MXR M82 Bass Envelope by Uriah Duffy

[jdaw74]

Wow, dude. Great sound. Great skills too. What does a guy with these skills do to practice? I mean, what else is there to work on?!?

[hecbiz75]

I have that same TC speaker! I use it as an extension cab with my GK MB210 combo, which brings my output power to 500W. Nice.

[rogeralcantara]

awesome! woot! :)

[squishy949]

I just had to start figuring out what he's playing at 8:36

It's a lurvly bit of improv.

[taariqtaariq]

this is made for playing Chameleon by Herbie Hancock.

:-)

[CowbellProfessional]

I gave it a dislike as I was hearing too much of the unaffected sound. Would have rather heard pure effect/direct.

[Buppier]

I really dig the playing here and other vids I saw of Mr Duffy. I just happened to find em. I have heard of Whitesnake but didn't know Mr. Duffy. I also saw some vids, recently, featuring compact TC Electronic heads. I like the set up used in this vid. Good for a small to med venue, prob?

[mrmonstercock10]

your fucking good

[wang222]

SO SQUISHY!!

[squishy949]

@wang222 HELL YES

[joazquinz]

yea, he got the funk

[alexmorris09]

Hey Uriah I'm looking for a pedal for that jamiroquai stuff and am torn between the MXR auto Q, Deluxe Octave and this envelope filter pedal so keeping in mind i can only get one, which do you recommend? and you mentioned on a reply to another comment about a hip hop sound,how can i get that low bassy sound like in Rnb songs? Love the playing by the way!

[udawggy]

@alexmorris09 I'd say get this one. Although I'm an MXR fan, the Auto Q is... well... do you know the saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all"? It applies. THIS one however is the shit. This WITH the Octave is REALLY the shizz! As for low bassy sound- lot's of RnB employs 5 string usage. Skill need as well. :-)

[alexmorris09]

@udawggy thanks for the reply i think i might get the Octave first. and it's a good thing i have a five string then! :)

By the way Whitesnake's guitarist visited my music school ACM a while (I say my music school but i'm joining in september) so you should come along when you're in the UK and give a masterclass! and show off all the amazing pedals!

[dustyroot]

@udawggy : Hip skills! From your resume it seems that you're quite a well-rounded player too! It's nice to see an FX demo where the pedal is set to something that would be practically applicable. Do you do clinics & lessons? There seems to be a lack of good R&B/Funk/Groove bass tutors out there. ;)

[mammothhunter43]

Thanks for opening with Strawberry Letter 23 homage.

[jbasslindsey]

Uriah what is a good compression peddal to use. I need to control my over tones.

[YeahChonas]

HOLY SHIT. I want your sound!

[tbass130]

the very best of this video is at the end, real smooth sounding around 8:38

[jaydenfre2413]

Thanx for the product demo,The retailers aren't much help showing stuff in my area.Wish Namm and the MFR's would travel around and allow customers to buy products at the show.They only want to do that with Gun shows.

[edenite]

okay serious question!

Where did you get that hat!?

[joshbass2]

you truly have brilliant groove

[eivind94]

thats just right!

[TheTrust42]

The effect is only as good as the player who uses it! You USE it dude1

[doctorr2]

Dude you sound sweet! I feel famous knowing you (It's matthew your old Kinkos buddy)

[crguti]

if you hear the fret noise, you're not playing loud enough.

[udawggy]

@crguti For beginners that haven't yet developed enough left hand strength this may be true- but not for everyone. I play really hard (I think TOO hard) and like the top end fret rattle in my sound, at least for solo stuff. But it's def not desirable when I'm playing something like Hip-Hop where I need to drop big clean bombs with consistently fat low end.

[darkstrikeofbass]

@udawggy It definatly adds a nice percussive element.

[squiresuzuki]

@udawggy I think he meant that if you can hear the microphone/camera picked up the fret noise from the bass, then the volume for the amp probably wasn't loud enough.

