Hi does anyone know what gear amps pedals both Joseph J. Fontenot & audie pitre from acid bath and shrum where using for their bass tones during those days on when the kite string pops and red devils & purple ringers I love those kind of bass tones very fucken heavy as fuck and brutal

Audie Pitre mainly played an Ibanez RD707 bass guitar, used Ampeg bass amplifiers, used Clayton .80 mm picks, and used a Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal for the distortion. Audie did also have a B.C. Rich Mockingbird bass towards the end of his life which his younger brother, Kelly, used when he joined Shrüm. As for the chorus effect that can be heard on "Scream of the Butterfly" by Acid Bath, Sammy Duet has stated that any regular chorus pedal will give that sound. A source claims that Audie used a yellow DOD pedal for distortion in Shrüm prior to his passing, but I'd take that with a grain of salt as the same source incorrectly claimed Audie played a B.C. Rich Bich bass. The DOD pedal in question is probably an FX50B Overdrive Plus.

As for Joseph Fontenot, I'm not sure what he played other than a 5 string Jackson bass. Some sources claimed he used Ibanez basses and Mesa Boogie gear. I wish I could be more of help regarding the gear he used. A comment from Joseph is pinned in the comment section of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szCtai7 ... bomination You could try asking him about the gear he used.

Cheers!

Update: According to a social media post from Audie Pitre Jr., Audie also had a B.C. Rich Ironbird bass. According to Joseph Fontenont, Audie used a Big Muff distortion pedal and a Morley pedal with Shrüm. He didn't specify the exact Morley pedal, though.
