I’ve been addicted to donk bass for years, I keep a playlist of deep house tracks with a tonne of donk bass just to keep myself settled.
I know that it’s an entirely synthetic sound but I am 100% convinced I can make that sound in analog with my bass guitar. I’ve tried a bunch of techniques but I couldn’t get close so I know I have to do this with a pedal.
The thing is that I can’t find the damn pedal. I don’t know what you’d even call such a pedal. So I came here to ask if someone has any idea as to how I can play donk bass in analog.
Edit: I tried including a link to an example of the sound I want but I guess I’m not allowed too because it got removed as I was posting. You can try looking on SoundCloud for “DEMO 2014 - MY EVERYTHING - DEEPHOUSE” by TIEN TIEN
I couldn’t quite pick out the bass from the track you mentioned, but I watched a bit of this video. And he mentioned ring modulation, and envelope filters.
