    Trouble deciding a bass overdrive

    You might also want to check out the DOD Carcosa. I am aware that you mentioned your great fuzz setup. At low gain, I find the Carcosa to have a really tasty driven sound. But as always with personal taste, YMMV

    Vintage drive / Darkglass vs SolidGold vs the world

    Thanks again for your suggestions and opinions. Wanted to share an update how it turned out. Your comments motivated me to go down the rabbit hole once more, but from a different direction. From what I heard in demo videos, I ultimately decided to give the EHX Hot Tubes a try. It seemed to...

    Vintage drive / Darkglass vs SolidGold vs the world

    With your comment in mind, I re-watched various demo videos and noticed that more often the LPF is engaged than not. Presumably, because the earlier Beta versions did not have this option. In the few cases where I could find snippets without the LPF, it is indeed a very bright and transparent...

    Vintage drive / Darkglass vs SolidGold vs the world

    Absolutely, I share your impressions about the SVT top end. I meant to say the B3K has a glassy top end. This might be too much for what I want, as I am on the hunt for "sizzle" 🙂

    Vintage drive / Darkglass vs SolidGold vs the world

    Crazy how pick size impacts the sound…

    I made some similar experiences. I am using quite thick Dunlop Gator Grip 2.0 (greyish black) for years. I like their sound because I get a thick thump when using them. And I find them easy to control and vary the attack. However, I always had a hard time playing really fast with these...

    New MESA BOOGIE release - MESA/Boogie Bass 800D - 800W Bass Amp Head

    Hi everyone! Long time lurker, signed up at some point, but this amp finally made me take part in the discussion:hyper: I was also wondering how this amp compares to the Terror Bass as they have a similar concept of tube preamp, passive tone stack and Class D power. I am aware they are...
