Pedals and Effects: Downer by Malekko Heavy Industry

[@kevmac1230]

Please get well Juan,we miss you and have you in our prayers.The bass world needs you and crazy FX!

[@lesterfalcon1350]

0:40 It's not waveform, but wave folder. Wave form would imply a wavefrom such as a square wave is use to modulate in the input. Wave folding is really cool, big in west coast synthesis. When you saturate a signal it's like it flattens above the threshold, making it more into a square wave, but when you fold it, you invert (fold) the wave above the threshold below the threshold, creating a whole set of interesting harmonics.

I'd love to see these two jamming with Greg Saunier!

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

P&E, the people have spoken. Make this a thing.

[@SuburbanBehemoth]

Sounds amazing. Happy to see you getting better.

[@imdrecordings]

Like a Blue Box you can control!!! AWESOME!! They grabbed all the good parts.

[@youngbugs]

Sounds sick! There's a small amount of ringing on the talking mic.

[@JohnDoe-dh8xc]

For some reason it reminds me of a synth Sun Ra used at one point

[@shoseinen]

I use a Brassmaster emulation with the Pod X3, i love it

[@Guitarisforgrins]

I think the guitar could have used some of that LPF action.

[@LOCKJAWxHC]

Do the Charlie foxtrot

[@chemosis8259]

i here quite a few pedals emerging nowdays that sound very similar to the crowther audio prunes and custard. the crowther audio has that analog modular fm or wavefolder sound.

I’m loving the nordymute. I got mine last weekend

[@EmptyDomoKanti99]

what’s the bass next to the Rickenbacker in the intro? i think it’s a Gretsch due to the headstock, but i could be extremely wrong

[@brianmcbride6874]

thank you

[@johnshideler5244]

This is definitely one that I should pick up. I just wish that they would rerelease the germanium B:ASSMASTER…

[@bryanstancil2216]

check out Latent Lemon Audio in the UK. makes a spot on germ B:ASSMASTER. and a gnarly harmonic percolator.

[@justindrewlslow]

So the blend knob controls the octave?! Mind blown. Time to be dangerous.

[@Shivabraxus108]

anyone know if this works with a bass with active preamp?

[@simaojoseph]

Shivabraxus108 definitely not.

[@Shivabraxus108]

Astronaut Thanks man :-)

[@academiac9]

Why wouldn’t it work with an active bass?

[@Rogerthat144]

@the3-dkiller1 a year late, but hey, this is for anyone still wondering... if this is anything like the Malekko Scrutator: about 9 o'clock om the pre-amp is the regular volume output (but beefed up, as it is a very nice pre). I use my Scrutator with keyboards and synths with no issues whatsoever, so my guess is it'll probably be fine with an active bass.

[@conky7819]

Gotta be honest, I'm fuckin loving the sounds of this pedal but I'd probably go for the Scrutator first, this dude second. Granted I'd still get em both! And the Diabolik, too...

[@joerogers5704]

That sounds nuts on the fretless bass!

[@zachwarner1726]

Juan, you are the shit.

[@statixxxmetal1243]

This is some very good shit....amazing!!

[@SuburbanBehemoth]

I LOVE MY NORDYMUTE!

[@Poppaneedsanap]

[@QuarrelsomeLocalOaf]

[@spaghettispaceguitar4752]

Rainbow Machine Chorus is the bees knees.

[@NikkoWhitworth]

czeque datt noardee moot

[@czechchap]

Jmj?

[@academiac9]

Robin Smith They are referring to Justin Meldal Johnsen he is a producer and was/is a bass player known for his work with Beck and Nine Inch Nails among others.

[@waltersmetak]

Bit of a waste from Malekko - I would have their Scrutator over this without a doubt!

[@Spectralhyena]

Disgusting. In the best possible way

[@That_Idiot_Bass_Player]

Doombox.
