Tone Profile

The synth bass has a gritty, distorted sound that provides a rhythmic foundation for the song. It's a classic example of 80s synth-pop, with a slightly harsh and metallic edge.

Recording Notes

• The bass sound was likely created by layering multiple samples and processing them with distortion.
• The Emulator II was heavily used by Pet Shop Boys, so this is a likely candidate for the synth sound.
• The distortion adds a crucial edge and aggression to the clean sound of the Emulator.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a basic saw wave or square wave synth bass sound.
• Add a layer of distortion to give it a harsher edge.
• Experiment with different distortion pedals or plugins to find the right level of grit.
• EQ to taste, cutting any unwanted frequencies.
