tonyquipment Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Hello effects forum Currently I split my signal 1 into OD with clean blend and 1 into synth no blend The OD takes care of the low and middle register The synth takes care of the high register It's an overly distorted tone - almost guitar like fuzz/wall of sound distortion Now I'm looking at replacing the synth with another OD or dist to take care of the high end Any recommends ? It's a full boss set up I was looking at an OS2 or something like that but not sure if anyone has used one on bass ? Maybe even an acoustic simulator as a random pedal... not sure how that will all sound together ! Quote
Left Foot Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Is your signal spilt into two, a low frequency signal path and a high frequency signal path? Or are you saying that the synth was set up to just effect the higher frequencies within the original signal path? Just asking so that I know what you hope to do and what to suggest - obviously changing a synth for a OD will change the audio characteristics of your wall of distortion. Quote
tonyquipment Posted February 21, 2017 Author Posted February 21, 2017 The second one! The signal is split off by anLS2 I got an ODB3 which takes care of the low and clean mix So I'm left with the SYB3 which I have set to have a raspy sort of high fizz. The trouble is that it sometimes doesn't track that well with fast runs so I'm thinking a non tracking effect which will be an secondary overdrive or distortion It's all experimental anyway and the GAS is creeping back in after a long hiatus!!

0175westwood29 Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 If your after something high gain and quite raspy/aggressive sounding maybe look in to a rat based pedal I love my fuzzrocious cat tail, but we are all different https://youtu.be/B0sBYF22gMs Also you could look at the lateral sounds Spore, a lot of sounds in there and it's made in Blighty! https://youtu.be/bqWNJNOaxuQ Sorry for the blatant YouTube channel add!

Left Foot Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Yeah I would echo Andy on that. I can't speak highly enough about the rat tail I have, great pedal for a nasaly OD. You could also look at fuzz boxes, the malekko bass master has a really fizzy quality that may hit what you're after. Quote
