Torben Hedstrøm Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi. My love for EBS Microbass have made me curious, as to other preamps out there. As a replacement, I have currently narrowed it down to two choices... Sound quaility and flexibility are the key paramters here . I am playing 1 or 2 frettted basses, and one fretless, only other effect at the moment is a tech 21 Chorus, and it is not likely that alot more effects will come into the setup... 1. The Lehle basswitch (The obvious choice somehow... Legendary !) 2. A Lehle d.loop sgos, and one or two other preamp pedals in any configuration. 2'nd solution somehow seems the most flexible, but I am slightly doubful about the effect on sound quality. Both the d.loop n itself, but particularly cabling it up with other pedals... However, it gives me more choice (also to 'shop' a great preamp at a good price). Fact is that I have a very very good offer on a d.loop, so potentially I could make this setup or a fair price. However... I am not going to save £100 or so to sacrifice sound quality. Any opnions or experiences with the d.loop ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillento Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The Basswitch preamp/DI the way to go. I was in a similar situation as you with different basses and a couple of effects and preamps. In the end I tried everything with differend pedal preamps and a looper.... and I went with the Basswitch. Mainly because you have everything in a single unit and it just sounds RIGHT!
