Dread Bass Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 ok might be joining an industrial metal band what distortion do you think would work well. i have tried with my big muff and am not winning. this may be gas but i fancy a sansamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 the boss obd3 bass overdrive has been described as very industrial-sounding...admittedly not in a 100% good light, but it might be worth a try out. it was too much for me, but a very fuzzy tone - it has the blend function and 2-band eq too.

tayste_2000 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Boss FZ-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 cool i will look into these 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenofthedepths Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Not just to be awkward, I'd suggest using BOTH of them... I use an ODB3 and the distortion on my ME-50 - individually they work fairly well and together they're absolutely monstrous - I play a fair bit of industrial metal so they should suit your needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 yeah its not a bad idea that im looking for a fz-2 first. they r discontinued so bidding on ebay just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I just want to get the NIN bassist's live tone. It's so smooth and crunchy and fuzzy, but it cuts through so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Tayste says the Boss FZ-2 replicates the NIN bassist's tone perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegarcia Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Yea, the FZ-2 is awesome. The MXR Blowtorch may be worth a look too if the sound samples I've heard are anything to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr pablo Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Flame me now but there is a behringer copy of the FZ-2, blatant rip of IIRC, maybe a cheap option and if its any good rehouse it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 It's quite strange. I just looked on ebay at FZ-2's and they seemed to be going remarkably cheaply compared to a few years ago. Although they didn't seem to be hugely rated when they were available, they earned a reputation after they were deleted. Seems like that reputatation has gone - or maybe just the players [i]du jour[/i] aren't using them anymore. Fashion can be so fickle, but great if you buy at the right time.

Dread Bass Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 do you no what model it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 they do 2 a super fuzz and an ultra fuzz the ultra being the fz 2 copy has anyone tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARGH Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Ignore all the above... Get a SansAmp and a Metalzone..either that or a TurboRat. VERY VERY nasty...but the Metalzone was the Blackmetal pedal of choice in the 90s. And I welcome anyone that uses Tech21 products!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiingLizard Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I'd get yourself along to a ZVEX dealer and try running a Machine into a Woolly Mammoth, but then you're looking at about 340 quid so not cheap - [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/14631"]Machine - discounted[/url] and [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/14632"]Woolly Mammoth[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 What does the Machine do exactly? I guess it's Bass > Machine > Fuzz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiingLizard Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 yeah you would use it bass -> machine -> fuzz -> amp it's somthing like normal fuzz generates odd harmonics and the machine generates even harmonics so if a bass sends a 1 to a normal fuzz, the fuzz generates 3 5 7 say if the same bass sends a 1 to a machine it generates 2 4 6 if you stack them you get 2 3 4 5 5 6 7 7 7 9 9 11 or something like that as the fuzz effects the added harmonics of the machine that's how I understand it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 ok cool i won a fz-2 on flea bay for £20 not bad. I went for one of these after reading a few reviews and i like the fact it is discontinued.I will wait n try it if i dont like it i may look into a metalzone. skiing lizard id love to try out zvex but this is just for the audition and a jam so i cant justify the expenditure. next on my list is a whammy pedal.

cheddatom Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Metalzone's are great on bass! I got an XP-100 cheaper than you can get new WH-4s or any other whammy. Maybe look for one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
