Here I was thinking the DOD Bass Grunge was the worst possible distortion to use on a bass, but what kind of lunatic uses a RAT?

I did. Thought it sounded ok. Once had a sound guy comment that it rendered my playing unintelligible and I was like "yeah, so?" I did eventually switch to a clearer sounding Digitech Bass Driver and then to Bass Big Muff, both equipped with a clean blend, since the band's material didn't benefit from bass being just some garbled noise. Edit: For all I know, I'm the bass player gently caress Your Website was talking about. Frank Caskelot fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Nov 2, 2018 |

My stupid RAT thing is years ago I bought an R2DU off of ebay for super cheap. For those who don't know it's a 1 space rack unit with 2 RAT circuits in it and a remote footswitch. Totally over kill for such a small simple circuit. The nice thing is it has separate ins/outs for each side so I can run one pre everything and one post everything or just chain them both together

Retaining low end is about having a clean blend. All distortion pedals adapted for bass do this.

Similarly, the other day I was amazed that anyone would buy a rackmount Cry Baby wah (https://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/dunlop-cry-baby-rack-wah) or that such a thing was ever made until putting together that it can connect to six different controllers placed in different parts of a stage, so it makes perfect sense if you're in Iron Maiden (https://equipboard.com/pros/dave-murray/#effects-pedals https://equipboard.com/pros/adrian-smith/#effects-pedals).

Funeral is a generational work of art. Great Release is the greatest creation of it's oeuvre, no one likes Animal Collective.

OR you can have Gene come to your house to hang out and deliver your vault that way. I didn't even see the price for that option. lol

One thing I did like about the Clash was when Big Audio Dynamite II sampled them. Sampling yourself is strangely cool.

Rat pedals indeed rule. It's basically dirt in a box and I still remember recording 2 whole songs with nothing but a Fender Twin Reverb, a Guyatone cheap but rad sounding delay and a rat. Took me longer to setup the mics than to fiddle with the pedals to get any sweet-rear end dirt.

Took me longer to setup the mics than to fiddle with the pedals to get any sweet-rear end dirt. Indeed. And indeed the worst thing about them (at least the current line) is that their shape makes them sorta hard to put on a pedalboard with minimal effort. My old Rat (bought new circa 2005 or 2006) had a block of wood glued to the bottom and then some velcro on the wood to make the velcro reach the pedalboard between the Rat's rubber feet.

I know there's a million clones/kits/etc. out there but I'm surprised there hasn't been an official Rat reissue in a 1590 or similar form factor (at least, none that I know of.)

I have like a dozen old-rear end LM308 chips and I am hoarding them and will retire on the profits when I sell them.

Native already has one of those in a Kontakt library and iirc Hans Zimmer made the original just by layering samplers and instruments in Kontakt. It's not like we need more of the drat things.

I dunno I can see Meteor being useful as a shortcut to getting cinematic bass for making walk-on or segue tracks or whatever instead of having to dick around balancing things and worrying about cooking your master limiter. I'd probably use it but not enough to justify $150
