New bass distortion pedal from lusithand

[lidl e]

I'm a big fan of your man's stuff.

 

Always interested in checking out new pedals.

Ahhhh man I love Justin Chancellors bass tone almost as much as spending money I don't have so this is perfect 🙌

That sounds pretty awesome. I gotta admit though anytime I hear a drive made by anyone other than Electronic Audio Experiments I'm a little underwhelmed. I'm not sure why, I could just be a big fanboy, there's something about their pedals which I'm too technically illiterate to describe or its more about the demos.

 

Definitely a solid flexible drive to put on your board, if you could only have one filth pedal it sounds like a good candidate.

[MrDinsdale]

If anything watching this made me want to buy a lusit hand NFP onboard preamp more 😂

Sounds awesome! It's a lot of money to spend but it seems to offer a lot of cool options, I'm quite enjoying all my basses being completely passive at the moment though 😂

Yeah exactly, I'm not ruling it out by any means as it definitely sounds good. Might have another listen and see how close I can get with the Longsword and Halberd.

 

I'd happily give the Alma a go, had I not already picked up a Hyper Lumnial before I read about the Alma I'd have gone for that I think.

[MrDinsdale]

Gave it another listen and actually I do think the added compression on the mix makes for some pretty awesome tones. There are just too many great drive pedals out there 💦

This reminds me of when I owned a Bass Big Muff. There’s two separate tones at the same time - a kind of clean nasal mid with a rasping noise layered separately over the top. Not my kind of thing personally.

[MrDinsdale]

It's a very accurate recreation of some JC flavour, incredibly versatile for such a small pedal. His tone is very mid focused though. If you're in the market for a Rat like drive but want some extra tone shaping and clean blending then you can't really go wrong with this pedal.

They are just incredible pedals, mostly known for the Model FeT (Sunn Model T in a box) but they have some ace gear. Apparently John, the owner has been hugely influencial in the boutique pedal market and has his name on a lot of PCBs for other brands etc.

 

I did a little bit of a playthrough with the FeT, intend to do one for the Longsword and Halberd on bass though as they're excellent.

hopefully my evening should be fun!!

That's a nice demo *, great tone, and nicely nothing like the DG sort of sound that is now everywhere.

 

I'd love to know more about your keyboard - I use an ergo one myself.

 

 

 

* = Sideways pedals trigger my OCD like nothing else on earth.

Haha yeah same although to resolve it would mean jumping to a significantly bigger board!!! It's either a ridiculously long board or a very tall sparse board.

 

Yeah it's a great sound, really built for guitar but just works great for bass. Theres a great demo of the Dagger V2 which is a cut down version of the Longsword.

 

Its an Ergodox, used to have 2 but my Ergodox EZ kickstarter died and this diy one is on its way. Gonna replace with the Avalanche V4 but need to set some time to solder it all! Love a good ergonomic keyboard 🙌

Awesome, you have all the best toys!

[MrDinsdale]

Eugh that's annother for the to-buy list, I think that demo did it more justice than the other demo above. I'd have to try it alongside the Longsword.

[MrDinsdale]

Also Joe's Pedals is the place to go and spend all your money, he's a most excellent person.

Sounds great in the demo, much prefer this one. Top job.... now, where's that credit card?

Thanks man 

 

well worth looking into 

[pantherairsoft]

I absolutely did not need a RAT-style distortion (in all honesty I don't, it's the dirt tone that least suits my ambient electronic tones), but DAMN I want this pedal and am sizing up what I should sell to make space on the board for it. I wish it had top jacks, but that's a minor comment. It sounds amazing.
