This video did a good job showing the versatility of the pedal!
Thank you!
Awesome thorough review! I think it would sound good following my MBD2 and am on the lookout for nearly this exact type of effect for that spot, but that internal volume trim pot might be a deal killer. Of all the controls to hide, why volume? And with there only being three controls, why hide any of them at all?
Agreed, personally one of my biggest issues when it comes to internal controls is when it's the master volume. That tends to be the one i use the most, especially when i am using different instruments with the same pedal.
Definitely a great upgrade from the older version. Sounds pretty cool on bass and guitar!
Great cheap backup at a gig if your rig takes a crap
Ironic name when it was indeed pleasant.
That is mad funky
Brass masters are the best bass fuzz by far
I bought the Kaleidoscope reverb from JPTRFX and while it sounded pretty good,it quit on me shortly after a bit of playing. I contacted jptrfx and it took a while but finally I was sent a new unit . Guess what? That one also crapped out. So I contacted them again and again,but I've never gotten a reply, so now I have a $250 paper weight.
Oh damn. im sorry to hear that. That really really sucks. I have to say whilst i havent had any manufacturing issues (other than not being able to get the bottom screws out of the Death Saw), I wasnt super impressed with the fact that their website says that stuff is in stock when it isnt.
@@TheoAndHisPedals I started on guitar as a youngster but got serious about bands in my teens and switched to bass because most guys back then didn't want to.But I fell in love with the instrument.Dispite this I'm a gadget lover and have amassed a huge pedal collection. C.S. is sometimes more important than ingenuity because what difference does it matter if a great sounding pedal doesn't work? Tattoos and Dreads might create an image but I'll take a guy like Brian from Subdecay, that spared no expense, and worked overtime to please me when I emailed him about a tracking issue with bass on an M1 Synth pedal.He actually built me a bass version for free saying " we need to pay more attention to bassists needs." How cool is that?
P.S. you have a good site that I've been subbed to and following for a while!
Having aminata flash backs
Wild and weird
Those droning layers are superb. Would love it as an Indie Game Score!
I can’t believe I’ve not used it on guitar yet, I can see it really adding some cool textures
@@TheoAndHisPedals Well ... I guess i should try it out 😄
That thing sounds absolutely horrible... KEK, videos like this are great, I'll know to never bother with this thing now
The things I love about it are actually only really obvious when playing guitar high up on the neck, the harmonies are great and its a super wild effect for playing solos and melody lines....but none of that really shines through in the lower registerea. I still like it on bass but im basically just using it like a better MXR Blue Box rather than using most of the other features.
this could be good for me as i use the neve 542 tape emulator for my studio bass distortion and never can get something similar in my live board
Very cinematic!
Yeah I love that big synthy sound
i just got one of these. really interesting pedal
I really wish this was a sub-octave
Did you make any other mods (wondering how bridge deals with Bass VI strings) and have you had any issues with continued use as a bass VI. Im considering doing the same with mines
I had no issues with the bridge or using it as a VI long term. I ended up selling it a few months back but up until then it was my regular rehearsal bass
Sorry to bother you again but what strings did you use?
This is a very helpful video. Thanks
Sounds awesome
This is the review we've been waiting for; It was very good to focus on tonal characteristics, especially by using pink noise. Continuing budget-friendly equipment reviews Theo👍
AWESOME!!!! Demo thank you.
Dammit Theo stop making me want to buy more shit
Haha. I wish it was mine too keep because now I want it too!

'No survivors were found.'
It’s full on destruction at this point and when you sync up the ring mod with something, it’s true madness
love that you cover bass and bassvi on this channel. Very very good playing too.
Thanks so much! I wish i was a better player but i'm glad i can show off these pedals to people.
Love it, those lights are hypnotic :) like a psychedelic traffic light
😂 you’re totally right.
Very, very cool!
Cool sounds! Dig the robot wah types you can get out of it.
It’s surprisingly wild for a low pass filter 😂
bro you ok? not having an expression pedal is a symptom of a lot of medical conditions
:D
Really helpful demo for learning how to use this pedal on bass
Fantastic demo, mate! You nailed it. 👍🏼 Sorry you couldn't explore the expression functions! I'll have to lend you my Moog EP-3 next time. 🤓
Yeah, in hindsight theres a bunch more stuff i would do, including running some fuzz and octave into it. I was tempted to run the CV out of the DBA Disturbance into the EXP in of the LPF, but wasnt sure if i'd end up causing damage.
@@TheoAndHisPedals Cool! Well, I can always send it back your way later down the line for a follow-up video, if you want?
@@PedalExperimentsyeah that would be cool, I’ve got enough ideas for another video on it
Go check out Pedal Expertiments’ video on the LPF. czcams.com/video/ugY3Up1kOvE/video.htmlsi=hRt9covdTDseWjrV
Thanks, dude! 🙏🏼
Yeah the Jive does not do as well with pedals in front of it. I use it before my Morning Glory and it really gives the MG a nice kick. The other way around just muddled the MG. But the Jive is my always on and I don’t throw any of the diode switches on. I set it just a tich below breakup and it sounds amazing.
Exceptional tutorial and review!
Glad you liked it!
Love the look of that bass 6!
Oh man you always find such iconic pedals to show. So cool! Very synth “Muse” like sound especially in the low setting.
Yeah I LOVE its synthy tones.
Good video bro. How this pedal react in combination with other pedals?
Pretty well, BUT because the output is so hot, if you have anything after it, you'd wanna be super careful with the output volume of the Rusty Box.....I've had good experiences running boosts and distortion pedals into it but not tried much else.
Lots of tonal possibilities on tap here. I particularly like the low gain settings.
I have a brown acid and like it but thank you. Supa sounds more open in your video. Well presented.
A lot of money to do very little
Yeah I had it and just wasn’t for me. Ended up selling.
Fair enough. I can totally see how it wouldn’t be to everyone’s taste!
Great review! Hard to justify another overdrive with so many options in the market, yet this one seems a bit more unique. May have to check it out! Personally, as a bass player, I’ve stopped trying to find “bass pedals” and just got an EHX switchblade to mix clean signal with guitar effects. I get more flexibility and can try around different things
To me sounds like brassmaster
Thanks for the demo! Do you have a preference between this and the Magnetar?
When it comes to those gated, synthy sounds I think i could use the Pearl on more "gentle" tunes, its smooth, fat and furry. The Magnetar can get very aggressive and intense, I could see myself using that for more agressive styles of music.
Theo - great video as ever. How do you have only 2k subs? I find these helpful e.g bought a magnetar. Love this around the 12 minutes! Really nice bias gate Plenty of bass lol
Thanks James, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm happy i revisted it, i think my videos have improved over the years so i might redo a few others.
It's just a bit blown out with the full weight of the p bass. Has to be first in your chain too. Not for modern audiences lol edit: realises video is 3 years ago....
Haha, yeah after this i had it modded and although that didnt help the low end, it helped the volume and and signal chain placement. I've still got it but i actually prefer the Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fuzz Face on bass.

@Theoandhispedals, did you try to inject a pink noise signal as you usually do with pedals to "see" how does the transformers affects the frequency response?
No, at this stage i was years away from doing that!
@@TheoAndHisPedals thanks for answering.
Chat Pile uses one of these!
