Using pedals without a looper is "baby games" as Sean Hurley likes to put it. It's a necessity and the ML10X is one of the best. GLWTS

I need to add one thing: TST (DI) plus the Fake Plastic Trees is an unbelievable combo. Sounds and FEELS like playing through a tube amp more than any other pedal combo I've used. It's a shame more bassists don't know about or use AK stuff.

I bought the DI version recently and really enjoy it for playing through cans. I generally use my LA-1A for a clean, tube sounding DI but I feel like the DI attenuates the highs a bit, and there's always compression. The Small Trees DI is smaller and maintains all the highs as well as warming up the sound to "fill the gaps" that solid state just doesn't do typically. It's not an absolute tradeoff for the LA-1A since both have their advantages. But in a nutshell, TST warms things up nicely. I had previously contacted Steve at AK and believe the version for sale here should be upgradeable to the DI version (same enclosure) and you may even be able to do it yourself with the parts sent to you.

Great pedal! Someone will be happy.

It’s very difficult to get a bad sound out of this pedal. Nice sweetening of the tone. GLWTS

Thanks Q for the head’s up. I have one already. I just need to pop it in front of my synth chain. It can help clean up and shape a signal quickly. — OptiFet is a great comp as well.

This will definitely be useful to cure someone's GAS...

Best bass for covering Green Day's Dookie album.

I have two of these and they can handle anything you throw at them. Holy grails of 12” cabs. GLWTS.

Thanks @Quatschmacherbut I’m a little tight right now. The JoshWah sounds great in your clips and has some sounds I haven’t heard from another other filter. GLWTS funkydoug
