It sounds great in the demos I’ve heard. I’m sure they’ll introduce bass amps but these things are always aimed at guitarists in the first instance. I’m unlikely to buy one at that price but it’s impressive sounding nonetheless.

This is why we need to build some nuclear power stations in the U.K. 😀

Jule Simone. It has tubes, a fantastic interactive 3 band EQ, it can be set to sound great clean or more aggressively but never harsh or brittle, it has a transformer based DI out which sounds great, it has a boost and the interaction between the Drive and Sensitivity controls mean you can easily and quickly set it to sound right with any bass be that for cleans, to compliment your mix or to stand out more and drive the band. I see a lot of love for the Noble tube DI but the Simone is a more fully featured and dare I say better value, more feature laden product and I’ve owned both to make that comparison from personal experience. It should be good as it’s a boutique item!

So a leak has revealed Fender have a new modeller but it’s gonna be ££££

I love a Pete project😀

I no longer have the pedal but from memory I think I had the boost off most of the time.

I know the boost is after the drive so it’s just volume rather than driving the gain/dirt. It’s a solid unit and had to hear its working for you.

I had an M700 as my main amp for about 5 yrs. the Simone is such a great sounding unit too. I know people rave about the Noble as a tube DI but Simone is a better value unit and although it’s a bit bigger I don’t know why more folks aren’t raving about them. In terms of value for money/features/tone Simone is the winner.

Mine hides underneath the pedal board as last thing in the signal chain. I take a DI off my Simone which goes into the desk via a DG Element. This way I can add more high pass if needed but have my IR’s set to be sounding good as is.

I’ve asked on here once or twice what sort of sounds are folk actually getting out of some of these exotic boards and I know most folk are being creative and doing lots of interesting stuff but I never really get board envy. I’m a simple drive and comp guy and this is reflected in my board and mediocre playing 😀

I don’t play at ear splitting volume or anyhing like that but I do notice the difference with the amp behind me. In one venue we have a sound tech and when I run a cleaner FOH and a dirty amp she always maintains it’s a better bass sound than other bands who play the same room. She’s very conscious of balancing the drums and stage with her foh mix so I know I’m not blasting my amp. I like having the amp behind me and I’ll likely continue to have it as it works for me. I use iems and we don’t have guitar amps on the stage. It’s been experience/experimenting that’s led me to this set up. It works for me.

What?

I use iem’s but still like an amp behind me tickling the back of the legs! If I pop out the iem I get a nice sense of the drums and bass with the foh giving me enough guitar and vocals. I might only pop the iem’s out on a few occasions but it’s nice to have that ‘live’ vibe from amp and drums it’s not super loud just enough to feel it.

He makes these kinds things
