The Great Bass Preamp/DI Comparison

[TonyP-]

The basswitch is one I would have already owned and tried if not for the size. Same with the Trilobite.

I like that the Trilobite has a completely separate channel. Units like that are worth building a board around "it" actually.
I'm going to check out the Minnow.

Bingo. The size has become irrelevant to me.

I've got another Minnow coming. These are the only thing I've tried that could give and possible even kick the Nordie off my board.

Wow, I really like the one JHS product in my possession, an older Pandamonium.

What are some folks hearing about JHS that has them so turned off?

I've heard enough negative things about JHS to stay away from the CBox unfortunately.

With the Arkham Oracle for my main tone, the Trilobite might be interesting using the Oracle plugged into one channel, and then the other channel run completely clean.

That would be a big board though, with the LA-1A, Oracle, Trilobite, and RNDI.

However, I could have a sterile clean channel and then a tube channel with a little saturation or very light overdrive.

Not sure it's worth it for me.

 

[scubaduba]

Wow! Yeah, that might be overkill but crazy cool. I think you could get away without the RNDI though. The DI out on the Trilobite sounds fantastic IMHO. I do have a RNDI too.

Oooh! The simplifier! Definitely curious to hear your thoughts on that one. It seems awfully small for as much as it can do.

 

[scubaduba]

It is small and I like it a lot.

It is small and I like it a lot.

That’s all I get?! Come on! Lol.

 

[MascisMan]

Does it do bass stuff?

 

[scubaduba]

In spades.

 

[jacoby75]

In spades.

It makes the boom boom?

Looks like a lot of knobs and switches. This ole Tennessee hillbilly may not be able to figure it out!

Wait until you get to the part of the video where he splits the signal into two parallel loops or something, and is using a looper pedal. It makes my brain hurt.

 

[kesslari]

I'm really surprised at how small it is. It's like the anti-trilobite. The Amonite.

 

[BassBeginer64]

Oh boy another tube DI from Mark Bass - too many dang choices these days

 

[Nicholas Orick]

What do you all think about the Neve RNDI, A Design REDDI, and the Countryman?

The Simplifier Bass Station looks really good.

I like to Bi-Amp running a Clean Bottom and a Dirty Top and the Simplifier Bass Station looks like it can do what I want it to do.

Notice you the two separate EFX routes.

I might try one.
