Anyone who got any experience with the Nux Melvin Lee Davis Bass Preamp?

Just purchased from @gafbass02 my first foray into IR and cab sim. Great little pedal, I’ve uploaded the shiftline pack. Sunn 200s, B-15, 2 versions of  SVT 810, EBS proline 410 all sound good through IEM. I’ve some covers gigs coming up standard rock/pop so SVT810 I think! Excited to hear the results through PA. I had no problems uploading files.

Used mine gig live for the first time last night. Encountered some noise when di’ing and a little when using the out. Need to troubleshoot a bit more next week at sound check to see it was any other components in the chain, no other ‘new’ gear though. Any thoughts experience on this ?

I think I seem to remember something about some people reporting the DI Out to be a little noisy.

 

I wouldn't know though, I use the normal output into a tube preamp/DI, and I don't experience any extra noise whatsoever.

 

But if you have the Treble and/or Drive engaged and set high it would only be natural with some noise.

hey 

Do you think that the pedals released in 2025 will have the same hardware as the first models? Will the micro USB connector issue still be a problem? 

thanks

I've been using the Melvin Davies preamp pedal since Summer for our duo sets when I don't use a combo. Creates a great sound overall, although you do need to be careful with the treble and bass controls when using an active bass. I haven't done any of the computer connection stuff as yet. It all sounds very complicated to me! But as a basic preamp at a relatively low price, it's hard to beat.

okn thanks. What internal amp among the 3 amps and what internal IR cab do you use ?
