frozencons only thing I didn't like about this video is the handlong of the reverb, maybe more ambient sounds or layers like cap'n was suggesting... all in all a good demo of the pedals.
The EBS multicomp is the best compressor for bass I've ever used. Compressor love is subjective, but this $200 pedal can make a $300 bass sound like it's worth $2000+. Hands down, the best comp for bass on the market, bar none.
I had MXR M87 when it came out, was my first compressor and it was ok, but I only used it on 2 gigs before selling it and decided that I don't need compressors. Meanwhile, I was always interested in multicomp as it always seemed like a very musical pedal (plus, I don't need hard compression, just nice soft subtle will do). Well, yesterday I took the plunge and bought it (and it's the new studio edition!). Can't wait for it to arrive! Time to give compressors another go :D
Judging by this at least, that thing sounds incredible! I'm an absolute fiend with multiband compression in the studio, so the idea of being able to have it on the floor is pretty damn cool...
Multiband and tubesim settings are the 2 settings I'm mostly interested in trying out. I'm using a 2 band eq Stingray (roundwounds) and a passive P with flats. My P actually has slightly louder output, so I'm hoping to find common ground fairly easily, and doubt I'll need to set the comp to "active" mode.
Please do some videos on G&L basses, or Warwick basses, or the Ibanez Talman basses, or the Ibanez ATK basses. Love your videos with Nathan and Chappers, and Matt, and Bea. Always love tuning in to Andertons for all of the gear info!
6:44 Protip: You get the most out of the MULTIBAND setting when you unscrew the bottom plate. The are two plastic micro potentiometers inside which are used to adjust the lo and hi band thresholds. In Normal and Tube mode the LOW treshhold is used to limit the sound. I don't know what the crossover frequency is. I have actually e-mailed EBS about that, but they never got back to me. :D ALSO, the UniChorus has a dry/wet pot inside. It's factory set to 50/50 I believe. Same thing goes for the DynaVerb I guess, but not sure since I don't own one.
Hey guys,just thought I'd let you know that a couple of links in the description are wrong. You just need to switch round the chorus & Octabass links. Thanks for another great video!
I actually ended up buying one of those compressors for my electric guitar after ABing a whole bunch in denmark street. I needed one for a gig when i was in the area. I've bought and sold a bunch of other comps in the interim as I thought i couldn't go on with a bass comp. But I cant really fault it!
Lee Anderton should not be the one demo'ing pedals. He goes straight for the unusable setting every time every pedal. He does not hit that sweet spot, or so she said.
I like the Sound of the EBS multi comp and other EBS pedals. I bought different ones. But my multi comp pedal is a real troublemaker . . . Never really worked . . . A monday- pedal :-(
It's in the refrigerator if you're referring to the Royal blue model as an old model it has spb 1 pick ups. I own it but replaced it with Spb4 s and the sound is more than marginal.
i didn't say it doesn't play well, i just said it'll play like any other p bass, if you like p basses then im sure it'll feel right at home, but it really isn't different enough to warrant a review
Could you guys do a video on the Fender Super Bassman~? All the videos I've seen are quite pathetic, and lack explanation or don't go into the depth of tone variability, and I'm sure you guys could do a much better job than them~
