Master Effects Super 300 Demo
What you hear is what I recorded, no post eq or compression. I use light compression and eq in my pedalboard to achieve my dry sound. I'd like to say that its hard to capture with a mic the feeling of "bigness" this preamp adds to my tone. It adds depth. I also observed how influential the 810 cabinet is in affecting the overall tone; you may not experience similar results with a different cabinet.
The first demos alternate between mic's cabinet and di signals, first with a Fender Precision Bass, and then a Jazz Bass. These two settings are what I would use for a beefed up clean. Both basses have tone wide open, strung with Rotosound stainless.

    Well there ain't no rules but you do know the Boss is a guitar compressor ? ... famously used by Cliff Burton on his bass... your losing a beautiful bassy Jazz tone...if you played in a band the singer would not be happy as your in the same frequency ranges..great for those 10-15 second bass solos...i would go the full hog & get an Ibanez bass with a more modern tone but were all different...i play mostly Fender Jazz's,Precisions & Jaguar bass's but i bought them for the tone..a bass compressor & a MLD DI pre-amp if not allowed to use my Warwick WA300 Class A head & 15" & 12" Ashdown cabs....you would have luvved the alternative bands in the '90's & '00's bud....they all liked guitar pedals on bass guitars then...

    • @joerobot32
      @joerobot32 ปีที่แล้ว

      All you have to do is change a capacitor on the input stage of the circuit for better bass response, which I did a couple years ago. Juan Alderete has been using them for years without much of a problem. The CS-2 isn’t a great comp anyway, it just has good character. My main comp is now an empress. If you think I have the same pedalboard more than ten years later, you’re mistaken. Some pedals are still there, some not. If it sounds good, it is good.

The Empress bass compressor is very good quality, versatile & pretty transparent compared to many other compressors... i use a choice of compressors depending on if i can use an amp head & cab or not.. a Bass Preacher if using my amp with cascaded compression using the good quality compressor built into my Warwick WA300.. if using a pedal board with DI pre-amp i will use a Boss LMB3, took me years to get to know how to use it properly... but very good if used with the right gear.

    I've just purchased the CS-3 & found that the bass sounds more natural & deeper bass with the tone rolled either completely off or just slightly on. The tone thins out the bass when up too high.

      Thanks, just keep in mind that any CS2 you compare to a modern CS3 you should take into account the 35 year old capacitors in the CS2 that are probably not performing as well as they could. The artifacts I was describing in the video are from a new CS3 vs and old CS2. I thought the CS3 was nice on fretless, but sounded like plastic on fretted, just my opinion.

There's a different sweet spot for different combinations! Question: What do you think of the Bright switch? I haven't been able to find a use for that yet. It's kinda bassy and boomy. If I soloed above, say, the seventh fret, I could see using it, but under "normal" circumstances to boost my volume or tone a bit, it hasn't worked. I guess it's meant for distinct solo parts.

I have learned to love the ultra high switch in the on position, tweaking the treble knob to dial in cool, punchy sounds that cut through. I still don’t find much use, if any, for the boost switch.
