The M9 is handling A LOT of duties… detune, pitch shift, pitch vibrato, ring mod, tap delays… a ton of the stuff on these EP’s has a lot to do with the M9… then there is fun post stuff with hardware and plugins… basically just total mayhem whenever possible!

I use a Moog MP201 to control the Lowpass filter, and other pedals.

Boss OC2… I’ve tried other octaves, and that one just does it for me. I could do a gig with just that one pedal, for sure…

My bass is a 1976 Fender Jazz bass (Aguilar 60’s pickups, wired in parallel to a single volume and tone circuit).

“The MP-201 is controlling Cutoff and Resonance on both the Low Pass and High Pass sides of my custom Xerograph. All manner of fun to be had there.”

With Nerve I play either my ’78 Jazz bass or my Fodera Imperial 5 string fretless, and both are strung with D’addario strings.
