I like the presentation of this video - no hype, no fake excitement. Just the facts and your opinions.

Wow, Hondo! I so really like your bass sound in the bonus jam. Such a fat lovely bass. I wonder how much of the sound is shaped by the instrument and how much by the preamp, eventually? Any hints on this - what do you think? Heard the neat bonus jam a dozen times by now. The sound (its frequency structure) makes the track so desirable and for me is a very good example of how the attractiveness of a track is fueled by an appealing sound of its instruments and besides the composition is so having a substantial impact on the track. Find this often underestimated, but it's of course also very subjective, though. Got here from Janek's channel and - I like it here! Trying to define a bass sound I do like and have to say, this video helped me to getting closer ...

Nice! Still watching.

not gonna lie... the last few seconds of the rattler into the redstone instantly sold me. that is exactly how i want my rats to sound and i didnt even know it until now haha

I think I like the Super 300 better.

I was super impressed with this pedal and your review! Thank you! I purchased one.

For those who are worrying it doesn’t sound nice- the isolated sound is not really how you would judge this but in the mix you will be surprised how versatile this type of tone shaping flexibility will help your overall band sound good. Will keep in my watchlist interesting pedal!

HONDO! where you at bro?!

Missing some new content from you. By far the best bass gear demos and reviews on YT. Hope all is well.

Thanks Bro! I really appreciate that you have demonstrated this pedal, because I have the Pork&Pickle and it is only okay and it does not have a lot of bottom end. I listened to their demo when it came out and I was impressed but I think that the video was very well orchestrated with the theatrics of a western vibe. And at the end of the video they pour some BQ sauce on it. We have winner, so I thought? Well the MXR Is pretty awesome and takes care of that issue. ✌️🤙

Sounds killer! Really like the version you have here, but having difficulty finding one like that on the market. What version do you have? Also, I have an Eden WTDI. It gives great low end, but I'm wondering, do you think this would sound better after the DI to give it some edge and make it sound less sterile and round off the edges, or before the DI to kind of overdrive it? Thanks. Awesome video!

Nice job Hondo peace

Damn that sounds nice. Great demo

Great review! Such a shame they don't now (MBD3 is a great new version - still) have a smaller footprint like the MBD2. This video really helped me decide and camp out on ebay, reverb, and others to look into getting it. You were NOT kidding about the old school to the teeth rattling possibilities. Thanks, all great riffs!

Nice video. Could you tell me what kind of flats the bass is wearing?

A genuinely great video. So much important detail that people commonly overlook.

Perfect review! Thank you!!

Beautiful bass and great tone! The background music is amazing and the bass sounds fantastic in the mix!!!

I’d like to see one on the master effects super 800+

Great Job man. How do you track your bass? Are you doubling, or is it one performance panned? Thx

I want this pedal

Great playing from everybody!

Your video and description were spot-on and the reason I'm so happy with this pedal. Very quiet with good power supply as well. Thanks much!

This is a fantastic and comprehensive review!! I now have enough info to make a buying decision on the SV-Pre. Thank you!

Just bought this and subscribed to your channel. Thanks for this great video.

Thank you for not just slapping the bass. You truly showed the entire range of this bass. Amazing and sexy!

New to your channel, nice!

Yeaaah, it fits your style 100%

One of the best reviews of this bass I’ve seen ,I really like how you’re explaining settings as you play 👏👏,, question what is your input on the sire v7 Marcus Miller

That intro was 🔥 🔥 🔥!!! Great work, Hondo!!! Your channel has quickly become my favorite!!

Excellent playing, sir, and another classy video as usual. Love it, my friend. Please, keep it up!

Just found your channel. Bro, you should have WAAAAY more subscribers! I don’t typically do this, but I’ll definitely be sharing your channel for sure. Keep going man, I’m loving it!

Sounds soooo good!!

Just found your channel man and wanted to say you kill it! Love your videos and info! Very professionally well done!! Looking forward to watching more of your stuff man!

Do fender pickguards fit on these?

THANK YOU what a great review, best review of this on youtube.

This was an outstanding video. I was very impressed with the overall production, explanation, background music and ambience. Then of course, the excellent review. Well done!! Impressive.

I got a Mtd 535-24 for sale

That pedal sounds killer 😎🤘🏻🎸 master effects makes such phenomenal pedals. I would totally buy this if I needed a new distortion pedal. I also liked the super 800(since I’m a huge gk fan) and I would buy that too if I needed a new preamp pedal.

Awesome clip 😎🤘🏻🎸 that preamp pedal sounds pretty cool. Especially with distortion pedals. And I personally think preamp pedals sounds better with cab simulators. It makes it sound smoother and more presentable in the band mix. I’ve been checking out other preamp pedals made by master effects and I would totally purchase the super 800(especially since I’m a long time gk player). Other than that. This is a great sounding preamp pedal.

Awesome, but there is something I don’t get…the Mid Frequency Selection affects the tone even tho the mid level is flat ? How is that ? Isn’t it supposed to be minimal ?

I like this.How did i miss it? Keep your chin up, I'm the driver of the struggle bus.

What a great video, Hondo! I've been using the Empress Bass Compressor for a few months and, as you said, the manual is really great and makes understanding what looks like a complicated pedal feel very user friendly and easy to understand. With that said, this video will be a great resource for folks who learn better by watching something like this than reading a manual. You explain everything really well and provide some useful inspiration with your playing. Nice shout on the Benn Jordan video too!

Wow…that’s pretty much a Swiss knife of fuzz.

The post setting on the EBS especially feels so much more colorful and wet. Got one of these getting here tomorrow and I’m excited to try it. You were running the Edison last thing before your amp here or was it in the loop? Also Happy Thanksgiving!

Have you tried the Spaceman Saturn VI yet? If so, what contrasts or comparisons might you draw between them?

Fantastic video demo 🙌🏿👌🏿 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

will it drive a power amp by its self?

How does it balance on a strap? Neck dive?
