Hello Folks,
I recently bought a Brownie Classic (GFSdelivered to Australia at less than AUS$69) because I can't Overdrive my valve bass amp. I hope to find an acceptable substitute for a real od'd amp in this pedal. have a listen & let me know what you think sounds best. I'm using my preferred guitar, pick, PU settings etc.
Bruno Royal Artist semi acoustic on bridge pickup into the Brownie Classic which is run into a Marshall Superbass MkII (everything at 12 o'clock except vol) & then a marshall 4 x 12 cab mic'd with a Shure 57 pointing at the edge of the cone into a Focusrite Scalette 8I60.
This set up seems a little "dark" but will do for the test.
Oh, there are parts where I use a standard plectrum & others where I use a "fang" plectrum as the latter is a little brighter/more cutting just for contrast. I've attempted to announce all changes.
The Brownie has Gain, Tone & Volume controls as well as a three way switch that selects Comp (a scooped compressed sound) Power (mid boost plexi sound) & Open (unboosted Plexi). The Power setting is the preset for the Classic Rock & the Brown Sound. There's some crackle noise with some settings of the Brownie which I will learn to control once I'm used to the box.
Brownie:
Bypass
Classic Rock setting
Classic R w Comp
Classic R w Open
Brown Sound setting
Brown w more amp vol
Brown w Comp
Brown w Open
Classic R w fang
Brown Sound w fang
These are the other pedals I have that offer something not disimilar in case one of them sounds better - my ears can't tell.
Other pedals:
Clean gtr standard pick
Clean w fang
Behri Blues OverDrive
Behri BOD w fang
BOSS SDI
BOSS SDI w fang
Behri BassDI21
BDI21 w fang
Big Fluff no sust
Big Fluff w fang
Big Fluff w sustain
Big Fluff w sustain + fang
