I hear you boi!!!!! That groove was pretty nice!!!!! Especially with the drive you threw on it.
Good groovin'!!!
it seems like most of these preamps just repeat the same controls that are on the amp, with one or two bells and whistles thrown in. But some of them have a few good EQ controls, like sweepable mids and a compressor, which don't appear on many bass amps.
I’ve just got a walrus bad water and loving it
None of them , I’m sorry. Maybe any Ampeg?
I have deep emotions regarding my Ampeg® SCR-DI Bass DI with Scrambler Bass Overdrive.
On my baritone Gretsch hollowbody guitar even. The Lo Filter makes the meat fall off the bone.
Aguilar rules! Ampeg SGT-DI is missing…
Magellan's pretty sweet..I like the drive on the EHX.
Still got my trusty sansamp bddi…17 years and its never let me down ????.
Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp is the greatest. I've been using it everywhere, recording or on stage. One another thing is; using all these preamps with precision sound is a big mistake. Also I am only one in the world who hate precision sound. Neck pickup sounds like double bass but. It's NOT.
What do you think, is the Battalion a worthy preamp or a budget compromise?
I just got rid of a of a preamp pedal not mentioned here because of distortion in line causes by the LED on the compression portion of the pedal. The EBS has that same issue looks like.
FYI…the bypass on the EBS MicroBass 3 is the filter/EQ bypass, not the compression bypass.
Turning the compressor off happens when you just turn the knob to 0.
Darkglass sounds surprisingly very weak
I use the micro bass 3. Absolutely love the tone paired with an MTD Kingston super 5
DO any of these have speaker emulations as well?
What is the black bass in the back right
Love my vintage SansAmp Bass DI, SVT in a box, ultra reliable…! ????
The bass bone – Da Swiss Army knife of Bass DI's – yeah buddy
I've got an Atomic Bass Box in my truck as a back up. Never leave home without it!
