Thank You 😎🤙🏽💥

Not a bad option. I believe it’s a good addition to the arsenal. I particularly like that the knobs don’t over compensate. Very well presented. Good to see you brother! 🤘🏼

@RodneyMcG 9 месяцев назад

Totally agree, and thanks! 🤘

@covery I am thinking about getting it as well, how do you like it so far? I like that it has a different vibe.

@coveryourears3851 9 месяцев назад

@@mixc8 just stayed up way too late doing A/B with an Underground Accelerator and a Slampegg. Both very similar and able to give warmth and tube heft/saturation. The Elementary is a little more modern and scooped and bright to my ear which I disliked with my setup for the most part. Haven’t messed around with changing the tubes but I keep the gain below noon so it seems a fun idea to stick a lower gain tube in there to increase the sweet spot.

@@coveryourears3851 Thanks brother for the hard work, I see the Venus X is a little $$$, I think it's a interesting pedal but I want to see if its worth the $$$

@krms2504 9 месяцев назад

Sounds definetly unique , but just not my cup of tea. Other people can definetly need it more than me .Also I noticed , Im actually the guy who likes darkglass and ampeg distortion xD. But its nice to see that companies try diffrent things , as having the same thing can be pretty boring. Also noticed that we both have completly opposite tones. Still, a really good review from you👍🏾

Not everything works for everybody, and it's good to have choice instead of everybody sounding the same.

@jameslangford9347 9 месяцев назад

That unit sounds like it can cover a wide range of tones for various styles, as you mentioned. I’ve never used a preamp pedal but the Sushi Box would be in the running if I were to ever add one. It sounded like you threw is some jazzy sounding bits during your noodling. It sounded good.

I really like this pedal, what a change of pace! Brother McG I see you have a Track Life stand but how do you have the pedal connected to it? This would be a great setup for me in my recording studio when I am trying out pedals and don't want to reach down to a pedal board :) and great playing as usual.

@RodneyMcG 9 месяцев назад

I'm just running cables as normal. I tie them in a mini snake to the stand. Super cheap way to do it is just get a monitor / camera clamp holder for a mic stand and a cheap mic stand. Use the clamp to hold the pedal, and the cables down the pole with velcro ties to attach them. Does the job!

It's always great to see you man, hope you are doing well. Nice video, and nice preamp, although the tubes may be a no no for most people. Do you have any experience with the MXR M80? Any tips for that specific pedal? Cheers from Uruguay

@RodneyMcG 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. I haven't used the M80 myself, but I respect MXR and hear good things. Cheers from the USA!

@@RodneyMcG i have a topic for Metal Bass Monday: what's your take on Metal producers on youtube? Are they disrispectful towards bass or is it just ignorance? (knowing most of them are guitar players with a Bob Rock's complex), i know you must be aware about Singularity, the virtual bass plugin SMG is currently selling to replace "your rule n°2" (a.k.a. your bass players suck). But aside of that, i find that most of them when they talk about bass recording tend to say the same 3 things: play with a pick, play hard, let your guitar player do the recording for you. It's annoying AF.

@RodneyMcG 9 месяцев назад

@@nuldorvamoysenor2091 You're reading my mind, my friend! I have 2 videos coming that talk about this, and we just recorded a podcast for season 2 that talks about it as well.

@drewinman7171 9 месяцев назад

"Flavor of the week" Ha! Nice metaphor. I think the only DG that's worth it is the X-Ultra since it has built-in high-pass and low-pass filter as well as a full band compressor. I only really use that for live, though. You can do all that fun stuff with stock pkugins in your DAW if you really want to. This was a pretty cool vid.

@RodneyMcG 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! I don't have an issue with Darkglass, just people that overuse it for the same sound and the endless copy pedals
