Synth wah on make some noise?

Post by fuzzu »

Anyone know how to get the synth wah sound on Make Some Noise? Or how the BBs got it in the studio? Thanks for any good tips.

I think we've done this thread before... It was a Moog Prodigy through probably a Cry Baby and a preamp... :thumb:

Here is an article talking about the recording process...

An octave fuzz and wah pedal just might work. :poke:

EDIT: nvm

I don't know my synth terminology all that well, but it either sounds like a really tight envelope filter.

Or just a synth through a regular wah

Or a rhodes through a wah with some slight fuzz.

I'm not sure I'm qualified to comment on this post accurately, but I do love this vid.

Nobody ever likes the correct answer here... :)
We used quite a few analogue synths, like the Moog Prodigy for the keyboard bass in 'Make Some Noise' which was recorded through a pedal and an amp, but we also use soft synths quite a bit.

Ok, my answer was a bit douchey and not 100% correct. With the exception of the actual instrument used, its pretty obvious its a wah or envelope filter. If it wasn't for it being a synth, then just put an octave fuzz in front of the wah/filter. I wouldn't even bother with worrying about using a Moog Prodigy specifically, unless the OP already has one.

Sorry, thank god this is not a "what synth for Van Halen's Jump" thread :picard:

Thanks dude! Good info. :thumb:

I don't really mind seeing other cheaper alternatives though (using only pedals), and no, sadly, I don't own a Moog.