[z850615]

Hey Uriah,

1st of all, loved the reviews. i actually learned from it. there are just too few here on youtube doing this kind of review.

does this have the same Q technology with the Cry Baby 105Q Bass Wah? i just ordered one of these and i was wondering if it would be an overkill if i am to chain it on my board with the Wah. although i know and am sure that i can use this other than my Wah but cannot really use it all at the same time.

Your thoughts?

Cheers!

[kaipaulcarter]

What are you playing starting at 8:36? Sounds great.

[udawggy]

@kaipaulcarter I dunno- all just improv... I think I may just take that part and develop it furthur though.

[wingsnomore]

@kaipaulcarter that does sound great!

[FunkyMexicanBassist]

6:33 Thats what she said!!!

[sebajo82]

killer groove here

[yellofury]

that Lakie sounds sick!!

and that TC cabinet looks sweet

Do you like the EDEN head over a Staccato 51 ??

[uppityox]

wish i had enough money for all this stuff

[diamondsontherock]

have you collaborated with any thai artist musicians in thailand...bet they would die to have you collab with them.

[NickoBoogie]

Would it be possible to run this pedal with a guitar instead of a bass? In my opinion this pedal sounds better than most of the guitar filter effects..

[djfantom205]

are you really wight

cuz man you got RHYTHM

[SuperYourface13]

in MY opininion I dont really thinks thats well playing bass, its just random shit, no offense, just.....ewww.

Your good dont get me wrong, but the sounds makes me gip

[JEVentrillon]

@SuperYourface13 this is very good playing, he's fooling around with the pedal just to demonstrate it. its not like he's performing AGAINST anyone

[MrRedrocket42]

Sounds bloody fantastic! Great demo, love your groove and tone.

[umtaramta]

I like the way you present effects. You are really helpful and do gr8 job giving overview of stomp boxes etc. Thank You so much.

[daraghkinch]

What's that tiny power amp? Awesome little setup.

[DivineWindOfTheSnow]

Effects for the win.

[dillikins]

Clank city.

[weblogalias]

Thanks for sharing your expertise, both with the pedal and the fretboard. Very inspiring.

[betweenwalls]

this pedal sound nasty i might be sold on it i have the Q-tron it can be a pain in the nut bag to get to sound good sometimes

i have two demos up that make use of it

[dselgy]

Are you seriously going to brag about having been in Whitesnake? That's kind of like a major league base ball player bragging about being on the Kansas City Royals. You are a pretty sick bass player though.

[Martiluk1]

@dselgy Everyone's got to pay the bills somehow. Heck, I'd LOVE to be in Whitesnake, that's probably a major paycheck.

[jabari22]

hey whats your setup! your amazing!!

[capemamaforhorror]

awesome man! your very talented!

im starting the bass. Iron Maiden and Whitesnake is my inspiration

[sgentet]

Great Video . Target reached.... I ordered one M82. thks

[scarred2112]

Extreme thanks for the very professionally recording (I *LOVE* the split "Left Room Mic"/"Right Direct Out") and explanation of the pedal's various functions. Between yours and fellow Dunlop/MXR endorsee Bryan Beller's (Dethklok, Steve Vai, Mike Keneally) demo I decided that *this* was the Envelope Filter for my pedalboard/"B-Rig" - my main pre is an SWR Mini Mo' with the built-in effects and whose "Bassynth" effect is the high-water mark to my ears., but which this has the same overall vibe!

[SquirmingCoil1]

Awesome demo. I wish all demos showed the actual process of finding certain tones, as yours does, rather than just providing snippets of different tones edited together.

*added to favorites

[MorTOOLBass]

Seriously good bassist. Your ability to stay in the pocket and utilize the whole neck is astounding. Dont get near enough attention. Reminds me alot of a certain Mr Larry Graham.

[mas502arc]

Man, what a great combo: Duffy + Lakland + TC.

[craigdamage]

wish I could hear the effect over the fret-noise and string buzz

[udawggy]

@craigdamage Yeah- I like fret noise/buzz. If you can, try listening to only the RIGHT channel- It's the direct sound output. There's still some snap, but way less than the LEFT channel room mic. Perhaps I'll do another sample with a p-Bass/flatwounds...

