How To Sound Like Thundercat using a Zoom B1xFour

[@ampthebassplayer]

This is one I've wanted to do for a very long time and I'm really happy to finally have it done so I can share this with you guys! Apologies for the sick voice; I finally caught Covid last week and I'm still recovering, but feeling better every day. Who do you want to see next on How To Sound Like?

[@BullyThaKidd]

Fieldy from korn

[@MisterMcStrat]

Great videos! Have you done dUg Pinnick from King's X? If not, that would be really cool.

[@myampgoes2twelve]

I would like you to find a way to recreate this bassists sound: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3yyZpmjbt2NodU

[@maxbarrett6625]

tbh when I saw that you were doing Thundercat I was like "pshht... goodluck!" But you clearly did your homework, you nailed it. Great work!

[@prariedoggin]

Not only did you rewatch your mobile phone concert footage, you even used it to make something positive (this video). Congratulations Bass Jesus, you're one in a million, or maybe even rarer! :D

[@ampthebassplayer]

I was the only one there not filming vertical video lol

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

Nice video 👌🏿 That Yamaha sounds incredible in Passive mode with effects bypassed 🙌🏿 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

[@LowEndLobster]

I thought he got that tone using the dragon ball do-rag. Great vid!

[@ampthebassplayer]

Did I tie it right? Lemme smash in my durag!

[@TheGumpec]

Man your videos are FIIIRE! Great work :) This Zoom multi-effect really is powerful!

[@ampthebassplayer]

Thank you! I’m glad these videos are helping people!

[@julietteorain9892]

Yay a new zoom b1xfour tutorial ! Thanks those are great !

[@SisterRose]

The default bass autowah is actually kind of disappointing. I agree the Ztron is probably the coolest sounding. I think I use the Smallstone as a phaser, sounds decent on bass. Also, the Monopitch is closer to the Digitech Whammy in terms of how it works. It's also possible to Sideload the Polyshift from the G11 if you want a higher quality polyphonic pitchshifter, look up muntwell's zt2 guide. I actually have a G1xFour loaded with Bass stuff.

[@Itsruffyouknow]

Maybe this is a dumb question but... It's possible to re-create this sound on DAW like Ableton? it could awesome on my beats!

[@ItalianStalianish]

Damn good video bro. I was shocked to see it only had 7k view. I’m sure you’ll be up in the realm of music KZbinrs in no time. Good job 👍🏻

[@EatingThread]

Please do Sam Wilkes next!!

[@barryandrian6228]

Can i get henrik linder tone?

[@cabaretdelux]

Just need more of this kind of video... maybe how to sound like john entwistle with the zoom b1xfour😁cheers🥂

[@drewdemers2438]

could you do a video on how to sound like wyatt shears from the garden please?

[@stefanuggets_music]

Also what's a ZOOM pedal? where can i get one or learn more about it?

[@Mr_Black15]

What is the url of the soundlab software

[@TheMusicalMoor]

Can you give me your settings on each effect for the thundercat sound

[@fernantasticart]

Love this! Just got a zoom and I see you going from it into the Scarlett in mono, is it ever worth coming out of the zoom on stereo? I can't tell if I should upgrade my audio interface for just this reason.

[@ampthebassplayer]

In my opinion, most stereo options are pure vanity. There’s something to be said for signal splitting (layering a dry and wet signal together for example) but stereo is rarely worth the hassle, even for guitar. I’m sure the interface you already have will be just fine.

[@chimichurritastee497]

Good day! AMP, please tell me, can I unite two or more effects on this device? Thanks bruh

[@ampthebassplayer]

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by unite. You can make patches that have up to 5 effects and have them all on at the same time. Does that answer your question?

[@chimichurritastee497]

@@ampthebassplayer yeah maaan, thanks U

[@redeyebloom]

My question is when are you coming out with an online course for only $500 USD? Lol 🦈

[@ampthebassplayer]

You won’t believe how easy learning bass is with my “Become a Bass God” course! Learn everything from slapping to popping in just 12 easy payments of $200 each! Don’t wait! Limited time offer! Give me money! You know you want to! Act now! Sacrifice your pet fish! What!

[@benquadinaros5069]

Why can't I find half of this stuff?

[@chevchelios5668]

Man thanks!!!!

[@josuesoto5340]

Nice vid question just got pedal and try to get more effect on the computer download guitar lab but it doesn't connect to my pedal I'm I doing something wrong

[@ampthebassplayer]

I had to try a few different cables to find one that worked. Not all USB cables are created equal.

[@josuesoto5340]

@AMP oh ok I try it out thanks

Heeeyyy how is the pitch shifter with chords???

[@ampthebassplayer]

Not great lol

[@Automatischroom]

Is it possible to make this sound with zoom ms60b or zoom B2 four?

[@ampthebassplayer]

Probably.

[@douglasdiggins8296]

What about the actual EQ on the bass?

[@coleemmersonhallman5329]

you totally had it, but then you lost me at the whammy! it sounded too robot to my ears, maybe a different mix level or position in the chain? just my thoughts :)

[@ampthebassplayer]

I tested the pitch shifter at every position and this is as good as it gets! You also have to remember that this is $100 pedal competing against tens of thousands of dollars of gear, so even getting close is pretty acceptable IMO.

[@coleemmersonhallman5329]

@@ampthebassplayer yea tru that

[@mansosound]

Wow, not sure about that last pitch thingy lol 😅

[@ryanoleary1686]

I know that this is probably pretty easy but i cannot find anything that sounds like him. Krist noveselic

[@jmwreck]

I would start with the squeak od/dist, it's an emulation of a rat

[@richardphysician5640]

The question is, do I DESERVE to sound like a Thundercat? I'm disappointed by my own answer.

[@ampthebassplayer]

Of course you deserve to sound like Thundercat! You earn the skill to play like him though.

[@IanPeters1966]

Enjoying the videos how about Victor Wooten

[@MrJoeAkuma]

Is it possible to replicate this with a Zoom b1on??? Great video btw, to me it sounded pretty darn close to Thundercat. Thanks bass Jesus!

[@ampthebassplayer]

I’m not super familiar with the B1on, but I’m sure that if you use similar effects it should absolutely be possible.

[@idickman]

I would love to hear more of that Yamaha with the flatwounds on it! That sounds incredible even without any effects or amp/cab simulation. Did you go through the bridge or through the body with those strings? Also, hope you're feeling better.

[@ampthebassplayer]

I have really good news for you: I have a video 90% done with more of the Yamaha. I string through the body, but I’m not sure how much it matters. And thanks! I’m feeling back to 100%!
