Big Bottom

I read an interview with him where he said he uses one of those envelope pedals [i.e. DOD FX25 Envelope Filter] on the bass. It's the pedal that can make the bass do a quacking thing. The trick is to turn down the sensitivity knob (no quacking) and barely turn up the range knob. It gives the bass a serious sub-harmonic. It's great! Works especially on slower tempo songs. Not two days after reading that, I came across a used pedal for forty dollars. It really is a great trick.