[craigdamage]

@udawggy thank you--THANK YOU! A thousand blessings to you my friend. I certainly wasn't insulting your playing/technique. I wish more folks would do bass demos on youtube with flatwounds. I switched to flats on all my basses a number of years ago for the reason of wanting lower noise. I admit,I do kinda miss the sound of a chorus pedal on my Fender Jazz back when I still used rounds...

[KapnKregg]

@craigdamage What the hell are you talking about? I hear the effect just fine.

[Thatguy301]

@craigdamage I'm sorry but you're deaf, dude.

[cerezita111]

Very cool!

[jolsarmy]

Wow. I like my MXR Auto Q but I wish I got this instead. I think envelope filters sound nicer.

[wordreet]

Cool. Was recommended to check Uriah showing off this gadget, by DK Marlowe of 'Bass Playalong' fame.

Nice pedal/box/thingy, and Uriah's playing is blimmin inspirational!! I'm no musician, but my bro will be interested.

B¬)

[15000volts]

i wish the vid was longer. his playing is awesome at the end

[jbonham78]

sounds like a fart?

[00Funk777]

This DOES sound a little like an FX25

[mastroplay]

@00Funk777 FX25 is good, but he's got only one sound! I think for example EHX, MXR and other filters are better, you can do a lot more things that only the funky sound of the FX25... Anyway I like this pedal

[paradeproductions]

Hi Uriah...I love your funk!....Can I ask, is that the 'Rebel stack 210 or 212?....and what are your thoughts about it..good or bad?...

Cheers!

[queentantrumofficial]

8:45 love that end section :)

[ciubz]

this dude rules with or without pedals. Respect Duffy!

[MooseKnuckleXXX]

Does anyone know what bass he's playing?

[tonymira00]

lakland 55-94?

[jimijimmi]

sounds amazing..

got one being sent over ;-)

cheers Uriah!

[JiffyNo0b]

Youtube quality audio isn't good for bass demos.

[TheColdNorthWind]

good demo, thanks. any chance of a demo with a guitar too? i think MXR is missing out on a big market by aiming this at bass players only.

[PreschoolJam]

Nice to hear a true groove player demoing an envelope filter. His technique is as good as anybody's, but he slows it down and puts space between the notes so we can really hear what the effect can do; he's not just showing off. Best envelope filter demo I've seen and heard yet!

[JonasTheBassassin]

awesome playing, and convinced me this pedal is worth buying haha.

[funkyhobbit]

Yo, U, i,m really diggin the new Line of MXR pedals, thanks to your bitchin demos.

Hope we can hook up again when you come over to the UK.

Regards, Mark Palmer

[diegobass21]

great groove man!

[fabibass]

great playing and demo as always !

[danielcorey21]

i bet that thing would sound ass as behind a wah wah on a LP esp. for palm muting shit..... i should buy one

[kyleycoyote1]

U da man!

[twizzler0007]

Uriah, that was sooooo awesome! You are so gifted! You sounded great!!

[James015]

Whatever you were playing at the end was gorgeous.

[BBB7of10]

So inspiring!!

[delaflea]

Sounds awesome! Uriah, was your Lakland set to active or passive during this video?

[jejgalvin]

Love it man, your videos are always wickid! Still needa get an MXR Bass ctave since the last video on that! That head loks pretty neat too

[RoL4ndInHo]

awesome dude. what bass is that :P ?

[inuyashaspet]

@RoL4ndInHo It's Uriah's bass, which is the most important factor regarding his tone. You should be asking about his amp!

fyi, it's a lakland 55-94.

[RoL4ndInHo]

@inuyashaspet

thank you ;)

[canvoodoo]

nice reminds me of the ebs iq

[bbBassYo]

dont tell my youre just making that all up on the spot:| youre one funky man!

[bbBassYo]

Hey nice stuff man! How are those TC cabs,, are they worth it??

[khund03]

Very Cool, I always wondered what that type of pedal was used for and how it sounded. Thanks Once Again Mr. Duffy!!!

[keynox]

super duper uriah!

[sysyfunk]

good man
