What, a bass pedal🤯🤯🤯 this a pretty much a stock CE-2 but boss added a clean blend and changed one capacitor to leave the bass frequencies intact and modulate the higher frequencies. In lue of a a lengthy build report, I did one on the circuit already in my second sea build report, I decided to focus my efforts into a bass sound clip.
The build itself was simple standard fare. Matte light blue tayda enclosure and my boi Yondu for the artwork. Azure is blue and Yondu is a badass so it made sense to me.
For the demo, I decided to do a shootout showing the pedal off against the HF-2 flanger (same as the BF-2B flanger) and the PH-1R phaser. What bass line could be more iconic for modulation? For reference I recorded the bass (fender Pbass standard) going into the CS-2 compressor into my looper. The looped signal is into the pedals and then the sludge hammer. It leaves the sludge hammer's direct out into the two notes cabm+ where I'm using power amp and cab emulation and into the interface

Sweet! That's just about the most useful pedal demo I've seen. It is now crystal clear how order my project queue ;D
Gorgeous sounds. Like sonic cousins those three. Have yet to build a non optical phaser, so might look into the emerald. This definitely makes me want to get my CE-2 working again (level problems) and back into the silky smooth territory of chorus.
Sounds great and I love the bass playing!

I thought the same thing. Best demo ever! 8)
Time for me to put Jimi cap on (is that right? ???) and phase some bass.
Okay, late to the party here, but my wife and I found a Squier P-bass literally on the side of the road in our neighborhood a couple of nights ago (someone was moving out and dumping stuff en masse). So now I'm suddenly going wild looking up info on bass effects! Yes, this demo kills. I know I'm going to need some bass mod and dirt real soon here (well, after getting a cheap bass amp, I suppose).
Thanks everyone, glad you found it helpful.

I have a cheap SS ampeg 15w bass amp but since I built the sludgehammer I haven't touched it.
I have a fender bass rumble with an 8" speaker I used at one time to test effects. I usually just run into my Scarlett 2i2.

Thanks, everyone. I will definitely check out the Sludgehammer. This is a new tangent for me and I'm having a blast so far. This bass cleaned up pretty nice and at this point I'm looking at maybe shimming the neck, but otherwise it's ready for action. I really love the sound of chorus with bass. New Order is probably my main referent there.
