Effects : MXR M80 Bass DI, Fulltone Bass-Drive MOSFET, Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff, Whirlwind A/B Box, Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner

"I run the DI, with distortion as my primary tone, into the SVT. I've also been using Matt's Metal Muff to get a crazy, overdriven sound. We like the heaviness of tuning down two steps to CFBbEb."
