    I have watched countless videos on this pedal over the years, and this is probably the best combination demo/explanation video I've come across. Well done, my friend! And don't feel bad about just using the octave function. That's about all it got used for on my board for 8 years or so.

    Really nice review! It also has an sim cab option. If you depress the pedal while you plug the power supply in, it turns on a cab simulator

    I have owned this pedal for years. This is by far the best explanation I have ever seen of the controls. Well done! I used to use it in a GB band I was in for pop/dance tunes that used synth bass on the recording. It sounds killer through a house PA! Other bass players would freak out when I put it on.

      @@DanLeggatt I would use the synth mode thats the fuzziest, I don't remember the number, for synth tracks. I will use the clean octave down, that's probably my favorite. Also on my board I have an old DOD Octoplus. I use that for octave only no clean.
      This pedal is the bomb...
      I also like the envelope with the sub. It can get nice and gritty with a humbucker bass...

    Great tutorial! I picked one of these up a few years ago used. It's pretty mysterious if you don't have a manual. It does make a fun bunch of sounds but not all are practical. I really only used it for the octave only too haha. I agree, a dry mix would be handy as some of those get pretty wild. I picked up an LS-2 pedal that will let me mix effect / dry tone. I may have to mess with it again.

  • @danadane2501
    @danadane2501 Před 2 lety

    I'm not a big pedal guy as a bassist but I have to admit this pedal would really serve me well on certain basslines. At least parts of them. Anyway, excellent review on this Digitech triumph of an effects pedal. On a side note I had to throw in the fact it's a Digitech. Many of the other pedal manufactures don't have nearly as good tracking not quality of sound. For guitar (yes I know that's blasphemy on a bass vid) the Digitech Grunge pedal is probably the best Heavy Metal pedal I've ever played or owned.

    Great video man! Between this and mxr envelope filter, which one will you choose?

    • @DanLeggatt
      @DanLeggatt  Před 3 lety

      Cheers! Tough choice, this is far more flexible and has more options. If you just want an envelope filter / auto wah then probably the MXR. If you want a flexible pedal to add a variety of tones then this is a great buy. It does great filter tones too but the MXR does have the edge.

    • @DanLeggatt
      @DanLeggatt  Před rokem +1

      For my use, I can live with the volume jump. Best solution would be to run a compressor after it to smooth out the peaks. Or run it in its own loop pedal with an EQ or something after to tailor the volume and frequency response.

      How much volume loss? Mine seems fine. Some tones will vary in volume due to the nature of the frequencies in filtering. Nothing major though. Could be an actual problem with your unit.
