Demon FX Sim Amp Bass Station - Preamp/Cab Sim/DI. Bought from Ali Express last month just because I was ordering other things and wanted to try it out! Paid £58 for it

It’s a clone of the DSM Humboldt Bass Station. It had 3 band preamp is based on an Ampeg SVT, can be clean or crank the gain for SVT/tube OD, there is also a parallel ‘clean’ path which gives you a really fat low end (which can be enhanced with the LPF @ 500 or 100hz and blend in as much or little as you want) - I didn’t really get this until I played with it, but it works fantastically well to give you fat clean low end underneath the effected signal.

There are two fx loops - one for the preamp side and one for the clean side, so you can run OD pedals on the preamp side and then blend in clean signal from the parallel path into it and so it makes any effect pedal you couldn’t use due to losing low end useable again!. There is also an effect loop on the parallel path - there’s loads of yt videos of the DSM version showing how thes fx loops can be used creatively/best

Lastly there is the Cab Sim which is outstanding, offering 3 different cabs (115/410/810) and controls for resonance, mic position and wet/dry blend with the preamp/parallel side. It also has two DI’s - one for the effected signal and one that is the clean parallel path only. ALSO - this can be used just as a cab sim by plugging your preamp out into the FX loop return on the preamp fx loop, and honestly the cab sim is really very good.

Quality is good - sound and build, and if you look on Google etc there’s a fair amount of feedback from people comparing it to the original DSM version positively

Paid £58 for it last month and I’ve played with it for a few hours at home, but that’s all. Happy to give someone a bargain here - it’s a decent little unit, plenty of stuff to play about with and it’s sounds spot on - also you don’t have to wait 3 weeks for it to turn up from China 😁

Absolute bargain - £25 shipped!
