from fratellis also uses flats on a P albeit through an SVT valve amp that probably helps.[/color][/size][/font]
[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font]
[font="Times New Roman"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Is there any pedal that would get me close to this type of sound without costing the earth?[/color][/size][/font]

I can`t imagine not being able to get that sound with a Precision and a VT Bass - though rounds on said Precision would help. I`d just adjust the eq on the VT til you get what you need by trial and error. I don`t think any other pedals are needed.

We're afraid of Mr Ric suing our arses, for suggesting using one of his axes on a Fratellis number.

B3K vote from me. That blend control is ace.

For a punky Precision tone though, I have to say the Vulcan (with the colour set to the old school position) beats the B3K. It's as if the midrange was tuned to pair with an angry P and sounds a bit like a Darkglass Vintage but with hairier balls.
