Sounds amazing, But i'd rather wait for the Ultra version. Hopefully it has Blend, Cab-sim and Growl as well as a more extensive EQ section. Would be the ultimate preamp/DI.
I know this is 4 years old, but hope you see this question. So this model does not have a cab sim in it? My bass player was hoping to use this direct to the PA and set it clean’ish for his main tone.
Este pedal da muchas opciones para jugar y sacar sonidos, estoy pensando en cambiar mi vintage ultra por este, me parece un poco más versatil, gran pedal, felicidades douglas y compañia!
Not exactly, blend will change the ratio of processed/unprocessed signal and what you obtain is part of the sound going unprocessed through the pedal and part processed. High and Low level looks more like filters so that only some frequencies are affected by distortion. But I could be wrong, I don't own this pedal
This is the 4th vid where the "X" takes away from the bass's natural character. This particular multiband design is coloring the signal too much for me. Would probably work best for the djent side of things. A clean signal with pedal off vs pedal on would've helped compare. I wish one of these guys would review the tech21 DP-3X. Anyway, thorough job of displaying the controls
Ive been using the X7 for a few weeks with my Dingwall Combustion, while I do agree that this pedal "colors" the tone, I really think of it as emphasizing the certain mid range frequencies. I will be taking my Warwick down to test to double check this theory and will let ya know if I think it makes my Warwick and Dingwall sound the same. They are two very different sounding instruments, so I believe it will be a good comparison. DM me if i forget to update, I smoke alot of weed.
@@youngmike8645 Still using the X7 with my Dingwall. Never got around to bringing my Warwick around... lol. But I still agree it colors the sound by emphasizing certain frequency bands. That being said, its still on my board, and always on, even for my clean tones.
i love the idea of this pedal but i hate how it sounds. its too clanky, too harsh, too fizzy i dont know. it seems like its made for a single specific tone; that djent scooped distorted bass sound.
@@ChrisKollias Ive got a B7K Ultra. And know it well. The new pedal has more control over blend. And a one knob compressor. As I said - not worth an upgrade - unless you are a fanboy.
Clanky and nasty sounding in most settings? No thanks, yuck dude... And most every bass played thru it gets colored WAY too much. Like seriously everything sounds the same, tin can bass tone w most basses. I've heard alotta basses thru these POTENTIAL tone destroyers...USE W CAUTION KIDS.
I like how the low-end stays smooth regardless of how crunchy the top is.
DUDE THAT FIRST CLIP OF YOU SLAPPING!!!!! HOT DAMN!
Thanks a lot Patrick!
Great pretty thorough demo....love that Dolphin bass.
Cheers!
Chris in absolute BEAST MODE 🖤🔥🤘
Rawr ! :P
Omg that Beast string sounds wicked. Your playing is top notch also, great vid and demo
Thank you very much !

@@NickfromHighTide This doesn't. The ultra does. But X and X7 do not. I think the XLR out might have a bit of a high rolloff though like a cab.
Excellent demo, thank you
Is there a cab sim/filter on the XLR output? The difference between "output" and "xlr" is pretty big in my opinion... (9:52min)
Michael Großeschallau Doug has put a bandpass filter to emulate a cabinet, somewhat, on the XLR

Thank you
Awesome!!!
Great Demo! But Without “Blend”... maybe an good option for cheap basses . For now I'll stay with my b7ku and aou.
"High level" and "Low level" are the same as "Blend", aren't they?

High and Low level looks more like filters so that only some frequencies are affected by distortion. But I could be wrong, I don't own this pedal
The low level is clean low end sound while the high level is only affected by the high drive knob
This is far more sophisticated than simple blending. Finally what everybody does in the studio in a small box.
What's the 2nde bass line you play ???? (after slap)
oh my gosh, this slappin, wtf, amazing man
Amazing sound!! Dumb question but does this put out a decent clean tone as well?
I have had one for a few years, in my experience I have been unable to a great clean tone out of it.
Awesome demo, chris... sounds killer. \m/ I was thinking about buying that pedal. that or the microtubes x.
Is the tone just straight pedal? I’m trying to figure out how to EQ this with the Microtubes 900 amp.
Can this pedal do a clean tone? Say if I want the option to use the EQ to tone shape my clean sound.
Nope
I might be wrong but I think a fret wrap would have been useful while recording the bass performance in this video.

I disagree, all I hear is straight Warwick tone. that pedal is only adding color.

Did you record only output with miced cab? Or how did you record xlr and output?
Tab please :)
I'm a simplistic guy, I see a Dolphin Pro bass, I click the video
I want this pedal so bad already have an alpha omicron but the x7 is exactly what i want please gimme!!!!!!
This pedal blended with the Alpha Omega is amazing. '
Why use 2 compressors in your first setting?
Oh come on Darkglass... Now I have to sell my other kidney, and don't get me started on Hyper Luminal Compressor!
@@reefersutherland4265 It was a joke, I really do like ther products, as I have Alpha Omega Ultra and I'm quite satisfied.
Ive been playing for 25 years and Darkglass is the sickness when it comes to bass tone

it just sounds like a B7k - why upgrade(downgrade)?
I doubt you can get the same variety of sounds with a B7K to be honest and I have been a fan since 2013

Now try it with a cheap bass!
Angel Montenegro why? Any pedal is only as good as the bass going into it, and this is meant to be a demo😉
@@jobelewis6416 lots of ppl like me have inexpensive basses and would like to hear the pedal played thru one.
I think your bass guitar needs new strings
i agree its the best bass pedal but man 330 bucks
Clanky and nasty sounding in most settings? No thanks, yuck dude... And most every bass played thru it gets colored WAY too much.
Like seriously everything sounds the same, tin can bass tone w most basses.
I've heard alotta basses thru these POTENTIAL tone destroyers...USE W CAUTION KIDS.
That's the sound that cuts through a dense mix. Solo it sounds very harsh, in a mix it sounds amazing
Meh - sounds super compressed.
Don't what so ever play Tool if you don't fully know it!!!!!!!!
not worth the cost
just sounds awful. all of it
Then click off and go find another video instead of complaining constantly
