This is a short tip coming on the heels of the previous tutorial on thickening up your sound by mixing in a filtered version of the original sound. It got me to thinking - are there any other devices that we could route a signal through and mix in?  Of course, the answer is yes. What I'm really talking about is using what would normally be thought of as insert effect, such as a phaser or Line6 Amp, as a send effect, so this is really easy to do.

Simply add your effect as a send effect and mix your effect in. You'd be surprised what mixing in some tone from  a Line6 Bass Amp can do. It can add warmth or grit to the sound - depending on how much you mix in. 

So, give it a try and let us know how it works for you!

Thought I would share a cool web site I just found. It's called Note Flight and they offer an online notation product. If you are creating charts for yourself or others, check it out.
