After some research the term amsterdamned is not in active use at all (there's a movie with taht title, though). Read an article where it was called like that years ago, and it got stuck. Always wondered why it wasn't rather called rotterdamned. *shrug* Anyway, I mean techno hardcore and gabber style big, mean, hard distorted kicks. Techniques used to get them are fuzz pedals, overdriving a mixer channel, EQ, compressor, sampling (layering, pitching, cutting off a bit from the start). I tried to get there in a more direct way. Found a square wave with fast pitch envelope (like one you can use on a sine for a TR alike) works somewhat, but not convincing on its own. --- Thorsten Wilms
