Title: Funk for Dessert - LowRider
Post by: eldanko on January 21, 2012, 03:19:43 AM
My bassist is just now getting into using effects... so I'm "helping" him  ;D

He's a huge Ben & Jerry's fan, so I surprised him with this artwork, which I think came out nice on the vanilla-flavored enclosure (PPP's "Almond").  The LowRider came together pretty easily!  Very clean design on this one... loving these designs with board mounted pots. 

I kept it stock instead of trying to increase the strength of the upper octave. Oddly enough, the upper octave control actually seems to be acting more like a filter or EQ, adding a sort of midrangeyness to the sound - which actually ended up being really useful when used with the bass!  Anyone else experience anything similar?

That's awesome looking!  I love the B&J style graphics.

I haven't really noticed the +1 acting that way on mine, but I haven't messed with it in a bit.

Thanks,

Andy

Thanks for the love friends! I've decided to keep the graphic for my personal build, but use a chocolate-flavored enclosure. :-)
