Gosh! what a pleasure to find a review like this. That's the best way to showcase a product to reveal its capabilities , with good taste on music and fantastic performance, so good . Watch at least 8 reviews before I found this one from Adam. Thanks, I'm sold .

Awesome review! Super clean playing. What octave pedal did you use in the backing tracks?

@champtampos8408 11 months ago

Great review!

Just wondering, is this an active bass you're using? Thanks!

I'm thinking about picking up a Tidal Waves for funzies. I went the route of the Sonicake B-Factory because of the switchable overdrive, but this seems like more of a 1-1 Sansamp BDDI copy. Nice playing by the way. Real nice.

Nice overview.

Also got the tidal wave. Bought it for some amp less practice. My thoughts on its use for that were middeling. But as a sans amp clone or a sustitute di it seems decent.

I'm considering getting this pedal, I currently am using a Fishman Platinum with the setting to bass, and it's ok.
I'm wondering if this is much better ?
If you have any thoughts because I saw you had a different Fishman pedal in the one clip, but I'm not sure if you ever used the Platinum ?
Great demo, you may have pushed me to buy it, but I'll wait a few days if you answer.
Great chops by the way !!!!!!
Excellent review !!!
Have a great day !
:-)

I'm a little confused on the drive, doesn't seem to affect the sound much. Is it kind of like a gain rather than an overdrive effect?

@andrejacobs6078 7 months ago

Im in doubt between this one and the monomyth. I know its personal but which one would you recommend? I play hard rock and metal. I doubt if i should get this as an always on with an extra distortion for heavier stuff, or the monomyth which maybe can do both, but requiers mor dialing?
