It’s so fucking hard to find any videos on Darkglass gear that aren’t basically sponsored commercials. Thank you for actually making a solid in-depth usage video that shows every detail of this pedal. Definitely helped my decision on buying it.
Awesome review, Erik. 😎🤘🏻🎸 this preamp sounds phenomenal. Especially with your Yamaha bass. Such an incredible tone with the preamp. Both clean and distorted. I would definitely consider get this preamp pedal if I needed a new preamp.
@erikarko I was so confused about how to work the pedal, and your demo was very helpful. I impulse bought it for a new band I joined and I have never been much of a pedal guy. Thank you again!
Looking forward to the comparison video. I currently have the photon but would have bought this had it been out at the time. I tend to prefer the microtubes x tone. I'm not sure if it'd be worth the hassle to sell the photon to get this.
Just take it slowly and go step-by-step! Wipe a preset clean, start with the compression, then go for the distortion, then the cabsim and then the EQ! And do it through a loud speaker/amp so that you don’t get fooled by your headphones!! :)
Great overview! Thank you! Does this allow different presets to be saved one with active mode on and one with it off? Like if you wanted to have a setting for an active bass and a passive bass with output levels matched so you can swap instruments between songs?
Can you turn the pedal off or is it always on? Or can you bypass it it needs be. I play in a couple if bands and this pedal is not appropriate for one of the bands 😂
@@erikarko what is gig mode? Also on the app it has presets a b c d e f. How do I toggle between a-c and d-f? I heard I would need a midi pedal and if that’s the case which midi pedal would you recommend?
@@rockbasskicker Gig mode locks the touch sliders and the controls, so that bumping them doesn’t do anything :) You can toggle the additional presets either via the Bluetooth app or via a midi footswitch. The midi CC’s are listed in the app :)
I just started playing with mine - and all of the presets are 'clean' sounding with different levels. I dial up the 'drive' all the way and I still get no distortion at all.. Im wondering if something is wrong with this thing?
Great video! Just got mine. Is there a way to access the D E and F presets on the unit for playing live or are they only accessible from the suite. Also do you suggest bypassing the cab sims when using it through your amp live?
