Pedals You Want To Try

… and at some point Josh mentions the MXR Bass Distortion and what caught my attention was he said it is based on my beloved RAT circuit, let’s say it is basically a RAT “re-thinked“ for bass.

Yes! Great pedal! I used to have this. I traded it away a few years ago, and I regret it a bit. It has a lot of different sounds in it and works great in the mix. I only traded it because it wasn't on my gig board, and someone I knew needed a bass distortion, and offered me a chorus pedal for it. I wasn't feeling my chorus at the time, so I took a gamble. I've been tempted to buy this one again.

I'm starting to get that Darkglass itch. I've never even tried one of their pedals. In this video, the Alpha Omicron wins it for me, with B3K in second place.

I've been using the old B3K for a while and think it's killer. I love the nasty growl it has, but still might be going for the alpha-omicron later.
Btw. I also have the Vintage Microtubes, which does a great job at being a nice Overdrive, so it's a super combination with one of the heavier distortion pedals.
 
I want to try a Free The Tone TrinChorus and their Silky Compressor

Wounded Paw OD/Fuzz/DI/Preamp

Dreadbox Kombrei Chorus/Flanger
 
Recently scored a Crowther Audio Prunes and Custard pedal

Worth a whirl if you see one. Not sure there’s anything quite like it

REALLY not digging the DG X. I owned one for a brief moment but pushed it out the door. For me the one DG pedal is Alpha-Omega / Alpha-Omicron as that is the semi modern sounding one which still holds its own in the mix.

The Aftershock in this video however grabbed my attention.
 
Offical Darkglass hater here.
They've defined the metal sound for almost a decade now, and im tired of it.
How is everyone so hyped about them in the comments? They must be deaf. Are they paid bots or something?
 
Dough came with the right pedal (vintage microtubes) at the right time. It was the first overdrive/distortion aimed specifically at bassists that did not completely suck at the time (I tried MANY throughout the nineties).
Then the B3K, B7K, Duality, A-O came. Besides the ADAM everything since has been variations of earlier creations with added speaker sim and presets.

For what you get, stuff is really overpriced but that goes for many many pedal manufacturers these days.

I own a Microtubes 500v2 amp and only use its VMT circuit to add a tiny bit of grit, not fullblown distortion as the Tech 21 YYZ does that job way better for what I need.
On the Quad Cortex I build bi-amp stacks to get my overdrive tone, which works very well.
 
Trondheim Audio SkarBassOne seems to be a nice one pedal solution for having good compression and great overdrive... Would like to try this baby out!

I want the compression pedal with the ginger superhero on it but don’t know that I can justify it given that I already have a Boss CS-2 I bought new back in 1989 (shortly after many Bass Arena members were born).

With that said I am tempted by the EH Super Pulsar-

What’s the compressor with the ginger superhero?

Wounded Paw Battering Ram surely was around before Darkglass

Surely as in maybe, possibly

That was a while back- I’ll have to find the post- the pedal is currently at a friend’s studio or I’d tell you now-
