Just bought an ME-50B

[Salvation]

I love the thing I just need some hints to get the sound I want. I'm after a really heavy distortion. I know I could experiment more, but a quick hint would be helpful.

lots of gain....


and it doesn't exist without pics

Set it to Metal,
Drive/sens-half
Tone/cutoff-full
D.level/resonance-full
E.level-half

And use the expression pedal and put on like...quater wah, just to cut off a little bit of the buzz

:eek:

Actually i just use the hi-band drive now and put everything on full, an octave down and it sounds pretty fat.

I want a gt-6b :(

gt6b's are like a whooole new unit! It works nothing like the me50-b... and I'm actually still pretty confused by it :p

I'm after the bass sound used in Fear Factory and Type O Negative. I must be using this thing wrong.

I may get myself one of those babies for my birthday.
Damn september being at the end of the year.

Is it completley worth the £160 or whatever?

Perhaps people could post their favourite combinations of settings. So we can see its full potential.

The start (and the middle part too) of "Dreams [Escape]" uses a combination of compression, slow gear, distortion, and delay. I don't remember the exact settings, because I saved it in the memory bank after I made it, but didn't write anything down.

I had another one which i thought was much better, but i wasnt recording it at the time.

And another reason why im better than Morrello- because ive got 2 output jacks i can whammy feedback and still have a constant sound :cool: So i usually end up using the cable as a pick.

Awesome! I'm still trying to find a mellow distortion. Cause the sound can be a bit harsh. I'd also like a nice chorus effect.

TRy using the hi-band drive insted of the metal, that makes it softer

[Sade]

This has nothing to do with the contemporary topic of the thread, but...

I've played around alot with the big Boss multi-effects lately, and I've got to admit, they wern't too shabby at all. Some neat sounds to be found within.

Cool, like a silencer for distortion.
