Description

Edit description

Are you ready for the dirtiest, the filthiest, the grimiest and the absolutely heaviest bass distortion of all times? This is the box that the Devil made me build. Oh yeah, Satan is a bass player! This stompbox from hell aptly named “Black Magic” will not, as most bass distortions do, totally destroy your Low-end sound but in fact raises it to the point of insanity! It wil transform your little shoebox amp into an infernal legion of Ampeg 8×10 growlers that will empty your bowels and shake off your skin!

This ain’t about pickin’ daisies and puppy love… This is dangerous shit!!!

For achieving a similar aggressive tone, settings on the Darkglass Microtubes include era at 9, blend at 3, and adjusting drive for a washed-out effect.

To maintain a sharp tone similar to Oliveri's, use newish strings and play hard with a pick right behind the P pickup.

Picture taken at the mondo generator show in Cagliari on 20/09/2016, this was nick's pedalboard, featuring a boss hyperfuzz 2 constantly on duty, and a Dr.No Black Magic Bass Distortion only to boost some solos and general feedback.
