As someone new to bass effects and effects in general, your consistent before/after footage and clear-cut interpretations are so welcomed. I don't feel talked down to or lost and instead feel more confident in my waning ignorance. Thanks Amos! Keep em coming!
Awesome demo, Amos. 😎🤘🏻🎸 I have this pedal and it sounds killer. especially when used during recordings. Sounds phenomenal In the mix. With that being said, it sounds awesome with the fender and Yamaha bass.
I have the X7, thing is incredible. I keep the distortion very low personally, but it is an excellent pedal with a surprisingly great compressor. A big help, considering I'm dealing with two very distorted, low tuned guitars.
What I can't understand from the manual is - what happens to the dry signal? For example, if I set the low pass filter to 250 HZ, and the high pass filter to 1 kHZ, does that mean there will be no frequency content between 251 HZ to 999 HZ present in the output? That seems like a devastating mid scoop. So I wonder if I'm misunderstanding. The manual says the low pass filter "controls the cutoff frequency to be mixed back into the high-pass side".
I could be grossly wrong, but I'm going to take a shot at it. With the low pass filter, as in your example, everything below 250 Hertz passes through, and everything above it is distorted. This maintain a clean low-end. On the high end, everything above 1 khz is distorted, and everything below that remains clean.
@@mattjs I think what you are describing is a single circuit with a single high pass/low pass/distortion setting. The low pass knob has a range of 50Hz-500Hz and the high pass is 100Hz to 1Khz. If I set the low pass to 250Hz and the high pass to 750Hz what's happening to 300, 500, 600 or 700Hz? Are they in the output at all? The answer to that is probably no, they aren't there because if they were, why have a separate low pass filter at all? If that's the correct assumption then the low pass circuit probably isn't of great use to people who want to retain their mids? Set it to 499Hz and be done? :-) That's my guess anyway.

Awesome. This is how gear demos should be.

Amos, I love watching your Demos. Keep 'em coming! Toda Raba.
Thanks for the demo Amos! That BB sounds amazing.
Thank you. Love this bass
Still one of my favorite bass pedals.
The only other person that I've seen use a BB was Abe Laboriel. This sounds killer.
I’m not even interested in this pedal but I’ll watch anything you put up. Great demo!
So clean in the tones!!!! Everyone loves a high pass and low pass filter option :-)
If they don’t they SHOULD
I love your songs and sense of humour
So nice I watch it twice
best demo ive seen of this pedal.. maybe the only one with really great tones ;-)
Great review. Love darkglass stuff. Can’t wait to be able to afford a cab and head.

Great demonstrations as always!!

Amos, please tell me an album exists of music like this from you...where can I find it?
Needs more fart pedal.
