Damnation Audio Fan/Appreciation Thread

I've been tempted to get a Whirlwind too, simply for more tone shaping, and cutting some of those unusable subs from my rig. I bet the MBD-1 would react really well to the Whirlwind too.

Lately, I've been using the MBD-1 boosted by the Barber Linden EQ, and it sounds soooo good! It's crazy to me just how versatile the MBD-1 is. For blues playing (I have only been using those two pedals), it does the job incredibly well.

I was skeptical, but echoing what others have said, you can really use the MBD-1 for just about any genre.

Anyone tried the Cat/Rat Tail through the Bloop?

Yes, the Bloop eliminates the CatTail's inherent shortcomings, and allows it to finally be able to destroy in the way it should.

Thanks. Yeah the HX really let me cut my board down drastically. I just like the rusty box and it’s tone. It really brings my single to life. I’d been rocking the fx10 > rusty box > B7KU for years now. I’ve actually been considering replacing that trifecta with a whirlwind bass EQ lately. I know EQ can be a very powerful thing but that EQ is something special. You can get so many different tones from it. A lot like a preamp can do. Way more so actually.

I watched a few videos of the RB and yes, it does sound pretty great!

I’ll say it again. Whirlwind Bass Ten Eq eliminated all preamps, darkglass and Rusty Box included. Hands down the best pedal I’ve purchased since Damnation.

In that case I'll take the RB off of your hands if you still have it.

Already sold. Still have the Alpha Ultra up for grabs though.

Rusty Box inbound! I haven't been this excited about a pedal in a while. I loved the tones I was hearing out of it.

Jealous. Feel like I need to buy one. Been hearing too many good things for too long.

Repping the brand!

My band is playing our first show in Chippewa Falls, WI this weekend - and we're currently recording an EP.

My gold MBD-1 is still killing it!

Which one is you?





j/k, you made that easy.

What a perfect gift to arrive home from work to.

Lol, I went to look it up and realized it's an EQ. Good eq points, but no overdrive to be found. I guess I'm keeping my Alpha-Omega still XD
Overdrive is an essential part of my tone, but that's great you found something that works.
(The MBD-1 came the closest to kicking it off my board but it hung in there)

I don’t need my preamp to be my dirt so it works for me. The Alpha Omega Ultra was weak sauce dirt wise anyway.

I have to agree with this statement. I tried the Omicron and thought it was pretty cool. My favorite Darkglass pedal without a doubt. I even planned a spot to put it on my board. Then I A/B’d it with my mbd1...nah lol. Traded.

How is it!?!

The pedal/preamp rig

Into a Crest ProLite 2.0 DSP and a couple fEARful 15 cabs.

GOOD ENOUGH

“Weak sauce”
Lol

I make some awesome bass tones with my Alpha-Omega.

I’m debating on if I should get the Contour or pass.
The EQ points mentioned are similar to what I have available with the Busters EQ.

 

[Musicman1901]

How is it!?!

It’s pretty b**chin. It’s got a super aggressive tone. Just sounds mean...angry. I dig it. I had a long day at work today and just didn’t have it in my to do a demo but I will be doing one tomorrow after work and I’ll get it posted tomorrow night!

@father of fires what exactly does the depth switch do? It is a pretty drastic change when I flip it, very unique. I was curious what it’s acgually doing from a technical standpoint. Also, just out of curiosity how many of these were built? I noticed my box is labeled with the # it is of the build, just wondered how many there were.
Thanks Jeff, killer work once again
