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

Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.17 Transforming Guitar to Bass
By Bill Ruppert

Welcome to Electro-Harmonix's "Effectology" series, in which we create a remarkable collection of impossible sounds using just a regular guitar and EHX effect pedals!
No keyboards, samplers or midi pickups were used.

In this episode explore producing unique bass sound using just a guitar and effect pedals.
I also show all the individual pedal settings at the EHX forum listed below.

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?

@ShaneDignan

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

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

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

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 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!!!

@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.

@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

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..
