1st or 2nd Micro-BR Tune: Part I

[Ferryman_1957]

Another great fun piece, but too short. I love that bass sound - do you recall what you did to get it?

Cheers,

Thank you, all, for your kind words.

Second or third comment between these sibling posts about the bass tone, so I'll take a minute.

Bass was from a my super cheapo Squier Strat through a Digitech Expression Factory.  I dropped the Whammy part of the pedal down an octave, removed the original signal, and put it through the first (tweaked) guitar preset on the Micro-BR.  As with most (all?) bass simulators, you can only play single notes, and you must be pretty clean.

I had an A/DA Flanger lying about, and I thought I would sell it, pocket part of the money, and purchase the Expression Factory, which has a decent A/DA flanger emulator in it.  Well, I bought the new pedal but never quite let go of the old one (G.A.S. to the Nth degree).  One of these days, I'll pop that flanger up on Ebay.

For those interested, the Expression Factory is a metal foot pedal that is too non-intuitive to use live (in my opinion anyway) but has some great sounds built in.

It has emulations of the following distortion/overdrive boxes: Ibanez TS-9, a DOD Overdrive/Preamp 250, a Boss DS-1, a Pro Co Rat, a Boss Metal Zone, DigiTech Metal Master, and a Big Muff Pi.

It also has emulations of the following effects: Dunlop Cry Baby, Vox Clyde McCoy Wah, a DigiTech XP300 Space Station Synth Swell, DigiTech Whammy, Unicord Uni-Vibe, Leslie 147 rotary speaker, and an A/DA Flanger.  Its flanger sound can be heard on the lead here: https://songcrafters.org/community/micro-br-b65/1st-or-2nd-micro-br-tune-part-ii-t3875/0/.

It also works as a volume pedal. 

However, the unit requires AC, so I invested in the little brown Boss octave pedal that runs on batteries.  When I travel, I take the BR, the Kaossilator, and the octave pedal, and I'm good to go.  I found this blast from the past where I was using the Boss pedal: https://songcrafters.org/community/post-your-work/a-few-experiments-that-may-benefit-other-brers/msg3345/#msg3345.  I love the damn thing.

(Sigh) Boys and their toys...

Peace.
