Members tubezipper Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 What do you think is the best way to make your guitar sound like a bass drum, snare? Are there any pedals that do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members allth3s4me Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 why would you need an "alternative to a drum machine" when you can buy a decent drum machine for home for less than a serious guitar effects unit costs?? And I don't know if there's ANYthing like that out there for a guitar anyway. Maybe some guitar synthesizers?? or you can always bend a string Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tengo Posted March 16, 2008 Members Share Posted March 16, 2008 Difficult on an electric. I do this a lot with my acoustic. It's either a punch on the body and a slap on the side or a palmed slap of the strings and a slap on the side for bass and snare (depending on whether I've got a feedback buster in). Hi-hat is muted strings. With an electric, I use different pickups strumming muted strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 With this, you can make a guitar sound like anything you want, as long as it's only 1 sec long. Just plug the guitar into the trigger input instead of the trigger pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members miggy01 Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 I do something like that. I set my SMMwH to multi tap 1 second mode.Knobs at 12 o clock except for repeats and delay which are around 11.I then mute the strings with my left hand and strum, using the looper to capture the resulting "drum beat" plus a full measure of silence, and then I play over it. It's not like a real drum beat, but I think it sounds pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheAtomicJeff Posted March 17, 2008 Members Share Posted March 17, 2008 When I had my Peavey JSX, I could completely scoop the mids, turn up the gain channel, then mute the strings with the left hand and shuffle the strings with the pick. It would sound like 50 snare drummers in a high school marching band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jorhay1 Posted March 18, 2008 Members Share Posted March 18, 2008 definitely an envelope filter a kik drum is a lo frequency tone (below 100 cycles) with an attack at about 1k to 4k so for a kik drum you will definitely need a filter to dial in to teh lo freq's. a snare has a louder attack, noise (distortion ok), and not as lo freq to the drum tone your gonna have to spend alot of time tweaking and practicing to get it dont expect to just plug in an env filter and say "wow! sounds like drums!" your gonna have to work for it, but it can be done.
