Jesus , this dude can rip it up... more impressed by his playing that anything else!
He's a great player. He got grooves and riffs.
This guy got some serious top notch skills, not sure if it’s worth buying the amp knowing I still need countless hours to sound at least a small chunk like that
It'll make those countless hours fun.
Really? That's an awful right hand technique, dirty af, not precise, out of tempo... uggghh
@@mixbassdj do you mind sharing at what point in the video he is out of tempo?
@@mixbassdj yeah I'd love to know where exactly you think he's off. I sense some jealousy.
@@mixbassdj It's a classic, the guy throwing shade has nothing to show to back it up.
That b7k ultra is brutal
Yeah and it is amazingly versatile!
Best of the bunch imo
Darkglass has been such an awesome thing for us bassists.
Very true. After I heard the X7 I had to have it. 1 year later, no regrets
Do u think it's possible to use this on a guitar like an 8 string lkl
@@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx Never tried. Maybe?
Bro Darkglass change my entire approach on bass . I play guitar too but now I mainly concentrate on bass I mean the tone you can get without losing any dynamics is more than inspiring so yeah man you nail it right on point🎉
@@nicolasbeaudry6158 Amen, I also play guitar and bass but I do tend to like bass a bit more, something about those low tones. My heroes are people like Cliff Burton, Geddy Lee, Steve Harris etc and Darkglass has brought the ability to be heard when you play well into the modern era.
I think the vintage microtubes is the pedal that is totally underrated! You can use it for all kinds of music. Not just metal. I love mine!
I use mine for punk rock and never turn it off.
MESHUGGAH uses it...i will get it...soon
the fucking girth on the tone at 0:23 whilst still remaining so clearly defined has completely sold me on the B7K Ultra
All of these pedals are top-notch and I would be thrilled to own any one of them! That said, here are my ordered preferences:
Microtubes X7 1:11
Microtubes X 4:01
Microtubes BK7 Ultra 0:00
Alpha Omega Ultra 2:12
Vintage Ultra 3:13
Hyper Luminal - In front of all pedals mentioned above. 5:01
when he started playing B7K ultra and mictrotube X my face spontaneously made a childlike grin.holy potatoes,those two are everything a bassist could wish for from his tone.
His Band is called The Hirsch Effekt, Check them out, they are amazing
gonna, right now
did. very dark noise. nothing like this
All are great. I'm casting my vote for the Microtubes X7.
That sound hyped me up
Same here!
Yeah same here!
Me too guy’s
Just bought mine, it arrived today and I can't wait to give it a go and I am not even the bass player in the group lmaoo
Wicked tones and out-of-this world playing! Wonderful!
Wow, definitely was great hearing the distinctions between the pedals. This dude is badass, his band destroys too The Hirsch Effekt.
Now I understand why Darkglass dominates! Amazing sound!
Seriously thinking about trading in my Sansamp for one of the Alpha Omegas. I need something that has bite rather than fuzz when you drive it.
That alpha omega pedal was my favourite too. The sans is always good to keep in the arsenal though. Don't trade it!
@@bigolcobfan I like it because you can DI straight through it and it still sounds wicked, which has saved my life at gigs now & then.
More of a demo of his excellent playing than the pedals.
Is why this track is on MY playlist
That B7K gives you a tone that will level a large city
1:52 Woah! Aight there *Claypool.* 😅 Thought you'd sneak that _Master of Puppets_ shit right on by huh?😉
1:52 master of puppets reference
Why does everyone always beat me to these subtle things
Euro5LX with tone pump or other pre?
Sounds amazing! Great Demo!
Superb playing!
Spector is mega brutal.
Manuel Rodríguez Ureña They are and absolutely the best basses I've ever used
Agreed. Wish I'll be able to afford one some day...
@stefano_ terra I doubt they'll be more affordable than my squier, but thanks for the tip
@stefano_ terra can confirm they sound amazing and not too expensive honestly. Paid 300 for mine and they sound so solid
Manuel Rodríguez Ureña legend 5 owner here 🤟🏻
Thanks for the video, very cool. It would have been nice to hear bass pre pedal to get a sense of the full tonal effect.
About all Spector Basses sound synthetic and mechanical. They have a very tinny, buzzy sound. Thats what i hear every time I plug one in or hear one.
Ordinary Nocturne I disagree, I think most people aren’t used to hearing a bass with a lot of midrange content. It can be less satisfying to listen to but works great in a mix
@@jobelewis6416 absolutely. I play a Fender Tony Franklin signature Precision fretless and I boost all my mids and drop the bass down to 2 or 3....but Spector have a very tight mid sound off the line. Almost bought one a few years back but went with a Jazz Bass instead.....great mids.
You're insane if you don't understand that's how they cut thru the mix. Does Doug Wimbish have a bad tone? And you do understand you have more than enuff onboard EQ to tame their high end right?
