Josh Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, So I've had this for little under a month and unfortunately it's not quite the sound I was hoping to get for my current project. It's a fantastic pedal regardless and I can see why there is so much hype for this and other DG pedals, but alas they're just not for me So I'd be interested in similarly priced overdrive/distortion pedals, maybe even a Sansamp Bass Driver. [u][b]Pics:[/b][/u] I'll get some more pics sorted soon, due to it's finish, it unfortunately scratches easily so even though I've looked after it, it already has a few scratches on the sides. Price: [b]SOLD[/b]. Any questions please just ask. Thanks, Josh. Edited September 11, 2017 by Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Plenty of cool and unique offers so far, but I feel I should've been far more specific for what sound I have in mind. I've already received some very helpful info from Krispn about what was used by Glassjaws bassist on Worship & Tribute, but as a reference to those who might not have heard: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBs7vHYjEYI[/media] That's roughly what I'm aiming for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 You want a B7K for that sound mate. Cleaner and crisper than the Alpha Omega. The BDDI will do nicely as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazBeen Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Indeed B7K, but the AO will get you very close with the right settings. Personally I question the need to trade the AO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] After using it for a recent recording a couple of days ago, me and the producer struggled to get a tone anywhere near to the Glassjaw tone, so we had to resort to Logic plug-ins to get the right tone. I've noticed across the DG pedal range they all share a similar core tone which seems very mid-rangey and have a slight fizziness to them which I know some love, but for me it stuck out too much on the recording no matter how we tried to tame it. I've read in the Alpha/Omega thread that there are those who the DG tone just doesn't work for and I might be one of them. I was recommended a Sansamp after I was shown quite a few recordings of a friend using his, which to my ear sounded more right for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) Josh. Maybe you could try a Behringer BDI21. Its a Sansamp BDDI clone and costs less than £30. To my ears it actually sounds better than the real deal, although now less versatile compared to the latest BDDI.

HazBeen Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It happens mate, perhaps a Tech21 XXL would do the trick for you. Worth checking some vids. Not sure if they still make them though.

bakerster135 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Pretty sure the GJ WaT bass tone is a RAT, probably blended with clean? I can get pretty much bang-on this tone with my Jazz Bass and COG Knightfall (OCD derivative) in TK-421 (RAT derivative): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO92mekW7ts Maybe consider the COG TK or something like the Fuzzrocious Rat Tail that lets you blend in a bit of clean? Probably will get you more in the ball-park, gnarly but not as glassy or fizzy as the DG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 This is what makes buying the right OD/Distortion box so hard. Hardly anyone uses just one, even for a basic tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
