Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.17 Transforming Guitar to Bass guitar pedals

[renangoncalvesflores]

When I saw the man punching the Big Muff I LOLED

[Apathesis0]

That is some fire right there. Funky synths outta some old Genesis game or something. I might just need a Ring Thing now.

[ShaneDignan]

Hey Bill, I don't suppose you could do another demo of the ring thing as an intelligent ring mod, could you? I'd love to hear all the potential variations. Are you able to tune the oscillator/carrier to different intervals, or are you only able to tune the oscillator to the exact same pitch as the carrier?

[Effectology]

@ShaneDignan

I will see if I can do something for a Tone Tips feature.

[eddievhfan1984]

@ShaneDignan Try using a POG or HOG to change the octave of the feedback loop. Just like programming an FM synth.

[Decubuntu]

WOW! the stand-up bass blew my mind, I'm a bassist and sometimes I just dream of that upright-bass sound! I assume I just need the micro synth for this as I already am in low tune so no octave down necessary? that's it, I'm buying this thing!

[howtoplaybassgood]

That's sweet!!!

[czibzol]

Amazing!

[synthfrets]

Awesome demo!!! Every time you put up a video it's like christmas day :)

[SeasonsBar]

omg the warranty card how creative... i shall gather my warranty cards and start doin something about it now

[alsharpton666]

So many warranty cards wasted.... If only I knew...

[DhampirBoy]

The warranty card bit is hilarious.

[Jule553648]

How come that you have such a high gain and no 50Hz brum or other noises? Are they later filtered?

[RadiatorBoy]

Regular guitar my ass! That is a thing of beauty!

[elbuddero]

Wow... Seriously guys... what the... :-D

Way beond awesome! I'm really kind of speechless with all the crazysoundpedalingenuity here. Makes me definitely want to buy more EHX Pedals... which will probably happen after I'm at least half way finished with exploring the sonic possibilities of my HOG in my current setup... ;-)

[TheGhostMachina]

Bill is my Hero. I buy a new EHX pedal every month because of Effectology. Waiting for my HOG to arrive. Any day now!

[Effectology]

@TheGhostMachina

Thanks Man!

You will LOVE the HOG!

And I dig your "Talking to Robots".

Its rocks

[karbetal]

@TheGhostMachina bill is a freak of nature i have a cathedral reverb and love it esp. the room mode, with infinite is awesome

[TheGhostMachina]

Bill is my hero. I now buy a new EHX pedal every month because of effectology. Simply stunning.

[irrationallynegative]

Great stuff, as usual!

[ocarinaofprime]

can i use a big muff w/ tone wicker?

[Effectology]

@ocarinaofprime

Yes that works also.

Boost 100hz and 1K with an EQ by 15dB for best results

Tap the back of the case.

[amourdutigre]

Amazing as always! I am curious as to why the big muff is microphonic at ultra high gain. I will have to try that with my metal muff... It would be cool to tap it in a gig and get an explosion.

[Effectology]

@amourdutigre

There also is an LPB-1 booster after words.

The gain is way huge and ANYTHING becomes microphonic at the point.

Its the plug and jack that make the most noise when hit.

Without the Plusar pulsing the noise you have a lot of white noise hiss.

[IDanClarkI]

@Effectology

what about a little big muff?

its supposedly the same but smaller casing yes?

so in theory it should work

[Effectology]

@IDanClarkI

Yes it will work if you smack the back of the pedal.

The big box metal is thinner and seems to make more noise than the little XO box Muff..

[IDanClarkI]

@Effectology

tried it, and it doesnt work, but im not sure if thats because i was playing it through the iMac or not

would it be something to do with the power supply?

[Effectology]

@IDanClarkI

You need more gain! Max out the input to the mac or add a booster after the muff.

Gain is the answer as you need to make the box microphonic.. The little muff is very strong metal which takes more gain to get it to that state.

[carboxymoron]

Will an EHX warranty card from my Cathedral work or do I need to buy a HOG now?

[Effectology]

@carboxymoron

One card fits all!!!

[Pikachu25sci90vt]

Oh snap! Oh snap! 1:22: STEVIE WONDER "SUPERSTITION" U are just amazing! Keep it up!

[cmc2878]

Could you do something showcasing how to get a portamento type sound...something akin to Styx' Fooling Yourself?

[ehowie]

sir, you are a genius.

[ogunhe]

He simply walks into Mordor...They BETTER be paying you well.

[TheGuitarCafe]

Awesome! The final part is unbelievable! You're a genius!

[mbartolomei]

Even the snare/brush sound is produced using a EHX document/manual.

Bill Ruppert is unbeatable!

[guitarslasher3100]

y'all are absolutely ridiculous with these sounds that you come up with. awesome stuff!

please keep it up!

[lauriemonk]

more crazy sounds!

[crohno]

wow when I first read the title i thought that you have ran out of inspiration, i thought that you were only gonna the hog with -1 octave but it was amazing as always, i love this channel =) congratulations and thanks for sharing all this

[AntwaanMusic]

OMG the very last one is pretty impressive, I won't spoil for people who didn't see the video, but it's just... speechless

[U0kiT0ki]

cool

[Esparoba1]

Haha EHX warranty card  epic

[MechaSixVII]
