The Bassist's Effects Line Up

BT

Yea it's good. Versatile too. I was looking for a woolly mammoth but the blowtorch fills up well enough until I feel like spending more for an upgrade.
 
i don't think it would necessarily be an upgrade. the WM does a good gated fuzz while the blowtorch does distortion well. in a way it's not really the same effect

The main effect I was looking for is a fuzz. The Blowtorch does fuzz up when you hit the 'blowtorch' function, and hence is serving as a replacement for a much-coveted WM. The MXR is good enough probably, and while 18v power gives it loads of headroom, the power requirement DOES give a big headache because I don't have a fuel tank..
 
hey dumbcube,

do you blend ur dirty signal with ur clean signal?

cause I like a sound with just some crunch but the pedals i have don't seem to be able to produce the sound i have in mind. Thought maybe blending it would help. Or maybe it's the pedals i have.

Have a EHX bass blogger. I know it's not the best there is for mild distortions, but well, it was sorta a gift. So yea..

i've used it before. it doesn't do GATED fuzz. not many pedals do in fact. and the WM doesn't do distortion

okay maybe i'm not looking for a distortion. But more of a fuzz.
Sth similar to the bass tone on Muse, time is running out. But milder.

i reckon you give the zvex mastotron a go. the woolly mammoth totally kills on muse stuff, and while the mastotron doesn't give the exact same fuzz as the WM, it's close. there's one at blackwood. the price isn't too far off from US prices.

i'd get one if i didn't already have my arger C+. arger capricorn does muse well too, but the mastotron has a very, very nice price tag.

Thanks for the tip. I've read good reviews on the Mastotron, only don't have enough extra spare cash to get one to experiment.

I was told that the blow torch does give a similar effect, only haven tried it. But it looks quite versatile. The only thing is the prices on the mastotron and blow torch seem not too far. Don't know which to get soon.
Haha.
 
i'm also looking for something versatile. Like, a boomy fuzz such as on muse. As well, as mild, crunchy overdrives or distortions that add some color and drive to the tone.
