teddy-bonkers Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Does anyone have any good links to how-tos on how to recreate a reese bass sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theElevators Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 I did a quick search and there doesn't seem to be a canned reese bass sound for the Helix. I'm assuming you're doing it on bass guitar. It's all subjective, but part of the sound is the vibrato, sometimes detuning, sub-octave (harmonizer to lower the pitch), some kind of a chorus, and distortion. All of these ingredients are available in the Helix. For detuning, you can use any harmonizer and harmonize it in unison with a few cents flat. I have personally used this trick on guitar to sound like bagpipes. With bass, if you do the detuning trick, then it will naturally start to pulsate, so you won't even need the vibrato effect; and you can dial in the rate by fine-tuning the out of tune note. Here's the detuned trick on guitar linked below, if interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
