DARKGLASS - AGGRESSIVELY DISTORTING ADVANCED MACHINE

[@tristancills6442]

this dude's bass face is ultimate

[@AndrejDoms]

You don’t mess with Frank Itt! 🥸

[@ibalrog]

@the3-dkiller1 No no. He looks like he smelled it, and is now engaged in a mighty battle to drive that fart away with THE POWER OF BASS. He is the hero we need.

[@russellzauner]

@@AndrejDoms 3:00 hell no not by the way he treats that knob

[@JoostG1]

German farts

[@NickiTedesco]

Righhhttt??!!! :)

[@vlgi]

Imagine: A security guard enjoying his job as much as Frank enjoys playing the bass, imagine his security guard faces as he looks at monitors, focusses on the shop lifter, he puts a pair of cheap headphones in his pockets, shiftily glances around, and security guard man, has like mad security face.

[@basstheworldofficial]

I would buy that book

[@duncan-rmi]

you both need to get out more.

[@bassclefconnoisseur]

It is said that for bass players tone comes from the fingers... I'm convinced that in Frank's case it is coming from his face. ToneFace. BassFace. FrankFace. BassFaceToneFrank.

[@garysuarez9614]

Your conneseurship is well maintained in this posting, sir.

[@Andrew-qq8fb]

This guy has the best bass fass

[@firesalt]

Gregor, you stuck that sticker on and said "Perfect" and I died, that was hilarious!

[@brianharvey4624]

Frank's face at 3:10: True happiness, possibly the meaning of life.

[@Metalbass1979]

This is the man that should do all of the playing on everything on every channel! Just the grit in his face, alone, makes my tone even grittier.

[@restojon1]

Legend has it that if the police stop him and search him, his pockets contain.... only grit....

[@mightywaffle51]

I really think this is going to set a precedent for not just drive/distortion pedals but for DI pedals in general. It's not entirely unreasonable to assume that once the world gets back to normal and we get live music back, you'll probably see more than a few bassists bring just this and their bass to a gig.

[@Jaketin]

That's very likely! I myself also prefer carrying my instrument and a light pedalboard with a tuner and a Darkglass AOU, than an amp+cab. My back, and the sound guys thanks me!

[@whatsstefon]

Those foot switches scare me though.

[@esposoman]

I've been using a Sansamp straight FOH in most of the gigs I played the last 4 years...

[@mightywaffle51]

@@esposoman I mean same, I love my Bass Driver, but it's also attached to a pedal board and I have my various other pedals as well. My point was this ADAM thing is more similar to like a Line 6 Helix in that you can have all your different channels on one unit, thus eliminating the need for the whole board. That said, I don't think traditional pedals are gonna go by the way side at all. I love clicking em on and off and won't get rid of em for anything, but having more options just means the consumer wins in the end.

[@patrickr12342]

Wie immer, Premium Vorführung mit Humor!!! Satte grooves von Hr.Itt ,vielen Dank.

[@kevinmitchell8650]

Great presentation!!! Conviction and attitude!!! Go for it Frank!!!

[@Basstank]

...deine Art von Humor steht dir echt gut, Gregor...und ich freue mich jedesmal, wenn ich Frank Itt sehe - einfach großartig !! ❤️👍

[@mtbass3413]

If I get one I’m going to name it Frankenface. You guys are two of my favorite people on YT. Thanks for being so awesome and entertaining 😎

[@HondoFelder]

This pedal is great, and killer at more genres than just metal!

[@cestusfr]

3:01 who needs a guitar hero and we got THE bass master! ^__-

[@demetriostsaros]

This guy is my new favorite player. I hope his name is “helmut”, or “udo”.

Frank’s the Ultimate!!!🍻

[@IngwarMuller]

You have to put those Gregor stickers on everything in your studio)

[@basstheworldofficial]

actually I have, they just don't say "Gregor", but actual funny stuff ;) maybe that's a studio tour I should do sometime

[@NickiTedesco]

The best bass face I’ve ever seen :)

Frank for WMBG!!!! (World’s Most Badass Grandpa) 🔥🎸🔥🎶🔥🤟🏿❤️💯🦁🌞

[@ThaRealChuckD]

Wow. These guys definitely know what they're doing with the eq at the forefront. Especially, when you got what?, a quarter of the frequency range of a guitar? Absolutely brilliant.

[@pd4165]

T shirt...excellent. In the description..... gregor is played by Gregor Fris. Does the character that appears on camera not get capitalised? Is it little gregor frissssss?

