I am not sure if it can work with "down tuned" bass, I don't use ultra low tuning, but like a B string etc, will it get muddy ? I don't see a blend knob it is why I ask :D
With such a great sounding bass would have have been valuable to hear it direct first with the pedal bypassed in order to hear the "fatness" qualities this pedal is adding. Bypass should be included in any review of a preamp pedal (that isn't some kind of modulation or special fx)
@@CathalOBrien2014 I can certainly be used with the BASSRIG. These were imagined with a few usecases in mind. The first (and the usecase the OD aspect will be most useful in) is as an overdrive, boost or just general tone shaper into an amp, bassrig or preamp of you choice. Be that always on or as an effect. The direct-to-console DI stuff is a happy perk of it being a 610 in a pedal, and bass players often using clean DI tones. Running this direct-to-console gives you some nice tone sweatening ability and allows you to shape that signal, rather than having a flat DI. We use ours with BASSRIGs, amps and for making a clean DI sound a little more "proper" for lack of a better term.
Could you, when you do new pedals etc, use a vintage type bass, but also a modern high fi sounding bass for comparison. Just so we see what is like for both types of bass. Would be awesome. I have no fender style basses you see
Im very proud and happy with my new DSX Bass. I have pluged my Cali76 compct bass behind the DSX and it sounds awsome 💪 !! The drivesound ist fantastic and comes with a whide soundrange. After i saw this video i get intressted at this pedal and decided to try it out, and it works great in my live bandsound and in the homestudio . Thnx Gregor for this . thnx Phil ( great performance..)
Sounds and looks much more useable than both UA Bassrig pedals for me, wich are more like overdrive pedals to me, but with way too much ugly drive (like that of our friends from Finland...). Not for me. I like my various Tech21 pedals way more live (use the blend knob!! 😉). (I’ve played a vintage early ‘70’s 8x10 Ampeg rig for years in the late ‘90’s. You could not get it to overdrive, really. It was powerful but super clean (300 watt!!). IMO the SVT head was not the secret, the 8x10 cabinet was (no tweeter). Briljant design! Nowadays I play one or up to four Ampeg AV 2x10’s: same sound. Mostly I use two with various heads. Soundpeople love those: not too much sub lows, just like the original 8x10’s. You cannot compare those with the Ampeg stuff from the ‘90’s up untill todays shitty SVT stuff!) But, back to the UA pedal: I am going to try this pedal out for sure!
Dumb newbie question - why would you use a pre-amp pedal before an amp which of course already has a pre-amp ... or do you connect it straight to a power amp?
It allows you to toy around with different flavors. Also there’s a class of studio type preamps that are a lot better than what you find integrated in most amps. If amps had better sounding DI outs maybe this genre of pedal wouldn’t even exist.
@@frasergrant717 I have only a small board. Thinking is to use use this as an EQ. so signal chain would be, Bass>Cali76>Hamstead Subspace>DCXBass into the BP-1C effects loop.
What is the signal chain for the clean settings? Are u plugging into an amp, preamp, etc. or is the DCX plugged directly into the interface like u did for the dirt tones right after?
