    4 basses, fingers and pick, active and passive, and killer playing. Can’t ask for more in a demo. You nailed it 👍

      All bartolini pickups, they all sounded the same!

    Pretty sure all the dislikes are other pedal channels because this is the best review of this pedal I've seen so far.

    Yep, it'll make my passive basses sound awesome (especially my Rogue jazz bass since it now has Seymour Duncan pickups) and my active basses MONSTROUS (especially my Cort Curbow)!
    Update: Got it for Christmas, and it's phenomenal!

    I still dont know how I feel about this one. Love all the other ones, this one Im not sure yet. Would love hear it stacked with the A/O Ultra tho.

    Any time i am looking for a pedal, i surf your channel for hours on end - thanks for all the stellar vids. Great playing - sweet basses - Darkglass stuff..meeehhhh. They all sounds the same to me personally, they seem to lose the depth and foundation of the notes and just become an over complicated tone of marbles in a can. That Elrick without the pedal - wow, surprised the hell out of me! That bass sounds killer. Thanks again for all your great vids pal. Cheers

    Wonder how this pedal would do through a sansamp bass driver di..
    Anyone who has experience with these 2?

    That Mesa with the D112... 🤤

    Killer demo as always, MrExane…I was thinking of getting this pedal to go with my darkglass vmt. that or the alpha omnicron.

      Update: I’ve purchased the microtubes x and it sounds killer. 🤘🏻🎸 and at a certain setting, it can sound like an Ibanez pd-7.

    i'm sure it sounds great in the context of a full band doing metal songs but nothing about it on its own sounds good to me.
    the playing and demo itself is rad though.

    • @MrExcane

      Suped_BIGRIG_350mph Trust me, it kills in a live setting which is where it shines.

      Isn't that the definition of bedroom tone vs band tone?

    Hi,
    1) you think its good for playing good Charlotte, sum 41 , billy Talent etc offspring?
    2) you also think it sounds better than boss odb3 when we look at the overdrive?
    3) also do you prefer this microtube X or you prefer alpha omicron?

  • @jobelewis6416
    @jobelewis6416 Před 5 lety +2

    I must be honest, these bass tones sounded scratchy and SUPER scooped. I’m not sold🤔

  • @flv2358

    X or B7? :)

    That’s a lot of expensive basses!

    It’s too bad you can’t go thirty seconds without playing a Justin Chancellor riff. How unoriginal!!
