JHBASS Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hey all, Ive been looking at the Knock Out (and yes like a magpie im drawn to the casing!), and do you chaps recomend it? I can see it being benefitial for my bottom end at those gigs where the sound system is crap....or the amatures put you throught the PA or a guitar amp! Whatca think?

gnasher1993 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 To be honest, I personally think it's a one trick pedal. However, that may be a trick you're looking for. What do you want to get from it? A fatter sound? Dub tones? I have to say, it sounds great on guitar! It's good for sharpening your attack, but certainly not slowing it down (but you can do that with the controls on your bass). A few things to think about: it's fairly noisy, the resale value isn't great and there's a risk you'll get bored with it's one 'trick'.

Tee Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have one. Mine is not 'noisy' though. And yes you can add insane deep bass to your sound with this pedal if you so wish. Useful if you're using a cheapo bass/pickup, which needs a bit of help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lylodile Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have this pedal. It basically gives your sound more balls, useful if its failing in the mix a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Fly Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I think it is a nice pedal. It is essentialy an EQ with an unusual interface and filtering so don't expect super-effects. The only think I don't like is its size. Considering that half of the box is empty EHX could have make it smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHBASS Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Cheers for the responses guys, sorry I havent been able to get back to you all, Ive been in Spain! Just a couple more questions (sorry!) 1) Does it physically boost what ever frequency you dial in? 2) is there a point where the sound gets very trebely/gritty, just would be nice if it did this for me! Thanks, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Josh[/quote] This is not how the KO operates. I wrote a [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=14480&st=0&p=152485&#entry152485"]review[/url] a while ago.

Pete Academy Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 You can have mine, unused, for twenty quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHBASS Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Yes, there review was a great read, just what I needed. Thankfully these seem to be easy to find and try than other EHX pedals, so I feel I need to have a play with one in the flesh! Thanks all, Im sure Ill be troubling all again, with some very stupid questions on my part! Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
