lshobson Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Wondering if someone could help me create a Japandroids tone (they are essentially are doing what Local H did). I'd like to be able to turn the bass on and off. I'm assuming I need to create a separate signal path for the lower octave. Do you think the Helix can handle this without getting too warbly? I'll be running direct into a PA. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADBrown Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Do you have a sound example of the tone you're going for that you could share? A youtube clip works well. From what I gathered from your post, it sounds like you are trying to add an octave bass note below chords you are playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLF2007 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I have a patch like this that I jam with a drummer just for fun.. 2 separate paths from the same input. One path has a simple pitch down 1 octave that I turn the bass or guitar on and off with different snapshots and gain blocks. The bass output is 1/4" out to a bass amp. There are other modulation and fuzz things that I turn on and off too on both the guitar and bass channel. The XLR out is the guitar channel and that goes out to a FRFR speaker for the guitar. Sounds huge! You can just send both to a PA as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lshobson Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Thanks so much. This is exactly what I'm going for. Can you share that patch with me? As example, this gives you a pretty good idea. The bass kicks in about the 1:45 mark. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLF2007 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yeah, I'll upload a starting base template to Customtone. Adjust amp/effects and outputs etc. as you see fit. It will have a guitar kill and a bass kill switch ( Momentary- hold them down to keep whatever path off etc) you can change that to a latching on and off if you want. The volume pedal will adjust bass volume blend to the guitar tone. Very basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
