i have for years wondered (and criticized) the need to add distortion/fuzz/dirt onto everything. even if you want distortion, you probably already have a fave dirt pedal that you use. it has never made any sense, so i love seeing this.
It always made sense. You use the distortion to emulate the saturation of a cranked tube amp or just wake up a boring tone. 100% clean bass is so boring
@@itsratso. Really clean uncompressed bass quitar won't cut it next to a produced plug in - check out don't stop now by dua lipa (outrageous bass tone that is all fake). Most classic recordings aren't clean, and that vintage stingray has a sweet preamp tone thats not clean
Hi Gregor!! Love your channel! I live in metro Detroit and it’s because of you that I now own 3 beautiful Mayones basses!!! I didn’t know they existed before your channel! Keep up the great work!!
This preamp is my jam! I own a Kemper, so, there's no way I'm buying one but I love your demo of it all the same. I'm happy it appears that your channel has gained enough to take off. I'll be aiming for the sun along your side!
I use it! I love it! It’s a great DI. I pair it with HX Stomp so that I can get all the sounds I want, but allow this pedal to serve as EQ and give front of house exactly what I want.
Yes. I have - Tuner, origin effects Cali 76 into HX Stomp into the AG pedal. I rarely use the amp and Cab sims in the stomp because I want the AG sound and I have the AG700 head and cab. I want those sounds. But if I plug in direct to house I should still be able to get my same tone. I use the AG pedal for quick eq settings and I like the boosts to get an easy slap tone. Hope this helps.
Finally a preamp that isn’t all about distortion. Love this bass clean !
There are the Aguilar db925 and Sadowsky ...similar
Awe…. How sweet. A father and son bass video. 😊
I'm going to take a mirror into my music area, specifically to practice Frank's bass face.

@@ileutur6863 as I said, I'm pretty sure you and everyone else already has a favorite dirt pedal. and also not everyone finds clean bass "boring".

Yes, this is lovely sounding. I want one. Edit: Holy mother of all good beer, that fretless sound...

Fantastic sounding preamp. Tempted!!!!
It just works well. Sounds like a good option.
That bass face shirt though... Glorious.
I just got one. I like it better than my tone hammer due to the high mid and low mid knobs. You can dial in midrange so much better imo
How was the headphone out? Planning to get the TH preamp V2
@@gsgahag6768 the headphone out is pretty good. im always playing with headphones straight from the pedal
I use it! I love it! It’s a great DI. I pair it with HX Stomp so that I can get all the sounds I want, but allow this pedal to serve as EQ and give front of house exactly what I want.
What is the signal chain order? HX Stomp-AG Preamp pedal?
Yes. I have - Tuner, origin effects Cali 76 into HX Stomp into the AG pedal. I rarely use the amp and Cab sims in the stomp because I want the AG sound and I have the AG700 head and cab.

It's hard to get a bad sound out of this one.
Cool ❤❤❤❤
I’ve got a Tone Hammer, is there much of a difference or is this just the rebadged version?
It’s a different preamp
is not enough with the tone hammer??
I want to know which nylon strings are on the fretless?
LaBella
How much gain per dial......
Nice! Sometimes,…”Simple ” is best!! b(‘_
Buddy?
Dad.
400 euros is really expensive
How does it resonate with different types of wood?
jk just trolling
Is this the most boring bass pedal for 400 € in 2023?🤔
400 euros for a pedal to emphasize the highs and lows? No thanks, I'll get a Bassdriver.
So it does something that literally everything already does and is useless?
Yes,Frank
