The bass synth sound I'm after...

[MacDaddy]

The bass synth sound I'm after is like on here. You can here it better during the breakdown at 2min 18sec.



Can you get this sound from the Line 6 floor Pod, Boss ME-50, OR Zoom B2.1U?

If the budget option doesn't work what will?

cheers

For me the defining character of it is the way the filter closes regularly at a set rate, so your best bet would be the EHX Bass Micro Synth. Although I don't know how you'd add that sharp attack 'click' (or even if you want it).

I don't know anything cheaper that has an "ADSR"-style filter envelope. Maybe the Line 6 FM-4 does it too, but I don't know, and that's an expensive and bulky box just like the BMS.

I was hoping to avoid the seperate pedals route. If the Line 6 FM-4 can do it, do you reckon the Pod Live would be able to too?

I don't know anything about the POD products, sorry.

EHX Enigma has ADSR envelope. And its cheaper than FM4. FM4 makes awesome sounds but most of them are not very useful.

I suspect that for the sound of the video, you need a keyboard.

You can go in that direction with a compressor, a little bit of chorus and playing with a pick. A good octaver can help.

I think the Vbass could cop that sound -in fact one of the presets sounds similar. Unfortunately that will requite a bit of woodwork or some rather heavy modification to work on your lovely little bass!

and definitely not the budget route!

I had the guitar version when it first came out - awesome in the studio. I'll take another look at the bass one when I can go wireless with it.
