effects

[fenderb]

what effect pedals do yall recomend for tone shapening. I have a hartke bass attack, it really has a good effect on the tone, but not that durable, just temperature changes broke off the knobs. I want something thats punchy and can help get rid of my low in. 15 inch cab puts out a lot of low end...
thanx

Tech 21 SansAmp. Good sounding little gadget.

For getting rid of that 15ins speaker fart sounds I swapped mine for a 4x10 cab and got a really tight sounds now.
I only use colour effects...

Temperature changes?

I also use a Hartke Bass Attack, mostly because when I play at a friends home it's easier to take "my sound" with me - we all generally play direct through his PA to keep things simple and it's easier this way.

I love the Hartke "shape" circuit - that's my sound.

4x10 gives great punch. 4x10 sitting on top of a 1x15 = dream rig!

I still prefer the sound of a 2x15 cabinet and a 1x18 simultaneously. I like the smell of crumbling mortar.

Thats a nice effect if you can manage it - mind you most of the pre-19th century pubs out here tend no to like that one. They wince even at the Boss overdrive pedal....

By the way - who makes the mortar crumbling pedal then...

my cab is a 15 X 8 inch i think its a svt and its by ampeg, i really want a 6X10 though, its really hard to work with my low end

hmmmm, these 'effects', do they do something in perticular?
I'm not much of an effect man. I get al the diffirent tones out of my ebs and 410 cab

the only time i used effects was in my last band's demo. during the intro our guitarist played some crazy high pitched crap that i wanted to drown out i did have a bass groove going but it wasnt enough so i busted out some distortion and flange and wah and did a 1 take overlay. its cool hearing 2 bass parts on top of eachother. you can check it out in the begining of this mp3: http://www.phatduckk.com/music/demo/Let the Fools Die.mp3

well dee
the hartke bass attack is more of a tone shapener. it makes my cab sound really nice, its also a pre amp, so if u want to add some boost at a certain point of the song u can. or atleast thats what i use it for.

Robert Keeley compressor pedal. It made the Peavey 115 imposter I use in church sound like and think that it is a real amp.
