My Pedalboard demo! Check it out :)

[Mattbass97]

Hello all! I've spent the last couple hours setting up doing some recording although having freezing hands I soldiered on and have made demo's for all my pedals! Be kind im by no means an expert as you'll hear aha. It was a bit of fun if it helps anyone out great! if not then ah well Im still relatively new to recording so be gentle.. Also i have kept all these tracks super clean behind the effect this means[u] no preamp or eq or compression just straight bass-board-interface.[/u]
Lastly[b] I will number what technique i'm using when, in the demo's, underneath their title[/b]. Enjoy!

[b][u]My Clean Tone:[/u][/b]

This is the clean tone of my bass which is not affected at all by anything just pure bass. All the demo's have the original bass untouched so that you are hearing only what the effect is doing and no extra eq or compression etc.
