AinsleyWalker Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) In a lot of modern hiphop/heavy electronic production the bass/sub are super bass-y and often 'slide' up to an octave/higher note in a run very quickly in a way that is not done by hand, it often sounds like a whammy could do if it was after some kind of octave pedal making the initial sub-tone. I use an Octron and an OC2 in my chain and was wondering would placing a Bass Whammy after help me with this? Does anyone have any experience running a whammy after octavers? The whammy in my experience sounds very cheesy so I'm hoping not to invest in one to find it just sounds comical.

bakerster135 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I use the Bass Whammy after my Sub Phatty to do this kind of thing, and it works great! Definitely octave pedals BEFORE the Whammy. I find the Whammy doesn't sound cheesy at all if it's fed more of a gritty signal. You may have been given that impression by all the guys on YouTube, doing w***y slap on a Warwick through the octave up setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
