    Amazing how Nathan can be on tour with Level 42 and in this video at the same time. He's mastered the art of Teleportation.

    Another great way to make your Bass sounds like a synth bass is. Fuzz + Filter pedal. Throw in an Octave pedal aswell.

    • @PushSueAside
      @PushSueAside Před 2 lety +2

      Especially a fuzz with a hard gate. Works a dream. Cheers

    • @cakenbolls442
      @cakenbolls442 Před 2 lety +4

      a chorus, a vibrato and a pedal that does unison sounds as well

  • @gravesplendour3481
    @gravesplendour3481 Před 2 lety +6

    A P-bass and a synth is a classic sound, I love it. My mind goes to Deacy and Flash era Queen and Scott Thunes on a mini moog. That Boss pedal was astonishing.

  • @Cobra4993
    @Cobra4993 Před 2 lety +5

    Wow, a synth pedal was something that I didn't know I needed. Very early in the video I realized I need to get one of these. At the end of the video, I realized I really want all of them.

  • @TraneFrancks
    @TraneFrancks Před 2 lety +2

    Always fun to find new tones. When I bought an EHX Bass Balls about 15 years ago, everything changed. Synth pedals just add to the fun.

  • @robertlewis5439

  • @Mark_Ocain
    @Mark_Ocain Před 2 lety +3

    They all sound pretty good but my hat goes off to Boss..they put together a synth pedal I wouldn't mind owning! Sure packs a punch and sounds great. I like the Electro harmonics as well... it has some classy retro patches.

  • @alfiebowers9745
    @alfiebowers9745 Před rokem

    Best demo of the EHX mono synth! Awesome playing, nice to focus on the cool sounds you can get without the expression pedal!

  • @ileutur6863
    @ileutur6863 Před 2 lety +6

    As much as I love making my bass sound like a synth, what's always missing is the punch that a real one has. Sure the tone is there but it always sounds just a bit weak, like it gas no body. Maybe its because I'm going through an amp instead of a full range PA?

    • @morphine0000
      @morphine0000 Před 2 lety +1

      That's part of the issue, yes, but also, keep in mind that almost certainly you can blend in an octave and/or the direct sound.

  • @wednesdays7791

    Thanks for doing this video, bass and synth tones go really well together

  • @deldia
    @deldia Před 2 lety +15

    These pedals don’t “track” so to speak. That’s why they are so effective. Mainly referring to the boss one. They are definitely performing a fast Fourier transform in real time and reshaping the peaks rather than trying to work out what notes you’re playing.

    • @simon_patterson
      @simon_patterson Před 2 lety +1

      I have an SY1 which I use with my guitar. It responds to not just the volume of the note but also whether I use a pick or fingers, or slightly palm mute the strings as well. But it is completely unaffected by which pick-up or even which guitar I use. So the sound is clearly 100% generated by the unit. It's an amazing device.

    • @deldia
      @deldia Před 2 lety +2

      @@simon_patterson only because the overtones from the different pickups are ignored by the device.

  • @yanossnicklefritz7064
    @yanossnicklefritz7064 Před 2 lety +1

    It's cool to synth a bass. It's an important fill instrument, but can be kind of boring at times. These pedals sound pretty cool for those that use pedals. I would be highly interested in an actual synth pickup bass and software to modulate it in a dedicated format. I do with my processors and plugins now when working on material and tracking, but it would be cool for a company to take it to the extreme.

  • @davidtalkovic9369

    They sound awesome, but a Synth's best friends are Reverb & Delay. Hope you try that next time :)

    @StillLivinginthewoods Před 2 lety

    Should have used a Source Audio C4 Synth instead of the Keeley.
    The analog Keeley just can't keep up with the digital units, you really have to limit your playing range to keep it tracking.

  • @realcookies

    @christopherstacey1355 Před rokem +1

    All thats great but you need two of you to get the sounds your producing, how can a Bass player on his own do all that while he🥵/she is playing Hmmmmmmmm!!!

  • @jejmoss11
    @jejmoss11 Před 2 lety

    These effects do show off bass player skills rather than being hidden behind other instruments.

  • @ricksigurdson2016
    @ricksigurdson2016 Před 2 lety

    All I want for pedals on bass are a clean boost and a drive that gives me dirt to fuzz. Plus analog delay. Currently its a Solidgold soundlabs gen1 superduper boost and drive and a BBE two timer.
    Stil it sounds cool just cant see using it for bass or guitar. That's what the Roland is for.
    Plus the next pedal I buy will be a Headrush unit.

  • @erstwhilerambler
    @erstwhilerambler Před rokem +1

    I see that I’m in the minority here, but I found it pretty annoying that the dude in the hat (Pete?) kept playing around with knobs in a way that no player would ever do - or even be able to do - while actually playing a song. I understand it’s fun, but it’s impractical to the point that I find it distracting and frustrating. I want to know how the pedal functions for a working musician.
