Iron Ether Xerograph vs FrantaBit vs Nimbus vidja

Post by behndy »

playing basically the same riff through different layerings and settings on the three of 'ems. tried to do one take so it's a tad messy. WOOT.

That thing the franta does where the low notes sound clean but the higher stuff sounds more crushed is awesome. Cool video!

lol. WOOF. MEOW. FIGHT!

Monkeh - it's a neat thing. even with the mix turned all the way up, the low end of the bass bleeds through in a really pleasant way. Franta's pretty ridic.

Really liking this, especially that Frantabit setting that you start with. I had one for a short time and never really clicked with it. I guess too much digging to get the good tones, or maybe I should have tried harder.

In any case I am happy with the Bugcrusher and hopefully the Malekko Bit that is on the way. I dig sample rate reduction a lot, but true bit crushing not so much. Franta has tons of possibilities though.

thanksorz Musey!

Mootz - yah. i'm looking forward to the Malekko Bit too. i've realized that i like both, but on bass sample rate reduction is WAY more useful for me than actual crushing of bits. and it looks like the Tiny Bit does sample rate not crushing.

Dude you wouldn't have a treble stick around the house somewhere? I would love to hear those three pedals together on guitar. Don't play bass myself, so while I can dig the sick sounds I can't relate them to my own rig (obviously). On the other hand, that's prolly good - I have too many pedals I want anyway.

No worries dude, I am ass at playing bass - they really are two totally different instruments. Shame that Taylor makes things that sound rad on both... = more wantz!
