Bass pedal order Reamp tone comparison – HPF, SansAmp and BC-1X Compressor


No plugins, no EQ, just the pure signal from the pedal chain.

I have wanted to compare my pedal order options for a while now, and finally got the Radial Reamp HP box. So enjoy the very same 11 second loop Reamped through the various chain permutations, with surprisingly little tonal difference compared to what I expected. I still have my favourite though.

One thought on “Bass pedal order Reamp tone comparison – HPF, SansAmp and BC-1X Compressor

  • My personal favourite is the 1st configuration (SansAmp-Comp-HPF). The SansAmp reacts more to dynamics, so I did not like compressing the signal first. The HPF then clears up the mud at the end.