[@basstheworldofficial]

😂

[@tneumeis]

Frank is the best, thanks. Hiho Gregor, also you are, thanks as well.

[@chrisinglik4115]

Frank Itt rulez!

[@LaziestBassist]

That's the bass face I aspire for

Could you review the Tech 21 Di-2112 please

[@cacadordorio]

If they paid him why not

[@ralphieravioli7258]

Love the Taskmaster shirt, Alex Horne is a genius.

[@bassclefconnoisseur]

All Dollars Are Missing

[@janhenkins]

This pedal is dope! Call it the BFA (Bass Face Enhancer) and be done with it! :-) Frank is also such a bad-ass player - I enjoy his playing very much.

[@markbass354]

GREGOR IS SO JOLLY !!!

[@thorugs2816]

Nice video, cool pedal! Which pickups is that Yamaha BB loaded with?

[@michaelpayne767]

Frank is the best. Ever.

[@BassDissl]

Wie immer ein klasse Video, allerdings hätte ich auch gerne mal gehört, wie Gregor/ADAM halbwegs clean klingt... Gibt es eigentlich noch irgendwo das Buch von Frank, ich glaub es heißt „Thumb Games“ oder so...?

[@restojon1]

That face should be known as "The Frank Stank" from here on lol

[@Hostile_Design]

Haha, this guy makes my day. Not at all because I'm laughing at him, no, but because his enjoyment of the instrument is just so severe it radiates back into the world as good feelz.

[@Jeff13mer]

Just realized what shirt you are wearing. Love me some taskmaster. Love me some bass. Love me some reviews.

[@waynealderman1921]

I want to be this old man in the future. He is my new bass hero.

[@basstheworldofficial]

It’s weird to be referred to as an old man on the internet. Is this how you talk to people on the street? You might want to make yourself aware that content creators read the comments under their videos

[@basstheworldofficial]

But the joke’s on you, your 2nd name literally means “old men” in a common German slang 😉

[@waynealderman1921]

I apologize, I did not intend my comment as disrespectful.

[@basstheworldofficial]

Don’t worry. It’s all good

[@clausmadsen6754]

Sounds 100% like a two-path device.. low frequencies through one distortion path, and higher frequencies through another path with more distortion. Sounds like multi-tracking

[@pd4165]

Surprisingly similar to the Source Audio Wave.

[@Ishkybibble]

I’m just here for Frank Itt

[@JustK009]

[@Ren-X]

Got Stank?

[@MaxRyles]

Can you use it as a preamp going into an amp?? I want the cab sim coming out of the Di but not going into an amp

[@basstheworldofficial]

I believe you can use the outputs on the back for that and setup the path without IR in the app

[@MaxRyles]

[@mikelloyd7103]

I know this isn't the topic of the video, but does anyone know the model of Yamaha in Mr. Itt's hands?

[@jogisweers3124]

Should be a BB-G5S with different pickups.

Or how about the “Gnarly” but it’s pronounced with a London accent so... “Nolly”...?

[@madmaskbass]

i love the story about When Warwick released a new Bass called Altus (or something close to this) and they couldn't use the name so the boss changes it to FNA (ffing not Altus)...So it should be called FNADAM!

Nolly is not a bass icon. Periphery is well-known in one scene and thats it.

[@basstheworldofficial]

his track record expands way beyond his work with Periphery

[@ericeastman2427]

Sounds like the other darkglass overrated solid state stuff it does have a nice dense sound but would sound so much better if they added two 12AX7 tubes in it

[@basstheworldofficial]

That wouldn’t add anything in such a digital unit

Without the stank face he's a below average player, once the face is applied he becomes a four string madman.

Only from youtube and commercial commercial Some special playing bass in his band? Maybe some Historic melody which is every one know?? Stop saying b.... shit. He is good standard bassplayer not less or more.

[@jakecrawford3106]

He essentially invented a bass tone that is now the gold standard for a thousands of metal bands...he collaborated with Dingwall on a signature bass that is insanely popular...he’s produced some of the most pristine sounding metal albums of the last decade from some of the biggest artists in the genre... You’re completely allowed to not like his work but you really can’t deny his influence on the bass/metal community.

[@Infectedbyevil]

@@jakecrawford3106 many death/trash bass players made the brutal aggressive bass tone . When he was little boy. So foy youtube children he can be a legend. Listen for death /black /trash metal from early 90 and 00 , it will open new world for you, and you will see/hear who was idol for Adam.
