Hey everybody!
I'm a brand new noob out here, love the site and all you passionate and crazy dudes.
It's Xmas, and all I can think of it's how to get a bigger sound. I play bass in a really dirty and annoying brand of hardcore, wich means superfast grinding riffs and eye-balls-out doomy parts. But every single time I find some cool settings out I have to choose between a very dirty-fuzzy sound (that decapitates the low end) or a kind-boring tune surely more useful in the mix.
I am from north-Italy and I am aware that probably I just need to move in US where I can easily get some super-cool boxes like Dwarfcraft/Fuzzrocious/Earthquaker Devides and soooo... but I've been through a lot of different pedals and amps and never actually get the right combination between this two different sounds I need.

My only present for xmas was an idea:
My head it's a Traynor YBA 200-2, with two different channels (passive/active -6db). I've currently sold all the ungratifying pedals and I just kept my Tech 21 Sansamp Bass D.I., which provides me with two different outputs (normal and parallel output)...soooo
My idea is to get some big and full-low sound out of the Sansamp and send it to the active-imput, and at the same time find some evil distorted/fuzzy tone by putting a cool Overdrive/Fuzz box (and maybe an EQ if needed) after the bypassed output and send it to the passive channel.
In this scenario I would have two different sounds (of course to be put togheter in a right/reasonable/functional way) at the same time, in my amp.

Am I simply too stupid? Or just not noticing some evident issue? Am I gonna burn the whole thing down? Am I gonna make my tubes explode?
I'm a bit scared of trying this out, because I am poor and I need my gear,so can somebody please stop me? hehehe
Or this might work?

Sorry for bothering you all and for the random use of the English language.
Happy Holidays anyway...

My main concern would be that at times, two inputs are either/or and you can't actually use both maybe that's not the case here, don't know them Traynors at all

by the way welcome, fellow eurotrash... show us your music by the way, sounds cool

Uh yeah, gotta find that out too I guess. I'm away now but I'll check that in a few days.
I play in Discomfort, we're 1 year old but luckily we have a bouce of tours planned ahead in our very next future.
Here's the bandcamp, you can download the filth for free. We did the whole recording process and I'm pretty fine with my bass tune. But now I just need to play something huge as godzilla's ballsack hehehe

Oh man, i'd totally go to your show pretty cool

I think the best solution would be something with a Blend knob to keep a part of your sound uneffected and therefore keeping the bass and stuff... What's your budget? First thing that comes to mind is Dr. Scientist Elements, can be had for decent prices used from America (mine was 180ish shipped i think), it has a full (very effective) EQ and numerous options to shape your sound... plus a clean blend (controllable by an expression pedal)

But to be honest, I hate Blend knobs... so my main point is that the Elements can be set to not cut your bass and sound amazing on bass even with 100% wet signal I've recorded bass for many of my tracks through it by now and it always delivered

Thanks mate! I love to play with my dudes hehe

I have my Sansamp and it offers me the Blend knob and it doesn't help that much. As I said I've tried a full container of different stompboxes (except very rare ones like eau claire thunder, demon king/rat tail, wren & cuff tall font russian...) and never actually had the chance to reach what I'm looking for.

I feel that I need something like two totally different but combined sounds. I can't affor a second amp/cab system and anyway I wouldn't have the room in the van for touring with it...

Here it's an example of something I would love to sound like, but live I mean, with both the full-range and the dirt;

Ok
