  • VIDEO DESCRIPTION & SIGNAL CHAIN INFORMATION:
    Dunlop's MXR design team is proud to present these two members of the award-winning Bass Innovations line, a family of products designed and engineered specifically for bass players.
    The BASS OCTAVE DELUXE actually features two separate sub octave circuits in one pedal that can be mixed together or used individually for a variety of sonic options.
    The "Girth" circuit can be described as a low octave that is voiced with a smooth and deep character whereas the "Growl" circuit creates a voice that contains a greater variety of harmonic overtones, resulting in a low octave that has a more throaty, "snarl" or "grit" to its sound.
    The "Dry" control knob allows the user to dial in the amount of unaffected incoming signal from the instrument, with fully counter-clockwise resulting in only the octave effect being heard to fully clockwise which provides all of the dry signal to be heard along with the sub octave.
    The midrange button ("MID+") when engaged provides for up to +14db of internally adjustable mid frequencies to your incoming "dry" signal. Users can select either 400hz (factory setting) or 850hz to be boosted, the modification being easily performed by way of a switch found inside the pedal.
    Also not visible on the face of the pedal but equally important to note is the proprietary Constant Headroom Technology (CHT) that is in the design of MXR Bass Innovations pedals. The CHT provides for high headroom and superior tracking which effectively addresses two previous weak spots that have plagued older analog octave pedals in the past.
    Paired here with the MXR Bass Envelope Filter (whose in-depth demo can be seen at: • MXR Bass Envelope Filter ), this video provides a glimpse of how these two pedals give bass players of all genres the extreme versatility they need from effect stomp boxes but with the warm, organic, 100% analog tone and the no-nonsense durable housing that is at the heart of every MXR product.

    to all those bass YT experts commenting on mr Tim Lefebvre's so called lack of tightness or ham hands:
    THIS IS HOW FUNK BASS IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND, THIS GUY IS A BOSS, Y'ALL HAVE NO CLUE, SHUT UP AND LEARN
    or just go back to your millions views Get Lucky slap+tapping bass covers, you're not even close to realize how lucky you are to be able to watch this for free...smh

      amen my friend. all of bass-dom has something for everyone. it's not healthy, to one's musical aptitude, to shut anything or anyone out. everyone has validity in their playing style. if diversity wasn't important, everyone would play the same. and that would be boring as shit.
      tim lefebvre's cv speaks for itself. not only that, but he's respected greatly by his peers. his playing is groovy, inspired, and creative. if anyone doubts that, well then maybe they need to check their own sense of groove and re-evaluate.

    I know the description lists that he's using flats...but those are definitely rounds. If anything, you can tell by the shot of the headstock and the lengthwise shot of the neck at the beginning of the vid. But more importantly, the sound (in particular the fret buzz) is definitely that of roundwound strings. I'm not calling Dunlop liars or anything, but I think they might have glossed over that detail (perhaps because he wasn't actually using Dunlop strings???????).

  • @sumeursault

    Dunlop doesn't manufacture a set of half-rounds either. Tim does endorse D'Addario, and they DO produce a set of half-rounds. However, I follow Tim's playing and gear choices pretty closely (he's one of my FAVES...hehe), and I've never heard of him using half-rounds. Frankly, those strings are almost universally poo-pooed by bass players for being a combination of the WORST that rounds and flats have to offer. I'd be extremely surprised if he used them.

  • @timesman14
    @timesman14 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    do not buy a zoom multi. I have two and regret them. they break EASY (not well made) not true bypass, so they have to be on for you to get any sound from your guitar/bass whatever. I don't like them at all.

  • @mattlittlej

    Then you're set until you've got some more experience under your belt. Adding a slew of pedals won't make you better; rather they'll make your flaws more blatant. The most important thing you can give yourself is practice.

    i like flats on guitar, but on bass there's no ticky-tack to it with flats. depends on context and the rest of your rig. i've gotten good bass tone with flats before, you just need hot pickups and a maple neck and bright rig... and hit really hard.

  • @LORDAKIRA2019
    @LORDAKIRA2019 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loved the pedals, but I have some cons with the clip: A): his fly was down. B): he was playing a Fender Presicion. C): he strung it with flats. Flats. FLATS! GODDAMN FUCKIN' FLATS! D): he was playing thru a hybrid amp. 4 the love of fuckin' God, how 'bout a Ricky or a T-Bird or a Warwick? Why not string it with rounds, wonderful rounds? & son of a bitch, use an all-valve amp, like a Fender Super Bassman or Bassman 300 PRO or a Marshall VBA400 or Orange AD200B-MK3 or Peavey VB-3. Or an Ampeg.

    An instrument with some sense of tonal diversity & versatility? & he was playing thru an Aguilar valve pre/solid-state power hybrid amp.........am I missing something? What the hell is the benefit of transistors over valves? Why not a valve amp, & a good 1, like a Peavey VB-3, Marshall VBA400, Laney NexusTUBE, Mesa/Boogie Bass 400+/Buster Bass 200, Sunn 300T, Fender Bassman 300 PRO/Bassman 100T/Super Bassman? I'd even b happy with an Ampeg B-15, SVT-VR, or SVT-2PRO!

    Those definitely weren't rounds. I think they were half-rounds, because they combine the dead, uninspiring, toneless thump of flats, with the fret buzz & finger noise of rounds. Whoever came up with the concept of half-rounds must've worked pretty damn hard 2 b that fuckin' stupid. Also, he was playing a run-o'-the-mill Precision. Why not an American Deluxe Pricision, American Deluxe/Modern Player Jazz, Music Man Stingray HH, Thunderbird, 4001, 4003, 4004, Spector, Alembic, Wal, Warwick?
