General Questions / Overdrive for Bass?
April 01, 2017, 12:54:14 PM
It all started when I made him an arcadiator.  My bud, who is a real musician, gigs every week, you know, now has the pedal bug.  The arcadiator is a bit over the top for him though, even with the blend mod... I think he may use it to play a Jamariquai song, but thats it.

Anyone know a good bass overdrive?  He does not want a fuzz, or a distortion, he wants OD.  I loaned him a timmy, but he said it was too mild... I heard the klone does not boost the bass well.  I'm kind of in the dark when it comes to bass pedals, cause I don't play bass.  Seems like most pedals need to be modded to work well with bass, but I'm kind if in the dark here and I want to make him something that earns a permanent spot on his board.

Recommendations?

Cool encounter.  Anyone remember him in the HBO series Oz?  He was so convincing in that role, I couldn't buy him as a nice guy when I saw him in other roles... eventually I realized that was a character.

Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but did you ever share the daughter board on oshpark?

I would do a few at that price too.  Oddly enough I was thinking blue on black as well... I like how your dads fades to white too.  Black with red to yellow would be sweet too.

Did the "mid-month" signup sheet ever happen?  Not whining here, just want to be sure I did not miss it.... Been traveling for the last two weeks.

that looks amazing, I can't wait to build one of these.

I would do recommend an Egnater tweaker.  Pretty versatile and there is a 10w version.

These are going to last me forever


Anybody using funky pics?  Have any interesting ones?

I went the diy route.  Used the weber transformer for 8 isolated 9vdc outs @300ma, and 1 @2A.. I don't think I'll ever need another power supply.

That demo is just great.  Now if you could just play it while a bikini clad woman gyrates over the hood of a Camaro it will be perfect

I seem to have a thing for delay pedals.  There are so many good ones out there too.  The dirtbag, aquaboy, the multiplex, the zero point, the hamlet+... they are all sooooo good.  I love them all!  I cant fit 5 delays on my pedalboard though, its just too much space.  What to do?  Buy another one.... right?

I actually sold off a few pedals to raise some holiday cash, I ended out doing pretty well.  Enough to get gifts for my wife and two kids.  I even scored some bonus points by reducing the inventory.

I had some leftover cash too.  The result... a strymon timeline.  Anyone else have one?  it seems amazing, and I think it could replace my other delays.  The dBucket does a great dirtbag imitation, and with a pork barrel in the effects loop it gets really damn close.  I'm hoping with some time I can assimilate the others too.

It also does some cool stuff the others just can't like reverse echoes, MIDI and I can control parameter I want with an expression pedal.

This thing is going to keep me busy.

Wow man.  That is just amazing.  You have raised the bar on gut shots.   The amount of work and planning are so apparent,  the execution looks flawless. 

This pedal is akin to creations by Bugatti or Pagani.  A functional price of art.  Art meets engineering for sure.
