check this video:

In this video you see that Jared uses a ME50, not a ME50B. The guy also shows how to play Closer with the ME.

I've got 1 question:
What kind of sound gives the Tech21 Sansamp bass driver?

HE uses 2 ME50-B's. Its a great multi effect rig. Very basic and user friendly. The octave whammy is in the effect selectable expression pedal. It tracks nicely and is accurate.

I have one, and love it. Highly recommended.

Its an ME-50B, it has the whammy in it-effect selectable expression pedal. Its a great rig to run basic effects off of. Dialable and very user friendly. I have one. Its brilliant.

Doesn't Jared have some kind of octave shifter? He uses one in "Closer"

I'm pretty sure it's a Digitech Whammy

Hello everyone here.
Thanks a lot for updating the database.
I'd like to know if it's possible to get his Tech21 settings.
Thanks in advance. Best Regards.
