PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

a.) LOOP 1: Diamond Bass Comp >> One Control Crimson Red Bass Preamp
How do you like the One Control Crimson Red Bass Preamp? I've listened to the various clips out there and really like what I hear, but haven't seen many turn up around here. That combo (Diamond + Crimson Red) is exactly what I would have then as well. Seems like a good pairing.

I probably lack the prosaic finesse to truly describe "the sound," but the Diamond/Crimson Red combination is probably the greatest tone shaping pairing I've ever discovered. The Diamond adds a certain tonal magic to its compression that is augmented by the Crimson Red, particularly the Brilliance knob. I prefer a thick, sine wave-like tone across my fretboard (pure and deep, much like a "C" played at the eighth fret on the E-String - similar to John Paul Jones on Led Zeppelin I). The two pedals, acting as one unit, make this tone possible, even at the lowest frets. Together, they sing.

Best,
