Patchbass Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Looking for a pedal to get close to the drive and tone in this song, any suggestions? Cheers http://youtu.be/1m8TmlS20ZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfox Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I think a phaser may get you close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 What a great song/album. No doubt this is some sort of real tube overdrive, but one that can be emulated by a VT Bass pedal. Sounds like some sort of neck humbucker to me with flats and/or the treble knocked down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah I love it. And yeah I was wondering either VT or maybe VMT sort of area... I believe Matt Sweeney uses an EB-0 with flats, just been trying to work out that punchy drive which probably came from a valve amp but now to work out what gets closest to it...

Iheartreverb Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Anything Josh Homme is involved with commonly has flats on it such as when he was playing bass on the last few Queens albums using that semi hollow Yamaha with flats. Flats with a bit of drive and a pick would get you very very close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyder Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) This sounds very much like what I'm getting from a Fender P with flats and foam under the strings going through boss CS3 compressor and a VT500 amp played with a pick. You could try a Tech 21 VT bass DI pedal ? Edited April 28, 2016 by spyder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note, anybody else going to the RAH to see Iggy in 2 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
