Bass Effect as we know, the usual can we meet in musical instrument stores, a lot of variety. From the start that has the facilities of the simplest to the most complicated ones.
As one example of simple bass effect is a stomp box, or better known as the effect cars. Effects of this type of isolation, one effect of the sound (sound effect), although there is also a 'two in one' even 'three in one'. Some say that the effect of this type of stomp box more resilient, both in quality and strength the sound its body. Only possible for the price 'slightly' more expensive than digital effects.
For other types of effect which is a type of digital effect, where this effect to a single device can contain many types of sound character. With this effect, the user should be more painstaking and patient in tinkering with its effect to search for in accordance with the desired sound.
There is also a bass effects that are included in the family of 'digital', it's just that he designed to be mounted on the rack (rack system). With a width of 1 unit and some have 2 units (the term for the rack system) with the thickness (width) for 1 unit of approximately 4 cm - 5 cm.
And also many effects which have become one with the pre amp, and others.
Setting the Stage Effect
In choosing to make music for us to be more efficient. We recommend that before determining the need to purchase additional equipment or a specific effect, we must first have a picture or design on the composition of the song you want us to play. With the composition of the new design we make decisions about what's going to sound like we are using, and what effect should we have to get the sound we want. This method is more efficient than if we bought an effect without having any idea that we will create with these effects. From the experience of some of my friends, many of them that just because the 'hungry eyes' to purchase additional equipment (mis.effect, etc.) that ultimately was never used until the damaged equipment by itself. This is what we try to avoid, so I always emphasize to put creativity to create the composition, and then boosted with equipment that is really required.
Back to setting effect for the stage. Actually, this setting process similar to the process of setting for the amps. The complaint is often the case in which the sound produced is different (at the time at home and onstage) is more widespread due to a different space.
When we tried to sound at home or in the studio, spacious room probably only around the area fraction of a concert hall that will be used. And one more thing to remember is when we download the effects and amp settings are at home or in the studio, our distance with the cabinet (speakers) should not be in close proximity continues. The end result would have us listen to a little distance away, which is about 5m - 6m. Because the sound produced is not necessarily at the time of our distance close to the cabinet together with the sound when we are slightly away from cabinet.
From the above for proof that we can easily do yourself at home with a simple example of the changes caused by distance. Where we can try to play with a distance of about 1m from cabinet (speakers amps), then back straight up to about 4m away from cabinet. And if we want to hear more extreme changes, after the retreat of about 4m from the amp try to shift to the left or right around 1.5 m from the midpoint (the beginning). Where from these tests we can know how big the effect levels of re verb, delay, drive, EQ, and others that we want.
It's good we did the tests at the time of exercise full band, which with these things we could detect the frequencies that might collide with low frequencies of other instruments. Usually when a collision frequency, bass tone we become less clear and this can be avoided by tweaking the EQ (one of them, from the amp or EQ EQ effect, if indeed it has the EQ effect). Because it changes the sound we hear on the stage.