Wow...
@@sethnicholls7861 i wouldnt go dramatically overboard like that.
Insane.....possibly. but one way or another....it sounds like a fucking car accident.
Посмотрел кучу видео с разными педалями Darkglass и теперь мне кажется, что все педали довольно универсальны, так что на любой можно получить подходящий тембр. Так и не могу решить, какая для меня лучшая. Хотя склоняюсь к Vintage Ultra либо Microtubes X Ultra (потому что там еще и клёвый компрессор есть!)
I watched a bunch of videos with different Darkglass pedals and now it seems to me that all pedals are quite versatile, so you can get a suitable tone for any. I still can't decide which one is best for me. Although I lean towards Vintage Ultra or Microtubes X Ultra (because there is also a cool compressor there!)
cool playing! insprired me to play again after some months of absence... I own the B7K, Darkglass is the way to go for me for the base sound,
paired with a SWR Goliath Senior which delivers the punch.
the Ultra-Omega and the new DG Compressor are amazing, that Spector is sick tooooooo
Great playing.
Tones and riffs were killer too.
Well The Hirsch Effect just got a new fan. Damn fine playing.
I saw this video about 4 years ago, I investigated darkglass and they seemed very expensive and expensive to buy, after those 4 years I finally have the BK1 darkglass and the Microtubes X7
Is that a Spector euro 5 LX? (If it is, I have the same in blue. Awesome bass)
It looks just like my 90s Spector Euro NS5 (Mine is cherry red and it is indeed an awesome bass)
Spector and darkglass were made for eachother :D
He plays Euros
Vintage Microtubes is when I needed to check which pedal is going on. So good.
That is a refreshing Sound! Not a single one among them with a bad sound. I am gonna buy one of them!
Yesssdd! The alpha omega Were the growl or bite switches engaged?
Questions:
What EMGs are you running in that Spector? 40DC’s? 40P’s? 40J’s?
Are you recording tones directly or is there some sort of amp the pedal is in front of?
What is the preamp? EMG? TonePump? Haz? Darkglass Tone Capsule?
Yes, I'm dying to know these questions too. I have P/J with HAZ. That MTX wins hands down for me!!!
Killer demo 😎🤘🏻🎸 my personal favorites are the microtubes x7 and the vintage ultra.
He looked really satisfied playing the alpha omega :D
just saw this. mad respect. such a baadass player. love my dg mt 900 so much. b7k brutality or fat and warm vintage, so good. i'm lucky to have the 4x10 as well. just sounds increbile. need the hyper liminal!
What?! No Duality love??
I personally use the B7K V2 and absolutely love it.
The X models are savage.
Mine dug a massive hole in the floor, then climbed out and proceeded to spew molten magma while chasing a police car for 3 hours.
This guy looks like a young Rex Brown! His playing is phenomenal
That is some serious bass playing, dude! And excellent tones! 🤘😝
Very cool to hear how these sound in a mix but would have also been sweet to hear how they sound individually too.
Nice vides, though and what a monster player! Technical skill, sure, but loads of groove and creativity too.
Awesome playing and sound. Whats the first track please?
4:00 when the microtubes x kicks in... HOLY GOD!
That riff run at 2:31!!!!
Really cool and helpful video. These boxes sound awesome.
WOW!!!!! You are a treat, sorry if my ignorance of the songs you played are things I should already know or your own, but I really liked them a lot, as specialty the 2nd and 3rd. Any chance you can tell me who they are or how I can hear more.
Thank you. It was very inspiring
He plays in a band called "The Hirsch Effekt". They have lots of stuff on youtube.
lam0r666 thank you i will definitely check it out. Great stuff.
Amazing playing, really nice riffs!
Love all of the Darkglass pedals, B7K stands out in this video for me, awesome tone, also the AlphaOmega. But holy crap this guy.. Mad skills, respect! 🤘🔥 I keep checking this out every once in a while. Reminds me i gotta keep practicing 😂
that X pedal was awesome!
Spector + Darkglass 😍🤩
That's a great job man. Sitting in a factory and playing pedals!!!
Didnt know i needed to add a pedal demo video to my workout playlist
that first test with the B7K is just insanity!
I almost forgot to listen to this today!
Thanks for just playing and not talking about the damn pedals! Great playing as well.
4:01 that pedal is soooooo sexxxyyy.... I need this in my life
very solid right hand , very good demonstration , thanks so much
Wunjo in London has this... I really wanted to demo it but the shop was pretty busy. I'll be getting the Neural DSP plugin version, and the physical when I can
Metal settings always sounds like a giant fret buzz mess to my ears, but I really like the vintage one !
