Mid Gain Bass VI Dirt?

BoatRich · Post by **BoatRich** » Tue Dec 06, 2016 1:16 am

I've been using a Peavey Butcher on the high gain input for most of my dirt sounds lately, but I need cleans more often so... I'm looking for a low to medium gain distortion to push the low gain as an almost always on and be boosted with a Blower Box or possibly an Elements if I end up picking one up.

I was thinking a Klone of some kind? Posssibly a DOD BiFet? Playing mostly hardcore and weirder heavy stuff with a strong hint of gaze, drone, and ambience. I kinda loved my Fuck for this and I'm wondering if the Mini will do the same? Every demo I've watched it sounds a lot fuzzier. Help me out here.

I was going to suggest a Fuck

The Mini can sound fuzzier because of the bias control. The crackle feature of the Fuck is basically the bias of the circuit being modulated by your picking strength; where as with the Mini, you set the bias with a pot for the amount of scuzziness you want all the time. I believe the bias control set around 2 o'clock on the Mini is pretty close to how the Fuck is set stock.

You seem pretty fixated on a fuck/mini but I just love the driving notion on the VI. But you've already had on right?

I've got a Fredrick Zombie Klone if you're interested. But, I think the Mini sounds better with bass.

Get the mini. I prefer the Mini to the FUck

I clearly need to try a Mini again. Didn't like it as much as the Fuck at the time.

I've had one a couple of times, it doesn't seem to love high output pickups. I just know I liked the Fuck a lot but never used the crackle in a band setting

Get two Minis.

This does seem reasonable... already considering two bitquests

Things are better in pairs.

Anyone use a Mini for heavy shit? I know it'll handle the more sparkly side of things really well

Back when I had my mini I preferred it for the heavy more so than the sparkly. I used a fuck for the lighter and the mini to bring the meat.

Mini, fuck, driving notion are all great options. I use the fuck and driving notion for most of my VI dirt.
