EBS Microbass

[nord1]

Hi Guys, anyone have any live experience with this pedal, Just wondered how close it sounds to a actual ebs amp? My band have gone down the iem route and just need something I can use without plugging in a cab. Loved my old EBS TD tone. Thanks

I don't know how close to an EBS amp it is, but it's a GREAT pre. Knocks seven bells out of the SansAmp.

I've recently gone down this route, my amp is a HD350/Neo 2x12 which now only gets used on dep gigs where the PA/monitors aren't up to going DI only.

I'd say the Microbass II is a very good pre, it doesn't sound quite as good as having the amp beside you, but it does sound just as good into the PA as the DI from them amp does, so as far as the audience are concerned, they're still getting that lovely clear EBS tone and you don't have to carry an amp around.

You also have the advantage of a lower on-stage volume and a more balanced sound out- front.

Quite simply one of the finest out board pre amps in its price range available' ive used mine for years "Live" on my effects board' using both channels One clean' the other Driven' with quite different EQ's... it provides clear precise uncoloured tone' & a plethora of uses...It really does leave the opposition "bobbing in its wake"...on virtually all of its applications.
