attackbass Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Moving on my brilliant Audio Kitchen The Small Trees. The pedal adds an amazing warmth and sheen to your tone and creates this awesome feel when you play through it. It's hard to explain! Combine it with a di box and you get an awesome valve DI. It's in excellent condition and only used for studio work and of course comes with the 12 volt power supply. £325 delivered 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave808 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Can confirm these are an awesome bit of kit!!! GLWTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybassdoyle Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 So what does it actually do? I’ve always been curious, they are always a high price for a one knobber! no judgement there btw just genuinely interested x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I'm interested too and would love to hear a demo of it being used with bass. I've scoured youtube but can only find demos with guitar, usually as a front end to another valve amp. Can you provide a quick bass demo with this one?

I’ve always been curious, they are always a high price for a one knobber! no judgement there btw just genuinely interested x I bought the DI version recently and really enjoy it for playing through cans. I generally use my LA-1A for a clean, tube sounding DI but I feel like the DI attenuates the highs a bit, and there's always compression. The Small Trees DI is smaller and maintains all the highs as well as warming up the sound to "fill the gaps" that solid state just doesn't do typically. It's not an absolute tradeoff for the LA-1A since both have their advantages. But in a nutshell, TST warms things up nicely. I had previously contacted Steve at AK and believe the version for sale here should be upgradeable to the DI version (same enclosure) and you may even be able to do it yourself with the parts sent to you.

charlietuna Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I need to add one thing: TST (DI) plus the Fake Plastic Trees is an unbelievable combo. Sounds and FEELS like playing through a tube amp more than any other pedal combo I've used. It's a shame more bassists don't know about or use AK stuff.
