cheddatom Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Does anyone know what pedals Les is using on the song "Mr Oysterhead"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMa Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I should think they are probably ones someone has built for him like analog man i know he uses a few diy pedals peolple have knocked up for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 He does use a Sansamp bassdriver and listening to it he has an Envelope filter going. Overdive and Envelope is my bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 There's an octave up at one point so I thought maybe it was a synthy type pedal with envelope follower, octaver, and dirt in one box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 The MXR blue box does the old one octave up job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Really? I thought the blue box was a ring modulator rather than an octave up? It does sound like the octaver on digitechs etc rather than a ring modulator but I await correction. Are there any sites that detail Les' rig?

cheddatom Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ta for the link but I can't search on the les forum. Still, it seems he has more material out than I realised. Nice one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there somewhere particularly informative where you got the pic?[/quote] Line 6 DM-4 (Distortion) Line 6 DL-4 (Delay) Boss TU-2 (Tuner) Korg AX3000 (Guitar version of the Multi FX this is where most of his sounds are from.) Bomerang (Looper) And finally some of those bass keyboard pedals I would guess all the silver boxes dotted about are switchers and such, none of them are homebrew pedals. Les isn't much of a gear freak he used to work for ADA testing there preamps and effects so alot of the early 90's stuff is that ADA bass preamp but that korg multi would get you closest I believe.

cheddatom Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Interesting! Ta for that. I would love a DL-4. I guess he uses this for his reverse sounds on the primus live DVD I have and it's very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 "hallucinoginetics" or something like that? Cool!! I've not seen him use the bass keyboard pedal thingies on that DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agoulding Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 ive been trying to find out what he uses for a while now. A recent bass player magazine showed what he uses, Korg multi FX and the DM-4 - has anyone tried the dm-4 on bass? isnt it just the distortion section of the guitar pod?

dr.funk Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think that is an Access Virus A controller by those keyboard pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I love his drive sound. But I think it only works at relatively low volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Lo Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 So can anyone tell a total novice what sort of effect he's using right at the beginning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
