EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
This will mostly appeal to DoS, but all input is appreciated.
I'm a long way off achieving this, but basically, if I was to split my signal in two and run one side of a low tuned guitar into a bass setup attempting to replicate (attempting is the key word here, not succeeding) the Conference of the Birds tone, and the other side into a guitar amp, how should I eq the guitar so that it all sounds like one massive wall of awesome, not two colliding walls of meh?
In an ideal world it'd be great to get as close as possible to sounding like two instruments playing as one.
I dream big dreams, I know.
I am going to go the seperate pedals/sounds into each input route.
Was thinking Ape Blaster or this Tyrant I just got into the bass side for that nice cutting fuzz, no idea about guitar. Should I really be looking at a 250?
Recommendations?

Re: EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
So, this thread has almost nothing to do with Dave Holland or Persian mysticism?
This's about you trying to sound like Om?

In that case, I'll have to get back to you.

Re: EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
Maybe try super short delay into one of your two lines. Also, a parametric eq helps a lot here. As you can have the two amps over accentuate the same frequencies, making it sound like shit.

Re: EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
Mostly yes, it is about me sounding like Om, or even a one man Sleep.
Or a two man Om with a guitar that fuzzes out.
Persian mysticism is totally relevant here.
Inc: I like that slight delay idea that's pretty cool. Para EQing may have to be a definite thing here. Hoping to get a lot solved between using different amp eqs and diets, though.

Re: EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
I remember there being some old acoustic bass heads that had a ten band eqs, they were cheap and announced pretty killer.

Re: EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
If things pan out the way they should I'm actually waiting on a Sunn Concert Bass, but if that falls through that sounds like a rad option too.
I also really dug the prospect of Kbit's old GK he posted recently. But we'll see.

Re: EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
I think one of the most important things is making sure the amps are in phase with each other.

Re: EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
Yeah I'm not sure if I'm gonna need a rack power filter/conditioner type of deal that does this (I think Furhman does one?) or if I'll do it before the amps on an aby splitter.
Options.

You need something that does something like this:

I don't know what that is but I'll bet it looks rad with 3D glasses on.

Re: EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
It's a Radial Phazer. Not sure it's exactly what you want, but hopefully someone who knows what they're talking about will come in here and tell you.

Re: EQing. Conference of the Fuzz.
Well, I've read this edition:

I found the translation a little lacking though. (It's a bit clunky.) I'd like to read a different version.
Obviously, as Persian mystical poetry goes, everybody loves Rumi (maybe he was the Persian version of Raymond?). I also love Hafiz and Al-Hallaj.
