![]() It looks like he uses an octave pedal too sometimes, but that's less important to this particular sound. The RBI emulates tube distortion, so that likely plays a part in his overdriven tone. So he is probably just using his amp's or the Tech 21 RBI's built-in distortion on this song. "sansamp rb1 rack effect" most closely matches the Tech 21 Sansamp RBI Rackmount Bass Tube Amp Emulator. Kevin Baird replies: "gallien and kreuger 1001 head, ampeg 4x10HE, sansamp rb1 rack effect and an mxr bass octave pedal." In November 2011, on Twitter a fan asks Kevin Baird: ".a hugh fan of TDCC and your bass lines,just wanna know which pedals do u use to get that cool synthy sound :)" Some specific info on his bass tone and gear: link 1, link 2 You can probably get close with one amp by keeping the "fuzz" or "gain" levels at or below 50% on your pedal and keep the "tone" knob low so it doesn't kill the lower frequencies. This way you can hear the attack and the "thump" of the clean bass and still get the fuzz on top. Most of the fuzz pedals I have used with bass tend to kill some of the low end, so to replicate this track I would use one amp for the clean bass signal and one amp running a distorted or fuzz effect. Edit: Looking at live videos, it seems he does use a synth, but I still think you can replicate this with a bass guitar + distortion/fuzz Also since it's a rock band with a bassist it might not be a synth part. To me it sounds like a bass guitar with distortion or a fuzz effect. ![]()
