dudewheresmybass Posted Thursday at 17:00 Posted Thursday at 17:00 I have an m80 as well. Solid pedal, great tones. Instant scoop available with the color button on the clean channel, and the drive on the second channel used judiciously can be incredible, but can also be really harsh with the wrong settings. A real marmite tone. 1 Quote
Linus27 Posted Monday at 10:23 Author Posted Monday at 10:23 Has anyone tried a Fishman Platinum Pro-EQ? I'm thinking that my current Sansamp BDDI v2 could stay on fretted pedalboard and the Fishman could be used on my fretless pedalboard. It might be a little more musical with the fretless over the Sansamp and the Sansamp will give me the tone I want for the fretted bass. Plus the Fishman has a tuner meaning I could lose a pedal.

fretmeister Posted Monday at 12:52 Posted Monday at 12:52 Another one to stick on the try list - the EBS ones. I saw that Ian King video (London show pit player) uses one and it sounded excellent. Helped of course by him being a much better player than me! From about 7 mins in. He uses the acoustic one, but there are other models too. 1 Quote

I love my Sansamp for fretless, I start with the “Fat Tube” recommended settings from the manual and then dial the drive back until it’s just breaking up as I really dig in. Lovely tone, or at least I think so 😂 Apologies, I’m not trying to dissuade you from buying another preamp, GAS is an awful affliction 1 Quote

I spoke to Ian afterwards and he was really interested in my choice of strings I use on my fretless. His setup is also really interesting. Quote

Lovely tone, or at least I think so 😂 Apologies, I’m not trying to dissuade you from buying another preamp, GAS is an awful affliction No need to apologise, I am open to all ideas and just gathering information on all the different options. I also love my Sansamp for my fretless and it was that little bit of magic that was missing. I will also try your setting suggestions. I may well stick with either the Laney Digbeth or the Sansamp VT DI. I know they will both work very well but I am leaning towards the Laney as its £100 cheaper, has great reviews and I am very interested in the Tube and FET options on it. Quote
bnt Posted yesterday at 12:54 Posted yesterday at 12:54 (edited) The new Sub-Atomic from DSM&H looks interesting, I'm looking for a price. It looks like it's taking their Simplifier Bass Station concept but made the channels switchable. (Correction: it does still use parallel processing, with the LPF on the parallel path as on the Simplifiers.) I'm actually using my Simplifier clone with an A/B switch in the loops to give me two channels, so this already has me interested. PS: US price will be $259 (Sweetwater).
