Bass Bonedo testing SansAmp XB Driver

Thanks for posting this.

The tones with engaged crossover are superior, IMO.

I like the second last one the best (the One with HPF and LPF at 300 Hz)
I liked the slap tone, the one you like and the last one, the last one is a very good djent/nu-metal tone (Darkglass type brutal dist).

Sure sounds great, I’ve never heard him get a bad sound out of any bass or pedal. Knobs look a bit tightly spaced. I am still interested in it. May need to check one out.
Knob spacing isn't as tight as the DP-3X (dUg Pinnick signature pedal)! I agree that the XB is a bit tight with all those knobs and switches, but I definitely wouldn't want the pedal to be any larger. Also, I'm an old-school analog guy... not interested in digital FX where you have to wade thru menus and/or use a phone app.

When it comes to overdrive and bass preamps, I am the same way.
I don't care past that tho, as long as it's got something cool about it.(ex: the Strymon Volante kicks ass with my analog synths, and the JPTR Fernweh is a lot of fun with my bass at times - but even those don't require an app or have any menus)

I'm always hoping Darkglass would have made an analog pedal either combining their overdrives(at least the signal path, like the Tech21 iterations of some of theirs), or they would make a crossover of my sound staple, the VMT(I am on my second one after selling it years ago and realizing it sounded good in every recording I made with it).

So big props to Tech21 still churning out analog goodness.
Even if I am not looking at them at the moment, they are always on my map.
