ONE bass preamp for ANY gig?
In this video, my friend Trygve and I have an honest discussion and assess the Jad Freer Capo, a versatile bass pedal that can function as a DI, Multiple Preamps, an EQ, and drives. This is a fun and casual conversation for working bass players.

Maybe this is an Australia thing, but this costs nearly as much as a stomp… that’s a no brainer.
Hey Philip, may I know what software do you use for the spectrum analyzer? Cool demo btw!
One THE best reviews on YT…proud bass nerd
I must know why the DCX Bass and the Radial DI appeared on the table for 30 seconds.
Are you deliberately screwing with my ADHD habits of scanning the frame for pedals? @philipconradmusic
Nope. I cant afford to watch this video
Good demo. I like the way this box always sounds musical even with higher overdrive.
It’s all about that low pass filter
QUESTION: So I use a Whammy Pedal, but when it's turned on, it almost seems to have like a -10db drop; could I sidechain the Whammy into the Capo, and use that first channel on the Capo to essentially drive the output of the Whammy?
I want to thank you guys for this review, slash shootout. I recently bought the Bass Rig and right after I did people started talking about the Capo and I was worried I’d mad a mistake. I think for my applications the Bass Rig is going to suit my needs just fine. Thanks again.
So can you blend your pedals and preamp with the capo in the loop? Is it like parallel processing without 2 outs?
Always such tasteful bass phrasing w/ philllll

Really fantastic video guys. I got the bassrig last week, and it’s a little bit of love hate right now. Like, it for sure adds some mojo and thickness to my low end that I love, but simultaneously – I feel like I can’t dial out the scoopy mids thing no matter what I try. It’s like it dulls my attack and favors it to the highs only. I think I wish this pedal was able to tap into a little more of a b15 vibe rather than just the SVT thing. I’m a little torn on where to go from here. Capo definitely looks enticing after this, or maybe I try like a DCX or something with a little more of a mid aggressive sound going in. Curious if you’ve experienced the same kind of sterile mids thing with with the bassrig, and how you’re combating it if so?

Really great video. I'm a longtime b-15 / v4b lover who is trying to figure out a DI setup that gives me any of that mojo. I was about to pull trigger on a BassRig when I came across the CAPO. I don't know if this helped my decision or made it more complicated….but i guess i'll have to sort that out 🙂
Something interesting to dig into is the input impedance of DI boxes. Depending on the the bass you’re using, the input impedance of your DI can have a significant effect on tone.
Killer tones from two guys in 1980s serial killer costumes, and discussing knives.
I’d wanna use either as my actual preamp into an old Crown power amp and into an actual cabinet. Maybe just 2 1X12 cabs from now on. Do both these pedals actually feel like a real amp?
The vídeo os good, but I Still prefer The natural sound, its Hard be better Than that natural base sound, its so smooth.
what soft wear are ya using to analyze the bass sound .man i just love your channel where's the tip jar so i can get ya some gas money
I have a hard time with preamps because theyre often too growly or agressive, i want a soft tone. CAPO seems like a preamp that could fit, heard the trickfush minnow is good for that too, anyone have any recommendations?
Love my Capo! I used it on tour last year and never gotten so many compliments for my bass sound 🙂
Well done guys!
