We need a LeBass vs. Sansamp vs. Darkglass :*
+kampfnudel22 yep
+kampfnudel22 yep
My thoughts exactly!
I've Played all three (Had the RBI, B7K Ultra came to my studio a few months ago, I own and use the LeBass since it came out) the Lebass is a bit more scoopy than the rest, something between fender bassman and Mesa 400+. the sansamp and B7K are more "SVT" ish. all are great. The reason I keep the LeBass is the cold fusion mode, it spares me a dry/wet setup and nothing else sounds like it.
vs free vst :D
Hard to gauge the effects of the pedal when the guys playing slap so much. would have loved to have heard more finger or pick playing.
Im not even a musician but yet I still find myself watching these videos, your just entertaining to watch sir
Nice work - Would be cool to see a Le Bass vs Darkglass B7K Ultra comparison.
and vs Sansamp
Was thinking of the exact same thing.
Wait, is Glen proud of something bass related? Holy shit, hell froze over!
I was gonna comment the same thing 😂😂😂
Bass player will still be able to make it sound like shit
get a new one then!
Glenn, when you made this vid you could see just how proud you are of this pedal! Lol it's awesome you truly love that thing. I might have to buy one now
How does it compare to the Darkglass B7K you reviewed earlier? From what I can hear from TH-cam - I dig the B7K more. What are your preferences, Glenn?
Got one of these and love it. Fried it with reverse polarity but the tech support was kind enough to just tell me which components to replace and it works great.
Really seems like everything Two Notes puts out is gold, nice review! The le bass tones in monocles and moon in the water are great
I'm getting one next week. Can't wait
the presence of Siegfried's voice = instant goosebumps
Have you heard the TECH-21 bass fly rig? It was on the floor at the winter NAMM this year, and sounded amazing. Wouldn't mind seeing you do a review of that soon.
Wow what fresh and inventive bass riffs! I've never heard anything like that before!
I think I still prefer Darkglass. But came to realise all I need is a cranked 1176. Heard it on a couple videos, tried vst version on a couple of my tracks, loved it. Is there a hardware version of this compessor (pedal/rack or whatever) in 200-300$ range?
Hey Glenn. I know you've probably covered it some, but I was wondering if you could do a video going deeper into detail when it comes to promoting a gig and/or techniques when it comes to selling tickets?
Damn dude, i can't over that guys awesome vocals.
I still can't believe that somebody thought you should fuck with such an awesome performance by using Autoshit.
Niiiice! I LOVE the Torpedo Wall of Sound plugin by Two Notes and have been looking for something to use for bass. I was using some of the models from the PODXT Live but was never really happy with those. This sounds fantastic! I wonder if this could be used with the power amp sims in Wall of Sound (I think they support bass)
Where would you rank the Le Bass in comparison to the DarkGlass B7K?
Love your content
Hey Glynn,
Great review.
One question: Can this unit be used as a Bass DI? Would it sound good? Or do I still need to buy a separate DI?
What do you think of the DI on this unit?
To record bass directly to my interface... I need the LE BASS and the Torpedo live, correct? it doesnt have cab and amp simulation, am I right?
Iván Sandoval It does have a Speaker simulation actually.
how good is it? I wrote to two notes support dpt.. they told me that if I have the torpedo live.. I should use it for power amp-cab and mic simulation.
are you going to try and review their other stuff? I would love to see a review on the Torpedo C.A.B. and their other Le- series
I wish Le preamps had a blend control for the effects loop. Seems like something that would be really useful, especially for bass where effects can thin the lows to oblivion.
Hot fusion cascades channel A into channel B.
Cold fusion runs the two channels in parallel, which gives it more clarity.
Just to clarify the slight error in the explanation
I got the Hartke Bass attack for recording and i Loving it.
duuuude 4 channels, loved it! please do a mix basics tutorials! (and it wouldn't hurt if you share some presets!)
How does it sound with a Muff or LSTR? Using a DI box or the DI out of my bassist's tube amp always sounds halfway between jigsaw and shit. Micing up his 6x10 sounds awesome btw, great for a thunderous Doom/Stoner sound.
Hi Glenn
What cab do you reccomend for metal?
I have Marshall dsl 15h
Greetings from chile
Sorry for the bad english
Hey Glen I know you have had similar praise to the dark glass B7K. Which do you prefer? and maybe a shootout in the future?
I love the singer's style at 3:12, how do you get a grungy sound like that?
Hey Glenn, what do you think about their other devices from Le preamp range? I am thinking about buying LeLead preamp and hooking it to the input of my audio interface (Focusrite 6i6). I am using guitar amp sims, so do you think that this will improve sound of guitar?
Hey, as a bass player. Is there any chance on getting a review of the Gallien Krueger Plex Preamp? Both the two notes and the GK are at the same price. I'm still trying to decide which one to buy.
during the channel demos were you using the cab sim?
Have you ever used the Darkglass B7K? What do you think of it? How does it compare to the Le Bass?
I was really disappointed that the windex wasn't set dressing. I spotted it straight away when you were demonstrating the clean tone. I was waiting to see what you'd use as things got dirtier!
