Fender Jazz Special played through a DigiTech Drop. The bass line is looped, and starts off in standard tuning with the pedal disengaged. Each time the loop repeats it is dropped one semitone, or a half step. The final loop is the dry+octave setting.

Electric Bass through The Drop

Electric bass through DigiTech Polara

Title says it all. To achieve this tone, set your distortion at 1 oclock, depth at 2, low outer knob at 11, inner at 1, mid outer at 11, inner at 8, high outer at 10, inner at 2

Attempt to create a cranked all tube bass amp tone with the Boneshaker

Level set to 10 oclock, and range set to 1 oclock, resulting in a "blooming" effect on the low end after the note is plucked. This pedal responds a little differently to different pickups and playing styles, and as a result you might need to mess with your settings a bit to achieve the same sound.

Bass bloom with 440 Envelope Filter

Since the DOD Boneshaker responds to volume changes, putting it after a DOD Bifet Boost in a signal chain makes for an awesome extra level of overdrive.

Bifet Boost and Boneshaker

This is Tom Cram using the Boneshaker as an overdrive to get a crunchy high gain tone. Distortion at 3 o'clock. high and low at 1 o'clock, mid at 11 o'clock.  This is with a JA90 Telecaster with Duncan P100's.

Carcosa Fuzz, Drone and Chords

Based upon my first clip there were people worried that the Carcosa was too raw and couldn't sound smooth, this clip is to show that the Carcosa has a smooth side.

Carcosa Single Notes

I was asked if the Carcosa can cop a certain tone and riff, the answer is yes, yes it can...

Carcosa Big Phat Riff

Hagstrom Swede M > Carcosa > Vox AC15 Top Boost Channel

On this track I go through the bias settings at different gain ranges.  This gives and idea of some of the Carcosa's flexibility, but there is a LOT of interaction between the BEFORE and AFTER that isn't shown.  I'll try and figure out how to hit that in an upcoming demo.

Carcosa low to high settings for both gain and bias

Clip showing how the Carcosa handles having a buffer in front of it.  You can hear a slight change in high-frequency detail with the buffer engaged, but it is easily compensated for with the Hi-Cut control.

Fender Jazz Special (P-Pickup) > FreqOut > CabDryVR (1x15).  I have the FreqOut set to Nat Low, and at the end you can hear it shift from one feedback frequency to another - kinda cool!

FreqOut Gain @ 11:30, Onset @ 1:30 set to latching so it is always on, that way I just hold a chord and it goes into feedback automagically.

FreqOut with Chords

In this clip I'm throwing some odd chords and chromatic runs at the FreqOut, I'm also doing some slow full-step bends to show how the FreqOut tracks.

Jonni compares 9v vs 12v operation on the DOD Gunslinger.  He tries three different gain ranges Low/Med/High.  You can really hear a difference on the Medium and High gain ranges.  The increased headroom also has a more "open" feel.

DOD Rubberneck Analog Delay set clean with a little bass rolloff (tilt EQ set to ~2:00) and slight modulation.  The little bit of grit is provided by the DOD Looking Glass.

Fender JA90 > DOD Looking Glass (Low-Gain) > DOD Rubberneck > DigiTech CabDryVR (Greenback 4x12)

Rubberneck Clean w/Bass Rolloff

Here is a demo of the Rubberneck with a long delay time tapped in.  I have the tone set to ~1:30, no gain, no modulation, and I increase the repeats from 1 to oscillation.  There is also some Rubbernecking at the end as well as switches between oscillation on the knob and on the switch.

Rubberneck Long Delay Time

Long Delay time, 4-ish repeats, light modulation, tone control at maximum (for full bass rolloff)

Rubberneck Delay with modulation and bass rolloff

This is showing how the DOD Rubberneck Analog Delay's Momentary Oscillation footswitch can control runaway oscillation with high repeats and high gain settings.  Turning down the Knob/LED all the way counter-clockwise kills all regen, and anywhere from there to noon, it makes it fade-out.
