I typically use the DCX (EQ mode) > BassRig SV > Cali76 for my clean tone.

New Origin Effects DCX Bass
- Thread starter Derek Williams
- Start date
Ooh that's nice, Matt. Did quick math and that's a $1200 board just with the Origin Effects pedals.
I did for a month or so. I preferred the Subspace overdrive compared to the DCX. Then using the DCX as an EQ after the Subspace i found the sound far too dense for my liking. I soon sold my DCX after that.
I can only say, give it a go. You might like it.

i use my DCX for my overdriven tones. For me, it's one of the best OD's that i have. (it knocked my Broughton Scorpion out of my lineup) and i prefer its OD tone to my OE SV (which is no slouch).
Thanks for responding I currently I have this order Broughton Scorpion > SubSpace > Carcosa considering DCX> Subspace > Fuzz.
You're right though I'll have to try it out.
Ouch! I'm not sure I wanted to know that (and that goes for the rest of my board). But they REALY sound good.
Just scored a Vintage BassRig on the Verb. Looking forward to hooking it up with its’ brethren. Gonna start out simple; DCX into the Cali 76 into the Vintage BassRig. Dial it in, add the Green Halcyon after the DCX, mess with the Cali placement.
The more I play the DCX the more I feel it's more of a tone sweetener than EQ. Just gives you nice variations of basically the same tone, with an added weight and depth that I like. Still seems as thought I still need a para EQ up front, I may move the DCX near my Cali 76 at the end...
Caveman BP1 vs Origin DCX
For those who own both.
Hi all. Looking for cleanish type preamp type pedal. Thinking of the Caveman BP1 Compact or the Bass DCX (into a JDI DI box). Both are based off different studio preamps. I use active basses.
How would you who own both compare them. What do each sort of add to your tone.
Just curious.

BP1 gives me a nice, fairly transparent, clean tone. The DCX gives me EQ and a wide range of gain.
When the DCX is perfectly flat, it's quite flat and doesn't add anything. But the EQ works very well and boosting or cutting bass and treble is all usable. The console-like breakup is also excellent, very dynamic. It's a better value than the Caveman, which I have a hard time recommending for the current price.
What about the Rheingold BP-2 do you still like that pedal and would you recommend it?
My answer will be biased, I've got the Caveman BP1-C and had a DCX.
While i liked the DCX initially, i found it too dense sounding as an EQ and i preferred the Hampstead Subspace for my dirt. I sold it soon after. While the BP1-C is clean and is a great sounding DI. Oh... and the effects loop is an added treat.
Interesting, "dense" sounds like a positive to me, what exactly do you mean by that?