Hot fusion shot. Btw, chapman explorer is not available on chapman products list. Any clue guys?
Really glad to see you've given Sweetwater another go. I've been dealing with them almost exclusively for the past two years because of how good their service has been.
Hey glen have you notice any noise level from this unit in DI or output?
I bought mine two or three days ago and I'm getting quite a bit of noise from it, even when nothing else is plugged in and gain is pretty low. Does this happen to you?
Glenn, I called Sweetwater and told them about your issue 10 years ago, I am glad they fixed the problem.
Hey Glen! Im currently comparing the Le Bass against the B7K for a mid to high gain metalbass tone. In other comparisons, I thought the Le Bass has less clarity than the B7K. We play Metalcore - Djent tuned to "undjenty" drop c :P Im looking for something good, but I am afraid that the B7K sounds too much like everybody else nowadays. Whats your opinion? Cheers!
Does the DI output mean it functions also as a DI box?
Nice review Sir, always appreciate a good review on kit.
Just a note to guys in bands playing (bass), I did one of those Festivals (too many bands in one day,but your not signed so your supposed to Share Equipment (amps) Right, got totally screwed by a level of douche-Rocketry never before seen.
So, I ended up having to go DI from my sansamp and it worked like a beast, sounded great on stage and great "out front" but having the ability to dial in a little "dirt" to the sound without trying to chain a Dist. pedal sounds awesome.
Again,Thanks for the Review Sir, will put this on my "next purchase" list. Cheers.
LeBass vs Darkglass? I'm not looking to replace my B7K, but I'd love to hear a shootout between the two.
I think this the only video you didn't bash bass players in! I missed it!
can you put the di into pre amp then straight interface, only 8months in here guys.
Could you do a comparison to the dark glass?
What about the Laney Ironheart IRT-PULSE?
Any chance on a video pairing the Le Bass with le Darkglass B7K? I'm thinking you could do a lot using the parallel outs/ins of both preamps to create divine tones. #onecanhope #noticemeglenn
This is pretty much my bass setup (Peavey Mark 4 with distortion pedal on channel B) in one pedal, nice :D
Cold Fusion = Channel A & B in parallel (Fusion knob blends in Channel A)
Hot Fusion = Channel A & B in serial (Fusion knob sets how much Channel A drives Channel B )
Did you ever tried the Eden WTDI Direct Box/Preamp ?
Glenn, can we have a dry signal, please. Need a reference point.
I'm thinking of buying the BluGuitar Amp One. I want to believe that it's an outstanding piece of gear that takes no space at all. What are your thoughts if you have heard of it. I would like a Honest Gear Review. Keep up the good work!
i cant seem to find anywhere that will ship a le bass to canada, and i bet if i do it wont be cheap.
The hot fusion mode reminds me of the bass tone for "Night Goat" by Melvins.
Does it allow custom IR loading?
Loving the shirt.
How about 2 notes Le Bass vs Dark Glass B7K?
Or DG VMT
That K'thul-Aid t-shirt is badass!
Hey Glenn, have you ever tried using auto-tune on bass guitar ? I'm sure you already know that the nature of low frequencies is such, that it makes it difficult to accurately tune the instrument and keep it in tune. Although, I never tried it myself (don't have a comparable plugin) people say auto-tune on bass really works..
I don't think he did :) My bass guitars actually always stay in tune better than guitars. Long scale does its job.
***** Yeah, using for some odd sound is a good option. Heck, David Maxim Micic autotuned his squeaky chair and turned it into a badass lead.
but then all the harmonics will be fucked up
Maybe you're right if you're using shitty instruments.
My bass stay in tune better than my two guitars, including the intonation and octaves.
Longer scale = success
So do you need to have the Two Notes Torpedo live to get the power amp and bass cab sim or does the DI have that function?
From my understanding, the cab sim button on the side is for the DI and the headphone output. It's basically a "set in stone" cab sim that Two Notes crafted.
For power amp simulation and cab sim (especially for using your own cabs and such), you actually can just use the Torpedo C.A.B. with this, as the Torpedo live is mostly for use as a loadbox and such for tube amps. On the C.A.B., you can use the included cabinets that come with the Le Bass (I think like 16), craft your own sound in their software, and then push that back to C.A.B. to carry with you on the road.
it has a switchable speaker sim for the DI
Okay. Thanks guys.
Holy outputs men!
How do you know that Sweetwater have stepped up their game since the last time you dealt with them, Glenn? Did they get in touch with you?
***** I come here for the smears. Glenn losing his shit is great to watch!
they sent him candy with his order this time.
we need a video abaut le bass vs darkglass!! plss
It seems almost like you would prefer this amp sim as opposite of a real amp? Did I understand correctly? thanks
+Ironfranko it's hardware. When it comes to bass I rarely mic an amp.
What prompted you to quote a price from Sweetwater and say that they have stepped up their game?
Would like to see vocalist from 'moon on the water' cover early sabbath stuff
So, Twonotes LeBass or Sansamp Bass Driver for a "metal" bass ?
