Ableton/Live/UG/29 Audio Effect Reference/28 Pedal/01 Pedal Tips
- What comes before Pedal changes how it distorts. A Compressor first gives a more even result; a resonant, high-gain EQ or filter first gives a screaming distortion.
- Pick a kick with a long decay (such as Kit-Core 909 with decay raised), choose the Distortion type, turn on Sub and set Gain to taste.
- More whack: Mid Frequency fully right and Mid up. More thump: Bass up. Less air: Treble down.
- Fuzz, Gain 50%, Sub off; Bass and Mid at −100%, Mid Frequency to taste, Treble 100%; Output −20 dB. Then raise Dry/Wet from 0% until the drums fizz enough.
- Fuzz, Sub off, Bass all the way down, Treble 25%, Mid 100% with Mid Frequency fully right, Gain 100%.
- To warm a plain sub bass: Overdrive type, Sub on, Bass up, then raise Gain slowly; shape the mids with Mid.
