Right, my first mostly-successful attempt at doing a split screen video! This is in response to the people asking for a demo of the difference in sound between the MXR Thump bass preamp and the MXR Bass Preamp - similar in many ways, but with one fairly major difference.
WARNING - the differences I'm demoing here are pretty subtle. This is a 'real world' demo of how I'm using the Thump to enhance the tone I already had, not some kind of fake thing where I set it up to sound wildly different just for the sake of the video. This is all about the actual tonal advantage I get from it, and if you're listening to this on laptop or phone speakers, you're going to hear precisely none of that. So get your headphones out.
Anyway. hope you enjoy it - the video goes properly weird for about a minute in the middle, before finishing out with a fairly low res full screen shot of my pedals... Sadly, the camera that was recording me playing ran out earlier on (which also means that the musical weirdness at the end of the vid will be harder to fathom, but ain't that always the way? ;) )
But it's the first 7 or 8 minutes that really tell the story of what's going no here... So enjoy!
(Oh, and FET stands for Field Effect Transistor, not Transformer, obviously ;) )
