Re: Bass effects!
Had a bit of a wang on the DemonFX Microtubes A7K today, quite enjoying it, was running it into my interface and then into the Torpedo Wall of Sound plugin with a 8x10 ampeg cab and the poweramp simulation turned on, sounds killer!
How can I be sure I'm here?

Re: Bass effects!
Sounds so nice. The Hpf and dry options are perfect for an old valve amp.TmcB wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 3:06 pmOoh twinning!crowbgood1 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 2:53 pm Just arrived today

That's good to know, thanks! I've had one sitting in my AliExpress shopping cart for some time now...

Re: Bass effects!
It’s pretty fun but has a lot more of a learning curve than I expected for some reason.
Using it for a Tool tribute project. It’s definitely a vital um…implement

Re: Bass effects!
The bass whammy gets great reviews for guitar as well, was really tempted in the rubber monkey sale when they were $350 ish. The equiv. guitar whammy is silly price...

Re: Bass effects!
Can confirm, this rig is pretty much perfect - just need a DD3/5 and a solid EQ (hopefully a Source Audio EQ2) to finish it off. Best bass sound this side of an SVT I've ever heard. Have to get a pic of the amp (Markbass LM Vintage) and pedal setup soon...and maybe a recording.
This has to cover quite a lot of sonic ground - vintage-influenced soul with a flatwound-equipped P bass, clean 80s shit, all the way up to driving Tool songs. I highly rate the Vintage Microtubes for the dirt. Bass Whammy does everything it needs to do, and sounds glorious with chorus.
Ideally in a bi-amping situation, I'll split the Bassrig (clean-ish) and X Ultra (dirty-ish) to be pre and post effects, and take DIs + outputs from each. In terms of gain stacking, the BassRig has a touch of hair, the X Ultra has only the very top frequencies distorting, and the full-range (but blended) drive comes from the Vintage Microtubes. I find very careful stacking and clean blending to be the only way to get a drive sound I like.