That Spector 6-String sounds sweet!
i thought it sounded kinda crappy on the B string :(
Like the back-pedal on Sweetwater, think Glenn realised he had to promote Fluffs gear and that's the only place that stock it. 🙈
Nice 80-210mm lens you have there on table. What made and mount? Why you have it? :)
+Otto's Hobby Channel it's a Canon 70-200 Fd mount. Was top of the line back in the day. I use it for macro work. All the closeups were shot with it.
Nice! I have Tamron 80-210 CF from same era and it looks exactly same as that Canon. It is Adaptall and I have Nikon version. Really good glass.
+Otto's Hobby Channel yeah, I'm a total vintage lens junkie I have many MANY lenses, including 4 anamorphics :)
Ahaa so there's a reason why visual side of your videos are so good. I am also big fan of vintage lenses. Most recent add was Nikkor 135mm f3,5 from 1981. If you like you can watch some photos I have in Flickr. I especially love bokeh with sharp edges from straight aperture blades whitch are really rare on modern lenses. flic.kr/p/JtN7my Like this one. Never had anamorphic lens. I think that perspective control / tilt-shift lens would be more my thing.
Got a novice's request: can we get an episode on phasing and transients, particularly with drums in a mix?
actually the fusion mode works in cascade only in the hot mode. And the cold is a blend!
Yeah. Cold runs the two channels in parallel, hot runs them in series.
Ok, it's not a fearless review, let's go le home guys.
Wow I wish I had some extra cash,I love that cold fusion tone
If you could do a rack mount sansamp RBI that would be great. All The reviews I find online the bass player just turns all the knobs all the way up and it sounds awful. Maybe your next fearless gear review ?
SIR whens ares teh bas shirt come back, i wants haz. plez simple cause am play bass?
joke btw
+Dylan Crano next week hopefully.
nice
Who is that amazing singer?
it's siegfried song, a guy from korea that glenn met at NAMM
Meh. It depends on what you're looking for with your bass style. Personally, I combo the B7K with a separate bass OD pedal. That way I can just use it (the B7K) to drive the low mids (which Darkglass is way better at doing), and have more control over the distortion. It's probably the same concept as "Fusion" on the Le Bass where you have multiple channels, but GODDANG, I personally love the clanky-growl-y-ness of the Darkglass.
I prefer the DK Vintage because it's less scooped and clanky.
2.99 at Sweetwater, FINELy, they reallized us bassplayers dobt wanna spent muny
cause all us bass players are "useless cunts" ...or so his T-shirt says... HAHAHAHA
I bet that guy can sing some pretty sweet Dio.
it is not Ampeg svt2 but if it costs 299 it is still way to expensive, if for the same price You are able to buy tube preamp... Cheers
Does it Djent? 🙃
Did someone get hate mail from Sweetwater after a recent video upload? ;-)
Is this like DSP or analog or what? Killer sound.
+dzamija922 analog
Damn son
This whole pedal range is great, but I can't get over the "le reddit army" name.

+The10000lbGorilla Two Notes is based in France.
SpectreSoundStudios Ok, I didn't realize that. Makes sense.
+The Good Guy quite an ironic name you got there
sansamp need to release the PSA 1 in a pedal, it already is king of the rack now make it fit on a pedal board but dont change anything else!
Anyone try this on baritone guitar?
or regular guitar for that matter
This is more of a commercial than a review, but hey, nice sound demo's. Very nice pedal; but the hot fusion disappointed me; Darkglass does the heavy dirt sounds better IMO.
it probably has a button that freshens bass strings too haha
2:18 Mortician's bass tone
damn i didn't know that you got your shirts from society 6
Would love to see Glenn do a 2016 amp sim shootout, as much as he hates amp sims, would be really cool. He's done a couple, but I'm talking about the lesser knowns out there he may not have hard of. Vadim Taranov makes a great mesa boogie amp sim. I can't even use this pedal for my bass. As fucked up as it is, I can only get the sound I like from Pod Farm. Figures, right? That shit is useless for everything else, so replacing the audio interface is going to destroy my fucking creative efficiency for a while lol
Hey, damn it... where's our DiscoKid ad ???
I like to hear the other pedals. By two notes
sounded great except the sludge aha!
1. It seems rather good BUT you should've used your Jazz Bass for the demo - Spector basses, with their active EMGs (which I personally dislike but to each their own), aren't the best for distorted sound. It gets too "pumped up". Of course you might say "hey, what about Rex Brown and his balls-crushing sound he gets from his Spectors", but afaik he records using all tube Ampeg SVT-IIs cranked up to full fuckocalypse and he's the only exception to the "EMGs+distortion=NO" rule I know. Here, the clean sound was nasal and the distorted tone was much too saturated.
2. 299 USD or CAD? Not a huge difference but a difference nonetheless.
Awesome video, I would like to see some more bass stuff on fearless gear reviews. That bass players like my self can find decent gear and also get made fun of by instead buying the cheapo junk brands because we're all usually fucking cheapskates. Hence why instead of buying new bass strings, we boil them.
Pigtronix Bass Fat Drive does the job for me.
