Electro Harmonix Battalion Bass Preamp & DI – Review & Demo
Check out the EHX Battalion here: https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/ehx-battalion-bass-preamp-distortion-and-di-pedal
In this video, Sam checks out the Electro-Harmonix Battalion bass pre-amp and DI. Designed with tone-conscious bassists in mind, the Battalion features a 4-band EQ (tailored specifically for bass guitars), and onboard compressor and noise gate, balanced XLR DI output and a switchable MOSFET distortion circuit to add a little bite to your tone.
Other features include a dry output with -10db cut, pre, post and dry EQ options for the distortion, heavy duty contruction and bypass switch. Take a quick look and listen with PMTVUK and make sure to check one out at your local Professional Music Technology…

This was super helpful! Thanks!
Pretty sure the -10db is on the input, not the dry output.
I had watched a few demos of this pedal. There are quite a few good sounding preamp/DI pedals in this price range… this EHX Battalion, TC Electronics SpectraDrive, NUX MLD, Palmer Pocket Bass Amp, MXR M80 and M81, etc., etc.
I'm pretty sure after watching and listening to this demo I'm going with the Battalion. I heard tones in there that are exactly what I'm searching for. Thank you for the most excellent demo.
I'm digging the retro early 80's video game look of it as well.
How can i have one???.
Am in Uganda.

I’m still trying to locate the trim pot inside this unit!
Can i use the pedal with active bass?
Owned one of these for 18 months, in the first 11 months the DI (XLR) started making a static noise. I changed leads, power pack, rooms, instruments, but each gig it got worse and was especially bad in my IEM's. I ended up swapping it in my signal chain with another DI pedal and just used the 1/4 inch jack. No problem. But then the LED light for the bypass (green one) stopped working properly 2 months later, and doesn't react to being on or off. This occurred after 13 months, so warranty was out. I wouldn't recommend one of these. I had a Tech 21 SansAmp and it lasted over 10 years.
Can you set the DI to clean whilst using OD on the main output (ie to the amp)?
Tech 21 Sans Amp or Electro Harmonix Battalion??
can I no the price pls
can i use that on guitar sir??
Thanks for such a comprehensive review! If I had the ability to create the perfect bass preamp, THIS would be it! It has everything I want, with noting I don't. It's a complete pedalboard in a box.
Hate the paint design. Looks like a toy.
