Sans amp Geddy lee Di pre. All you could ever need or want
Speaking of affordable… I've recently tried 2 preamps from Joyo, the Tidal Wave (based on the Sansamp Bass Driver) and the Monomyth (based on the Darkglass Alpha-Omega) and they both sounded really great, nothing to complain about, but my personal preference are the Sansamps (Bass Driver and VT).
Would love to see you review the Trace Elliot Transit B (if you haven't already…). It seems to have rather robust functionality at a reasonable price.
We need more from "all about the bass", please… Also, a special on the ToneX for bass players would be great!
Thanks guys, a well structured review & also with pertinent background info. Nice one !
Cici looks hella different with a perm…. A lot grumpier too
This is just proof that if you play well, any preamp will sound good
Very sad there's no sansamp ????
Don't forget Caline Wine Cellar. See for yourself. Howdy from Texas!!????????????
I just don't get why he's pushing the blend towards the drive on each one. We want the dry to be holding up the wet.
Surprised they don't have the £29 Behringer BDI21. They do sell it. Great preamp.
Ive used the Melvin Lee Davis for years now my favorite clean tone pre amp, with the IR engaged and the right eq I can get that nice clean recording quality sound live.. and I also record everything with it because it acts as a recording interface and I usually use the focusrite along with it still and man… def the best recording tone I’ve ever had
look at nathan navarro envelope pedals review, notice how he knows to shut his mouth and demonstratethe pedals, waiting until the end for any quick direct vocal explanations
extra: british people talk like theyre obsessed with hearing themselves speak.
I love my Digbeth and have been using it almost two years in front of my Blackstar U 700 pushing an Ampeg 15” speaker box . I have exactly what I need for any gig. All of my basses sound as I love them and can play all different types of music as required.
I have the older Fishman Platinum EQ & a mk 1 Sansamp pedal. Have my Amp tone controls set flat, so using it just like a power amp.
I have a Palmer preamp with cab simulator. It's a sweet and affordable pedal too. Great tone.
What about using a bass with active pickups electronic together with a preamp pedal?
Will yu guys b looking at the Ground and Pound mkii any time soon?
When you have a sansamp you need nothing else. Nothing can achieve its tone, and its tone is unique
The Nux has separate switches for the cab emulation so you can send the IR to front of house but not to the amp.
MXR M80 DI+ is my go to
digbeth ????
I have the MLD and love how subtle it is. I know it says Bass specifically, but I've run an acoustic guitar, and an acoustic ukulele through it with great output sound.
Digbeth is my go-to. I am an idiot (this is not proving my point, but bear with me) and burned out the front end of my Ashdown head (we won't go into it, I'm not emotionally ready and i haven't taken her a good repair shop yet) . The DBPre was able to go straight in the fx return and sounded … Much like an expensive bass amp.
Zoom b1 four half the price and more features, great sounds in there & runs off a USB battery pack. Missing a DI out, but most of these don’t have stage grade DI’s anyway. Can upgrade to the line 6 pod express too for something a bit more robust I guess? Spend the difference on a midrange DI box if you want one and you’re golden ????♂️
You missed the sadowsky sbp2
Digbeth sounds great especially for the price.
Really surprised with the Boss, big fan of that brand here. Not for the price obviously but I really like the most the DIGBETH.
I have the MXR, love it, highly recommend.
The EHX nano-Batallion makes a great noise, with my 5-string Jazz Bass in front.
Shoutout to Joyo American Sound. No DI out, but sounds nice.
Nice one. I've been using the MXR M81 for a couple months now and am very happy with it. I needed a small DI/XLR out for my pedalboard. In most cases I simply use it with the preamp bypassed, just as a DI Box. I enable it and use the EQ if I need to adjust my sound to the room. It does exactly what I need it to do. The only thing that could be improved is the color 😀
Advice from a humble pro bassplayer: Forget about those fancy budget pedals and SAVE for the REAL DEAL: a TECH21 SansAmp BDDI.
No need to thank me later. ????
Where’s Cici ???
Ya know call me crazy but … 1) EHX 2)Boss ….IMO (and yeah I own a Sansamp and a Helix stomp)
Electro Harmonix sounds great and very flexible, to my ears. I’d go with that or the MXR, but bizarrely the EH is cheaper and deeper so, I’d probably get the EH. Cheaper and more flexible with the gate and distortion. Also i kinda think any pedal like this should have an XLR out for the desk, odd that the Boss only has 1/4".
When using the compression on the EH, you’d really need to bring up the volume (which is normal for compression). And I’d put that in like 60% wet.
I have the nux mld pedal and it’s decent. I will say that the laney digbeth pedal has an emulator tube section. It doesn’t have an actual value. When I was looking to see which pedal to buy I contacted laney direct to ask about what the mod frequency was and the tube channel.
A tad disingenuous saying it has a value when it doesn’t.
The laney digbeth amp head has the same emulator (not value) also. Both sound killer but again it’s an emulator not an actual value.
Any pedals pre amp with Pitch Shift ? thanks
I was surprised by the Boss when I tried it with my Jazz Bass. Its a really nice clean boost, I'm thinking of picking one up.
Boss and MXR are a tie, even though they're a bit different with the Laney a close #2.
review the sansamp xb driver please and also utilize its effects loop for modulation pedals
Enjoy my Orange Bass Butler very much – but these are cool ????????
love the humor cockroaches and the thermo nuclear blast … keep it positive … ????????????????????????
We all go Kenneth Williams when excited. Don't worry.
I use the Digbeth plugin for metal and it's wicked. ????
Help a guitar player understand this guys: Are bass preamp pedals what you use if you have a passive bass, but want to emulate an active bass, so you have the pedal instead of the preamp inside the instrument?
I have gigged the Laney Digbeth & NU-X MLD preamp DI pedals…live both sounded very good, great switching options on the MLD…the Digbeth outputs 660ohm XLR DI, low enough to use live, i really liked both the clean FET & Tube sounding channels…the MLD can be used as a re-amp box, drum machine patterns for practice & aux music player input along with headphones in/output, comes with 3 amp ir's Aguliar, Nordstrum Starlift & MLD's own bass amp & 4 cab ir's, For the price i was impressed with the quality of the Digbeth & MLD..the MLD is very good,75ohm, no matter the price it works really well along with the Digbeth…i'll be keeping mine till they give up or i do…well demo'd….ps, the MLD is great for 5 or those weird 6 string players, MLD plays 4, 5, & 6 string bass's, works well with a 4 or 5 string bass's…the tilt control on the Digbeth is handy live..
New color tone for today is Sparkle,great.
I like the combination of these two presenters. as nice as Cici is, Lee tends to do about 95% of the talking with the usual lineup. More of a balance here, with Lee also going into ocassional Kenneth Williams mode, for some reason.
I am disputing the presence of a tube in DigBeth. The manual refers to the "tube sounding" channel. The power draw is only 100ma. You cannot power a tube at high voltage on that little voltage. It also has no warm up time. I think you need to revisit this topic. It IS a fantastic pre, but I am pretty certain you have this point wrong
