dannybuoy Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Can't think of a reason why it would be crap! The XLR out has the top end rolled off so it sounds great direct to headphones or PA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my first experience with a dedicated power amp, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm happy with the sounds I'm getting so far. I've only used it a low volumes, but even then it seems to get warm quickly. No fan, you see. I've read similar comments over on Talkbass but it doesn't seem to have let anyone down through overheating at gig volumes so I'm not too concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to presume that there isn't any chance it's 1000w and it's really about 400w? Bring the thing round and you can compare it with my 700w Yamaha power amp. I'd certainly be interested in the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I tried the dug direct into my Yamaha dxr10. sounded great. Definitely giggable. Really loud too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuzzie Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Ha! Yep, but it works!! Allows me to play clean with a decent one, hit the mix for a gnarly tone, but also with chunk engaged and tone rolled off on the bass, it’s a gentle break up, at least when I play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cetera Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Great review! But one BIG omission.... the 'Chunk' control! This one little control has such a huge effect on the overall distorted tone by adjusting the dynamics and harmonic overtones in the sound.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Good point, it was alluded to a little and also just how much your time control on your bass can help you out. to be fair though a 20 min video (not denegrating the review) cannot do it justice. It took me nearly a month of playing every day to get ‘my sound’ and there is still more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, I feel sure I covered it, but I wonder if it has been edited out. I'll need to buzz through the video later and check ha ha!

We try to stay under 15 minutes or there abouts but you know me.. I like the details! I agree, every review is going to be an overview, there are too many variables to cover every angle. 1 hour ago, Cuzzie said: @Dood great job done on this awesome pedal.

Cuzzie Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 The bass sounds very sexy and looks the beans. What I really liked about the review was the time taken to achieve getting a good clean tone, which is often overlooked - people just think distortion with this. Spot on as well, small increments on the dial give big changes hence the time needed to spend with this pedal. Once you get a sound you like, rolling that tone off on your bass can take you from ‘modern metal’ through to vintage tube like just turning a dial. Played this with old and new strings, rounds and flats, fretted and Fretless, Long scale and short scale, normal fundamentals and multistring, amp and direct PA, P, PJ, Jazz, Buckers. It just plain slays. @Dood we want the out takes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the out takes are just embarrassing. Like the time it took countless retakes for me to even just introduce a product. It was a fairly wordy title, but maaaaaaaaaaan I just couldn't get my words out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
