  • Thanks for this good video! I have two questions: Is the pedal actually suitable as an overdrive or is it rather the case that the pedal makes a thicker noise in OD mode? And the second question: what is this strap that you use? Thank you!!

  • Ivan. Love the way you explain the pedal. Describing music and sound is very difficult, so thank you! (Also, I'm always impressed at how articulate you are in English. I'm sure you have a larger vocabulary than most native speakers!)

  • Loving Origin products! I was using the Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon and Harmonic Booster, but I replaced the HB with the DCX Bass and recently added a 64 Black Panel. My current rig is DCX Bass > DG AOP > Bass Rig 64 Black Panel. I thought my tone was already at the optimum level until I compared it with stacked OE products. I never knew it still lacked clarity without my bass rig and the DCX Bass. I can't play without Origin Effects anymore. If you can, please create content stacking two of the legendary pedals, Darkglass with Origin Effects. That would be a killer rig!

  • I only play direct these days. I have 2 dcx’s!! Run them into a warm audio di. Fantastic sound that I believe does not need amp or cab simulation to get bass and warmth. Even in OD mode does not need cab sim. Having 2, I can have clean and od. Or I can have one set to play with a pick. Very happy with them. Btw cali 76 in front of them.

  • Thanks for the review. It's a very interesting pedal. Occasionally, I go 'amp-less'. Could you tell me what IEM's you use as I'm trying to find a warm, deep sounding set-up. For now, I can't quite seem to let go of monitor amp because of the loss of the bottom end when using IEM's only. Any opinions, gratefully received.

  • The tone reminds me of the SansAmp drive and cab sims with less presence. This is a higher-quality pedal than the SansAmp because you can hear the clarity, but it's a better option. For a touring board, the Origin Effects DCX makes much more sense because the Noble is gigantic, and touring with a pedal that big is only feasible if it is rack-mounted. While I prefer the overall sound of the Noble, it isn't a practical pedal for touring. Great video! The only negative thing was that I wanted more live video highlights!!!!

  • is it really necessary if you already run a origin super vintage and cali 76? does this bring enough to the table to justify the purchase?

  • Hi, I use it as an always on like you on EQ mode with a little bit of drive just to stay at edge of the break up. I have EQ flat rolling just the bass off or boosting it depending on the bass guitar I'm playing 😉

  • Superb demo as always Ivan! A couple of questions- What makes the DCX a better option than the Bassrig, and could this replace a compressor?
