Baloney Balderdash Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I've discovered that really high gain heavy distortion and fuzz tones benefits, both in terms of added heft but also in terms of improved articulation and definition, from having a subtle polyphonic 1 octave up effect (of course blended with a good amount of clean signal) stacked into it. Personally I use a TC Electronic Sub'N'Up Mini for this, placed as the very first thing in my signal chain, right after my bass, and loaded with a customized Toneprint that has been tweaked to deliver an as authentic/natural sounding octave up effect as possible, but I would think, given the high gain distortion and being applied relatively subtly, that even more synthy/organ sounding octave up effects would work for this without ending up sounding unnatural. Sounds absolutely huge, and as said improves the definition and articulation of the distortion as well.
