    All round very, very helpful tips. I am contemplating buying the bass9 to compliment my drum machine. Being primarily a HB player, it is good to know that I am best switching to SC when using this pedal. Thank you for posting and greetings from Down Under.

    Well done. Succinct. Isolated, and demonstrated the effect nicely by systematically working through the controls. Nice to see a review not dripping with egomaniacal pompousness. Like the Deep Purple tribute and the Batman effect! Thanks!

  • @scottbecker3485

    Thanks for this thorough demo! I very much loved the sound of a lot of what the pedal does…and then you did the test with Kemper off, and that made the pedal sound a lot more like the Boss OC-5. So now I‘m not sure if I will get the EHX based on sound, alone. As far as features go, the Boss seems potentially better for my use, which is for adding bass to an acoustic guitar, and being able to dial in exactly what frequencies I want to be tracked to bass, and above what frequency I don‘t want that to happen because of playing chords and melody lines along with the bass notes. As you pointed out, the EHX has a „split bass“ mode that appears to do something like that, but it looks less adjustable, and may not work well with my acoustics, which are always tuned down to standard D or standard C#, meaning the bass notes I need are even lower octaves than usual. Or can the EHX be adjusted to, for example, track bass on the low E and A strings tuned down a whole step or so?

    i am not convinced about my actual pedal, a mooer pitch shifter, it sounds decent but too much latency. now i have e good alternative to play a a la white stripes. we are a trio where the only music comes from my guitar and i have to mimic the bass.

  • @danieljones8368
    @danieljones8368 Před 4 lety +3

    Great demo, but I personally want this to add a bass line into looping through a standard guitar amp. Guessing most people wouldn’t have the luxury of a specific bass amp, so the kemper ampeg model for 98% of the video is giving a much better result than most people could hope to achieve

    I could use that if I had loop performances of the part played underneath the solo, but a click would have to be used or be skilled at capturing the section to be played underneath on the spot. Tricky. But, I see the potential.

    Would this pedal work if you just run a bass thru it to get all those great
    effects?

    • @RockGuitarVibes
      @RockGuitarVibes  Před 4 lety

      Currently I don't own a bass. The thing is the pedal tunes your bass at least on octave down which is pretty low. But give it a try - I assume it will work only if you use an octaver to tune your bass one octave up and then run into the BASS9.

    Really struggling to find any videos that go into a little more detail on the setting two where you can use control 1 to play with the pitch.
    Obviously I’m looking at this for the bass side. But as someone who is interested in a drop tune too... can it imitate what the digitech drop does by dropping by half a step for a number of different tuning... and if so how good would the ehx keep up with the digi tech drop considering the ehx is built mainly for simulating a bass and that the digi tech drop is designed to be a pedal exclusively for dropping your tuning by half step at a time from standard E tuning until you reach a full octave down ?
    Great video by the way , you made a great demo !

    • @RockGuitarVibes
      @RockGuitarVibes  Před 3 lety

      Sorry, I don't have a Digitech laying around for comparison. But you definitely have some tone loss because it's mainly built to emulate a bass. It's also noticeable even if no pitch change is dialed in.

    • @attillal4821
      @attillal4821 Před 3 lety

      @@RockGuitarVibes no worries mate. I appreciate your time to reply. I think I’m going to go with the bass9 just purely on a fake bass tone to fill in the void with future creations.
      I was thinking about buying a bass but the bass9 means I wouldn’t have to switch out guitars and I don’t have all that much room to store . I’m thinking of using my a buffered ABY to split my signal and have one path go off to the 1st input of the new quad cortex coming and the bass9 on the other split to go into the 2nd input of it with bass amp and cab modelling enabled . It will save switching out guitars for a bass for now and if it doesn’t work out I can just sell the pedal and get a proper bass.
      I hope it works out at least.
      Love your content by the way !

      You probably won't blow them (unless you crank and eq the hell out of the bass), but you also aren't going to get the kind of low-end you need for convincing bass. It'll sound more baritone-y. Source:Me. I play a 12-string bass through both a bass amp and a guitar amp.
