Even if Mr. Billy may not use it all the time nowadays, I really love what this pedal does for my playing since purchased early last year. Absolute winner! Very happy he and EBS partnered up for this great little pedal. Even the built-in compressor sounds fine, so in a pinch, one could do much worse than just using this alone (though I generally use a separate one.) The loops are the most amazing feature, allowing you to experinent and customize your sound in so many unique ways. Maybe one of these days, I'll try switching out the op-amp, though the stock one is fine, and differences are subtle from what I have heard. I almost always use this dual channel drive pedal, and highly recommend it-for overdrive pedals, a much better solution (IMHO) than a blend knob. Its drive sounds lovely on its own, but one can easily use other drive pedals on its chain as well. A wonderful pedal to be sure. Thanks so much for bringing it up to others' attention! And best wishes-great work with Mr. Billy's interview I believe you did. 🙏
I typically use this one mainly for some low gain growl (drive at 0, tone at 1 o clock, hi-mode) - but you can really get about any type of bass distortion out of this one!
@@erikarko Well, I expected that explaination. On the other hand. Billy Sheehan said in one of his interviews. He wanted to have a pedal that he can take on a flight etc. and is able to gig alone with and have his sound. I would always need to have a DI in that situation. Look at other vendors (Tech21, Darkglass). They all bring out versions with DI of their products. So with a third version, and with the price tag to this unit, I think a DI Out would have been possible for EBS. I had Version 1 and Version 2. But I will not buy another such unit 'till there is a DI-Out ... so maybe Version 4 will have it :-) ... we will see.
nice demo bro,what do you think of the pedal? im close to pulling the trigger on it i love the fact it splits the signal clean and distorted and you dont lose bass when your in distorted mode
@@erikarko hey bro just wanted to let you know i pulled the trigger i have been messing with it and took it to rehearsel for the first time i run an svt and 810 it sounds wicked also wanted to let you know the chip in the back there are some for sale on ebay that are upgrades for the rat distortion pedal i switched it out to see how it sounds and its un fucking believable so i just wanted to throw that out to you,us bass players have to stick together ok bro peace to you and thanks

Hi eric, what is your best settings on this pedal? Tx

I am a bit disappointed that now we have the third version of the Billy Sheehan pedal and still it does not have a DI-Out.
Klaus Hansert Well, it’s mainly a distortion pedal and not a preamp - so I guess that explains that :)

Vad är det för strängar på basen? Var får man tag på katt-dekaler?
Rotosound Billy Sheehan signature set. Klistermärkena föreställandes svarta katter är köpta i Frankrike. De övriga i Tokyo :)
