Part 2: Electro Harmonix Bass Big Muff Pi Demo

[sumiboy88]

could i use this pedal to get the sound cliff burton used on anesthesia (pullng teeth)?

[weetallman]

thank you for taking the time to create these, they are very helpful - I'm a bass player since 85, and I used to have a ton of effects pedals when I sat in my parent's basement and played.. Since I play in bars now, I don't use any effects at all - but the band is wanting to do Muse's "Uprising" - I figure this would be a good pedal for that (and I can play around with adding it into some other material) - but can you tell me - how muc DO you loose over all volume when you use this on stage?

Do you think this would work to get a sound like Justin Chancellor's (from Tool) on Jambi?

[bryanrtyler]

@silveroon009 Probably not. The one distorted part he has in that song is done with a Colorsound Tonebender, which has more of an overdriven/grindy sound.

ive just bought this pedal. I play in an ambiental-electro-postrock band (oh well i dunno other words to describe our music, sorry). would you give me your suggestion about the setting i should use? currently my setting is volume 12 o clock, tone 1 o clock, and max sustain. thankies :)

and this is a nice review

[ofhumantestvids]

im looking for a "vintage, bass ran through a guitar amp with blown paper speakers" sound if you know what i mean by that. what do you think would help me achieve that sound? btw great GREAT vids. have really helped my define my sound as a bassist.

[bryanrtyler]

Hmm...not so sure about that one. If you have any references to the sound you're referring to, let me know and I'll see. I know there's a Devi Ever pedal called Torn's Peaker that's supposed to sound like an excurting/torn speaker- I haven't heard it myself. And thanks for checking out the vids :)

I realize this comment came in months ago, but it sounds like what he/she is looking for is the old Black Sabbath sound, when Geezer was (literally) playing through an amp with blown speakers because that's what he had.

i just went with a russian muff it sounds way b etter

[bryanrtyler]

If you like the sound of it better than it is way better for you. For someone who doesn't, it won't be better :) There's no better or worse- just what works best for you.

To all your questions:

1. Haven't tried the Line6, so I can't help you there.

2.. It should do fine for those old Metallica tunes if the tone and sustain are turned up fairly high.

3. Haven't used it with a wah, so can't help you there either- sorry!
