Re: [Logic_Cafe] bass effect question

2009-01-26 by The Drop

Hello Mike,
I had to do this live recently.
I wanted a long sustain, and a slower attack than even a plucked  
fretless bass.

I played my fretless Jerry Bix and tried both a volume pedal and a  
Boss effects pedal I was leant by a guitarist friend that was  
effectively a slow opening gate, that "bowed" the note in. Like  
pulling the volume knob up on a bass after plucking the note, only  
automated.
In the end I went with a Boss compressor followed by the volume pedal  
as it was more controllable.

I can't recall the name of the Boss pedal, but I think it was  
something obtuse like "Slow Gear" !
