Origin Effects DCX Bass - *WITHDRAWN* £180 Cardiff

[FourOnTheFloor]

I recently bought this from BC and love the sounds so much, I'm now selling it (and a  Walrus Audio Canvas) to raise funds for Black Panel '64.

 

It's in excellent condition with no signs of wear.

 

If you have any questions, please get in touch!

I have one on my pedal board, took me a few minutes to get my head around it, now I love it. It's a great preamp, a nice drive and putting it before my fuzz pedal makes it sound more amp like.

I’ve been wanting to try the DCX. Not sure if you’ll get the same tones from the Black Panel though. I love my BP.

Interesting. I was hoping to get similar tones (with some more mid-options) and a DI in the BP. Obviously the BP has the cab sim too. How would you describe it's sound and why do you love it?

Yeah, I have the DCX and briefly had the Black Panel and I don't think they sound the same (although it was >6 months and a different bass between trying them so no sort of direct comparison). Both are good though.

I’ve not used the DI part and hence not used the built-in cab sim (though I’ve run it into sims on my Shift Line Cab Zone Bass). Remember the BP’s mid control is cut-only.

 

I’m only using mine for lowish-gain sounds and have pretty much just dialled in a sound I like and left it there. Gone for a distinctly old-school, warm and woolly tone but with a bit more breakup. Reminds me of some old souls stuff but also some Beatles bass tones. (I’m solely using it with a passive P with labella flats.)

 

It has a decent amount of bass but not the same as say the SV. The way I’ve got it set, the attack is slightly ramped compared to other preamps, that is, the notes sort of bloom in rather than speaking instantly. (Paired with either of the Origin bass compressors, that changes a bit.)

Thanks for the feedback, all. I didn't realise the mid is cut-only. Hmmm... maybe I'll stick with the DCX. I love how it sounds with my JMJ: edge of breakup with a bass and treble bump.
