Recording Notes

• The Roland TB-303 was likely the primary sound source, known for its distinctive squelchy basslines.
• The Proco Rat was used to add a layer of harsh distortion and saturation to the TB-303's signal.
• The Roland Dimension D chorus/spatializer was employed to widen the sound and add depth.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Roland TB-303 or a similar analog bass synthesizer.
• Dial in a square wave or saw wave to get a similar starting point.
• Use a Proco Rat or a similar distortion pedal to add a layer of overdrive and grit.
• Experiment with the Rat's filter and distortion knobs to find the sweet spot.
• Add subtle chorus or spatial widening using a Roland Dimension D or similar effect.
• Adjust the mix to taste, ensuring the bass remains punchy and defined.