The Woman With No Head that’s because a lot of people just scoop the life out the mids where all the character is
I play metal and I love the vintage microtubes, by far my favourite darkglass pedal ;-)
the point of this style of bass-tone is to fit well within a mix, the bass has barely any character in modern metal mixes as it's purpose to bind the mix together. more often than not, about 50% of what you percieve to be the guitar, is actually the bass. on it's own, metal bass often sounds pretty bad, but in a mixing context, it's absolutely perfect. there's a reason modern metal mixes are so coherent and full-range compared to older productions ;)
@@jobelewis6416 Women with no head?
It’s not just you. All these tones displayed are terrible. Also Spector aren’t the nicest sounding basses out there.
Ok. Love the sounds. I have one question though. What kind of amp are they using? I want to take that into consideration also.
Gunner Rogers No Amp ;) Pedal + Loaded IR (a function that every darkglass pedal have)
Microtubes X is the clear winner! What tuning are you using????
Really nice. Is there cab sim in the chain?
Serious chops dude.
Love the Spector/DG combo.
10/10
These all sound great!!
Would have loved to hear the Mictrotubes B7K Ultra without a pick. I'm gonna check if my music store got one of these to try it.
Olivier Jacquet Bass Practice
It sounds breathtaking....especially when you slap the bass👌🏻
The strings after this playing:
- lights a cigarette
Good music, good playing, good pedals, great demo.
How much do those tones weigh?
MORE!
All of it... all of the weight
As fat as you mom
The bass and pickups are also an important factor. For jazz bass, I prefer vintage ultra. For a more modern sound, like a Spector (is it a Spector?) , the B7K is much , much better.
Awesome demos!
Banging! Loving the tone of the Alpha Omega Ultra! Any one know tune of The Hirch Effect it is from 2.15?
dude, this is absolutely cool! :D
This dude gets in the zone. Some things you can only play when youre in that zone. Its no hey can you just pick this up and play this lol. This guy is great and beginning with that emotion and you feel like you cant play a wrote note.
Great dichotomy with your playing; enjoyed immensely. I have the vintage ultra that I Use through an Orange Crush 50 and a mesa/boogie subway used to play jazz/fusion on a PKF 5 string Fret-less. I love seeing multiple uses for these pedals and multiple styles.
best bass pedal review EVER!!!!! LOVE DARKGLASS!!!
Im very impress about Darkglass B7K Ultra bass demo, I shoud buy one for my Ibanez Sr 505 BM and see how will sound :P
Ilja J Lappin and the J stands for JAMMIN!!
Listened without watching, thé 5th pedal Came on and I immediately turned around to see which pedal it was, thé smal X blew me away 🤘.
I don't know if it is more the Spector bass or the Darkglass pedals...
Christ I wish I could play even half as good as this kid. Maybe my bass will become a coffee table after all.
Rock on my man.
I have a dark glass pedal in my head.people think I am just being weird but I’m not. I speak in dark glass crunch, I see in dark glass distortion, and I hear in dark glass tube amplification.
A/O and Micro X sounds rly cool IMO. Easy to make sound bad if you don't know what you're doing tho.
Awesome bass player and tones! Watching the Darkglass.com website i I just assumed everyone in Finland only knows how to play with a pick! I pick about 30% of the time I wanted to hear other styles before I buy it I'm glad to hear this guy play pick finger and slap
Wow ... yep if the Darkglass only made me sound like this! 🤣 it is a great sound but this guy is seriously skilled.🎶🎸I love the Vintage ultra.
As a guitar player. That B7K sounds ridiculous, I'll definitely be picking that up for my projects.
I'm a freaking fast bass player... ohhh... Never mind!
My bass can't play that fast, I need that pedal.
OK do they make a preamp/DI, Sansamp style? 'Cuz I need DI but those things are sick!
3:28 Throwing away the pick sounds best.
Doug focked this up for me. These pedals had so much potential.
Ok made it past Doug and then this gay stuff at 5:03 started Hoping the other review channels have more insight. Every time there is a new manufacture I’m skeptical.
what IR is loaded onto the b7k?
Do those pedals make you play like that , they do sound relatively the same or it's my lap top
The guy is an absolute monster!!!!!!!
That second tone at 1:11 is what I'm looking for!
Damn Dude!! Skills and Spirit!
That's the funkiest metal bass I've ever heard
Nice. Which Spector bass is this?
Euro 5string
Are the pictures of the pedals the actual settings used for the demos?
Yes
Could you tell me which Bass and which Bass model are you using? Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
That’s a Spector Euro 5 LX
Great playing. What are the tracks he’s playing to? Super bass lines.
Some of the tracks are song of his band "The Hirsch Effekt"
@@anonymus8760 Thanks! Cool tunes.
The Hirsch Effekt - Tardigrada
The Hirsch Effekt - Agnosie
The Hirsch Effekt - Berceuse
;)@@walkingbassline
@@TheHirschEffekt Thank you!
@@TheHirschEffekt Ok so the 1st song is Tardigrada, the 2nd is Agnosie and the 4th is Berceuse. What is the 3rd though?
