| Adrian | Re: Bass Effects I never could use effects for my bass setup until I started doing DIY pedals. The suggestions for modifying guitar oriented pedals is really solid but for me distortion type pedals don't work well. If your bass player already can achieve a bit of distortion with the amp alone a booster might just be the thing. The Minibooster works very well for bass and has a natural and warm tone, great for pushing the front end of a tube bass amp. I have yet to try it on an SS amp though. The minibooster is on AMZ and Aron nelson's site ( a Jack Orman design). Also I use A clone of the Electro Harmomics Hogs foot bass bosster which can create some distortion when hit hard. One stetup I have toyed with is splitting the signal with a buffer and running one side to a distortion pedal and the other "dry" to preserve the fundamental - mix 'em back together at some ratio via a potentiometer. This would probably work well with a clean sounding amp. |
