I’ll give mine a go. I love the Clear Driver Preamp. I’m definitely in gear heaven, it’s starting to get difficult to decide what to turn on to play with.

Rickenbacker 4003 with the Ian Martin Allison Polished La Bellas https://www.labella.com/product/asp-45103-ian-martin-allison-signature-strings-4-string-set/ They're just like old worn in rounds I do like them but I’m definitely more of a flats player, so I guess I’ll have to film all of these again when I switch back 😅

Too long, too boring, enjoy, don’t think I’ll be selling this now

Ok, so this is flat out too long and probably a really boring watch but I just got caught up in the sounds I found. The lower gain stuff I could play for hours. I don’t think I’m going to let this go, still got to see how I feel about the DCX but for what this is worth I think it’s just great to have lay around.

Well I have one for sale 😇

Easily the most pointless but I’ve been discussing it with friends. This is an original Sansamp bass di which has all the controls as trim pots internally (to give the appearance of being a di) into a Cranborne Audio Camden EC1 Volume was a little hard to control on this one and I would have liked to crank the gain on the Camden but there was no master volume in the chain. Anyway everything is just a combination of circuit magic and distortion. The Sansamp is just a normal clean di and then you activate it and I’ve basically got a bit of drive, rolled off the presence and tried to volume match it (but there is a jump). My thoughts, I don’t think I’d go into the studio without my Countryman and this Sansamp now. I’d always look to run clean and spicy. The combo with the Camden feels like I don’t need anything else but combined with the boosts I have there is a great range of tones. The Camden could have been a main part of my rig but the power supply is just horrible.

So I have to buy my own 🙄 fiiiiiiiiine

Well my demo video is like 15mins long which is usually a sign that something should stay 😅

I’m waiting 😅

Last one for a while, Zvex one off Concert Bass Mod Super Duper. This is a two channel boost (Super Hard On), the Jive is apparently based on the SHO. This one is voice for more low end and to try and replicate a Sunn Concert Bass. I went hunting for one after playing through a Sunn Concert Lead at a jam session. It’s a little hard to control in a video but I can set it on a board for a solid 3 sounds that then drive other pedals, primarily the Beta Mk1. Again like the Kasleder, I’d probably have this with a battery and just throw it down in front of the board when I fancy. If someone ever tells me I have backline of a big old tube amp, my rig will be just this pedal 😅 My main takeaways after all these little videos are how much I love the Punchline, Beta and Cream Pie and the amount of subtle flavours I can coax out of them.

A slightly modified Kasleder Freaky Stone Boost & Fuzz My thoughts are, I’ll never put this on a board it can live on a 9v battery and I’ll just drop it at the front of my chain whenever I feel like it. This is probably one of my favourite pedals but it does heavily benefit from an amp sim/ir. I don’t think I’d run it live without least the Element

For those interested here is a comprehensive demo.
