Definitly they don't think in us ???? Helix has a lot of more options
On behalf of all fractal using guitar players who slide over to bass when necessary, let me just say god bless you for this tutorial!
the M-Comp and Filter, Wow! I think this is also applicable to acoustic guitars!
Very, very nice! Thanks for sharing!
Sweet, Alex. This is great. I've been using a Tom Hamilton Gift Of Tone preset from Fractal. It's pretty good but this will open some doors. I have quite a few bass IRs, some free some paid, that should fit in nicely with your tips for dialing in some very usable bass tones.
Hows the tone of this one in live setting
Do
You recommend it that the analog or other competitors such as Helix and Quad Cortex?
How does the FM3 compare to the Zoom B3?
Nice walk through Alex! My only comment is the order you have things in your chain, especially for live players. Personally I put my compression at the beginning of the chain, to even out the unevenness from finger play style, versus slap, etc., it could be argued this could go at the end, but this is where I put mine. I also notice you have output 1 and output 2 in use. I have something similar, where output 1 goes to front of house, and output 2 goes to my bass amp on stage. With this setup, I have my bass amp and cabinet in the fractal toward the end of the chain and split the signal right before the amp/cab. This way I have my fractal amp/cab going to FOH and my effects only going out to my stage amp/cab. I dont want to run my signal through the fractal amp/cab and then run this into another real amp and cab, It just muddy's the song way too much.
thanks for the walk, you make some great points!
Could we upload Bass IR amps to the fractal?
Really nice video/preset! Would it be possible so put the distortion also in parallel like the chorus and the reverb? So you can keep the fundamental on another path and add compressor to the clean path?
You're one of the very few actually making things for bass on the fractal. Thank you!
Downloaded but preset is just comes up as FRACTAL BASS … no bass 2 like in video so do not have the other set of Citrus,FAS bass, Porta… And you have it set up so you have to have your Editor open to control it? Not ungrateful. Maybe am wrong?
Very nice!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You have a great ear for Bass tones. One idea for content would be to match some of these awesome Bass Tones with Drums vsts, Machines, or Samples. I suspect your ear for great Drum sounds is just as good :). Cheers.
really was not expecting to hear that Mask Machine riff in the drive section haha caught me off guard. Great video by the way. Have you had any experience with other modelers on bass? like the Helix, Quad Cortex, or Kemper?
Very well done – thank you! Love the Fractalverse. I'm a guitar player – have a bass…I'm going for it now..gonna put it on and connect to my FM3. Yee-hah!
Thank you bro
Thanks Alex, they sound great. I put them all together in an AXE-FX 3 preset if you want it I can post it to my Axechange. It has full Alex Maiers credit in it.
Wanted to comment to say this was very helpful and THANK YOU!
Hi Great video thanks do you have the preset available pls let me know thnx
Man, this is the best bass video for fractal out there. Thank you so much.
Damn! I search every week for Fractal bass stuff. Just started watching. Let’s hope this video is more than some crazy metal patch ????
