The 4 XLR/jack channels at the front, aside from the ones at the back would point you this way that it is possible and they can each be selected as a separate channel in your DAW

Pop a set of black labels in your Sandberg and you may think differently again

My perception of the drive is that if you have the bass as almost the primary instrument in a song/band DG drive works very nicely, but if it is there as part of the band, song, soup make up of a track it falls down, it seems like the drive is not quite parallel , it’s slightly off - that’s with B3k/VMT engines anyway. Its no surprise they have gone to a cross over with the X series which should in principle help solve this. So far as genres go, I could definitely make it work for non metal, even with drive, but it’s harder work than something else

It’s so gratifying - I have accumulated bits, may even have a spare neck - give me a pm and I can tell you where i am up to, and if I have any parts to release

Honestly though - do another build if you are loving it

As with everything, cure it with fire - burn it, then it shall be a problem no longer

On the other point about fresh stuff, their neural DSP will be good, and they are slowly moving towards modelling, but essentially each pedal is a distortion engine, with or without an EQ, which now incorporates silent playing to tracks and building on PC/Mac modelling. What I would like to hear is the Ultra’s in a fist fight against each other, just to really see how different each of these engines do sound, from clean, to just breaking up to cranked. Are they vastly or subtly different? If they are subtly, barely discernibly different, then maybe, just maybe you can say it’s a bit naughty.

Bit at faecestiousness from us both in all truth, or just light hearted digs all around I reckon, I doubt any of us are severely wounded and I doubt DG are either! I will maintain though that like or loathe the products, appearance, launch strategy of DG (in this example) I do not think anyone can criticise his customer service or passion for the product and bass guitars, any conversation I have had with him as been top notch and not at all generic - they will look after you whether you bought it new or second hand - that is Gold dust. So far as marketing/release strategy - well we all know how it goes - if Ultra is what you want in a product, be patient and wait a few months, if you buy X, then sell and buy X7 them sell and buy X ultra because ‘you have to have it’ that’s your choice! My real gripe with the DG products is that they can do so much more than the generic metal we always hear, but this is never showcased - that’s my only real issue with them, and that is to their detriment IMHO. Tried a truckload of their stuff, I know it’s not my bag, but no offence meant

Northwest guitars dark brown guitar stain will be a reasonable match, but I am sure any hardware store you’ll get some

Stain it

Any time anything bass related gets released, we talk about it, it’s basschat...... Dont think there’s a special Darkglass club on here, but by all means get one going.....

Liking this

Dust and scratch free?

Go for it Spend the £400 smackers on it, and i’ll be generous and give you £200 for it when you realise your DP3X and TH pedals give you what you need already

Yep Ed Friedland has said he will never pan something, I suppose you could read between the lines and gauge how excited he is by something as to how good it is. Patrick Hunter makes every Pedal sound the same. Maybe ‘reviewers’ only review stuff which is pretty good, so it's self selecting. Maybe i’ll Build something really crap, send it to one, pay them to review it and see if they say it is great.

We’re you like me and paid them not to use their stuff?

Agreed I wanted Basstheworld to do a comparison between a pedal they had already done which was similar to a different makers one. I contacted them and said, this would be a fun review, I like the way your review and things. He wrote back saying we are maybe working with the manufacturer in tying to review this other pedal. I offered to post mine over for them to do a comparison - flat out refusal as the manufacturer of the one I was going to send wasn’t paying them, and they said that. They were up front, but in the same breath, you have to trust your own ears and educate yourself on somethings capabilities, most of these reviews can not be objective, which is a shame.

🍆

Happy hols!

Kicking genuine Bi amping into touch, aside from old Gibson and some Marshall (I think) guitar cabs that combined 10s and 12s for a swirling, vibra phase shift effect - are there any Bass Can manufacturers popping a 10” and a 12” in the same cab?

One10 will handle up to 600w Clean, less distorted It will fairy out before it blows up

A damning unbiased review of the pedal..........oh wait, I forgot, basstheworld only review stuff they are paid to review, likely to be fairly neutral at best.....
