darbs Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 bassically i was in the studio the other week and i did my day of recordin then didint go back ith my band....in a breakdown to one of our dongs the engineer decided to use some crazy effect on my bass. my problem is is that i have no clue what effect he has used and the guitards didnt think to ask haha....i have a GT10b so i dont think i would have a problem emulating the effect. [url="http://www.myspace.com/thisisachaostheory"]http://www.myspace.com/thisisachaostheory[/url] its on the song called confusion and it starts at 1.37....any help would be a massively appriciated :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Sorry man, you haven't got a chance of emulating that proper with a multi, soundls like some crazy studio bitcrushing processing, only pedals I can think that would get close are a WMD geiger counter or a maybe something sequencable like a Pitch/Mod Factor (both by eventide) with some dirt and maybe a filter, but those are serious investments for one song (Geiger counter's £200+) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darbs Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 currently i'm using a filter with mild distortion but its jus not the same i dont think al be payin that much for one song....the song does need the effect tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebasshead Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Cool song. It's been a while since I messed about with my GT6B and I assume the GT10B has much the same effects (+ more). I'm guessing the filter you're using is Phaser on the "step" setting, but if I were you instead of distortion I'd add instead a mild amount of the ring modulator (use it's "intelligent" setting). You'll need to play with the parameters, and the effect ordering, but I think you'll get very close for a live performance. Good luck.

harvey1-8 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I reckon it sounds like a ring mod with a but of fuzz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarhead Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Its been a while since I used it, but I think it resembles a patch that was on my old Zoom multi fx. Alien something or other. It has been a while since I used it because I broke it, but I think it was similar to that. It sounds a lot like some sort of bit crusher effect as well. Experiment a bit I say.

RhysP Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 A Moog Bass Murf would give you a similar "sample & hold" type sound - they're not cheap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 can't you just contact the engineer through the studio and ask him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darbs Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 if i'm honest...the ring mod is workin just fine...experimented with diff distortion and even tryin to add abitta T- wah but decided against it...i'm bassically usin the gt10b floorboard program and lovin how much bullshit effects i am comin up with...so long as i aget summert like i'm thinkin it should be orate!
