Musky Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yeah, Si started a thread on this yesterday but without the link to the demo so thanks for that. I know youtube demos are a pretty ropey way of evaluating gear, but to my ears this is sounding very much like the ODB-3. Which for my purposes isn't a good thing.

danbowskill Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It doesn't help he has a lovely tone to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBassBob Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I wonder how much of that perceived tonal improved is coming from that rather nice Ampeg he's running through being pushed with a bit of extra gain from that pedal. I'm very curious what feedback it gets it gets into players' hands. At the moment it doesn't seem like much more than a preamp with a gain circuit.

Dvisions Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 This GAK video gives a pretty good idea of what the pedal can do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go8-I9gkcww Sounds promising to me, at least in the higher treble/low gain settings. Interesting to know the bass and treble knobs are more of an EQ sweep rather than boosting set frequencies (that's how I understood it anyway).

ColinB Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I think that sounds really good..... but at £129 it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Sounds good at low gain, like a watered down ODB-3 at high gain though. I bet they are similar circuits. Edited January 29, 2015 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
