Running full range thru the pedal can make things indistinct and blurry.but then that was part of the charm of that 80s sound. If you are biamping, then running a chorus (any kind of chorus pedal) to the HFs will give a neat effect on the highs while leaving the lows alone. With the depth turned down I still get the "shimmer" of the chorus-y effect, but with out the blurrines (since trem is amplitude modualtion and chorus being a frequency modulation).but that blurriness can be a desirable effect unto itself. In short, the cheaper the pedal.the blurrier the note (even with a lot of "bass specific" chorus pedals.).įor modulation effects, I use a tremolo pedal(Demeter Tremulator). This allows to note to stay more focused, as the chorus effect can create a "blurring" of the tone (a common complaint of live chorus use to get that 80s sound).Ī lot of makers tack on "bass specific" monikers as merely a selling point. Most "Bass Chorus" pedals use a LP filter to allow the fundalmental, and lower freqs to pass thru without being "swirled". Right? (Waiting for Alex to blow big holes in this theory because I'm ignoring non-fundamental frequencies again. If you make the cutoff somewhere just below 84 Hz, then you're just affecting "guitar" frequencies, so there should be no worry about using a guitar FX. Send low frequencies to the amp unaffected, and high frequencies affected. She's just using straight A/B splitters, but there's no reason you couldn't use some sort of crossover instead. To get back to Picker's point, if the main concern is just to leave lower frequencies unaffected, then perhaps all that is needed is a setup like (Clatter) Amy's. OTOH, why would a bass pedal want to use a HF cutoff? It seems logical that bass pedals would be more universal, although I wouldn't just assume this. Other than that, as long as there isn't a LF blocking cap in the pedal, why wouldn't it work for bass? (It might be desireable to block 60 cycle hum, since a guitar doesn't go this low, but a bass goes down to 42 Hz.) (Another peave is that bass pedals were slow to come to market, and there's not as many choices.) Hence the availability and popularity of bass EQ pedals. :rolleyes:įor something like EQ, yeah, it makes sense that a guitar pedal isn't going to address the lower frequencies that a bass guitar generates. They can be the exact same razor as a men's razor, but it comes in pink and has feminine-friendly packaging. I've always wondered if bass FX were more of a marketing ploy. I think this was more a problem of being cheap than being a bass FX. It wasn't too bad, although being all digital (and did I mention cheap?) it didn't sound as nice as higher-quality analog guitar FX, especially the distortion.
From now on, though, I'll probably record dry and add chorus ITB like everyone else, since it's not a high-quality FX box.įWIW, I've run my guitars through my bass FX. It's worked well enough in practice (through a stereo rig, no less) and I've even recorded some wet signals with it. I use a (cheap) multi-effect box for bass for chorus. Picker, is there a separate knob that allows you to adjust the cutoff frequency for the chorus? Or is it fixed?
Well, this seems like the most informed answer thus far.

that is a big plus for bass chorusing, believe me.
I use a Boss bass chorus, because it allows you to keep the chorus effect off of the low frequencies, which keep it from getting muddy.
