MacDaddy Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 We're gonna have a bash at some Uptown Funk. We're a 3 piece instrument wise - plus vocalist - so it's gonna be quite challenging. The proviso of only playing it live, is if our version sounds good, and not just passable. Initial thoughts are to rock it up a tad. Gonna be a lot of faffing with the bass sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford13 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 An OC2, 1st octave fully on, 2nd octave & dry signal fully off. That’s a good place to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking fuzz and chorus, but I'll give that a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford13 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 It’s more to give you that synth like tone for the verse, then change it up for the chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, keep some dry signal in along with the 1 octave down - I find that this helps to fill things out a bit more and maintains a bit of clarity, especially in smaller venues where it's easy to overdo the sub bass thing.

Doddy Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 When I have to play this song I use a 3 Leaf Audio Octabvre (with the mix knob at about 1 O'clock) running in to an envelope filter, my favourite being the Emma DiscumBOBulator. It gives a slightly synthy tone but with enough clean signal that it's not muddy. The filter adds a bit of a vocal quality. You can probably get a similar sound with any decent filter and octave pedal, although something similar to an OC2 will be more synth like than,say, the EBS.

That’s a good place to start. When I've played it I've kept the dry signal knob at around 10 o'clock. It helps give the note some definition. I struggle with the slap and bass fills alongside getting the octave on and off. Anyone have any advise for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
