Darkglass Harmonic Booster Bass Demo

[@joelspaulding5964]

Booster+Terror was superb in tone. Definitely a positive effect. Love all the great playing. More vids, please.

[@kenh5317]

Excellent demo. Sounds great in the headphones. I really like having a variety of bassists, basses, and tunes.

[@prsman84]

This was exactly the type of review I’ve been looking for this pedal. Other reviews I’ve seen have just been a showcase of the sounds you can get when combined with other DG pedals, which is fine, but I enjoyed hearing your take when combining it with the orange head. I was honestly surprised as well to hear how it completely changed the way your Gibson sounded. Another great review!! 🤘🏼

[@nihalnayak5483]

I think this pedal is meant to be used along with the smaller Darkglass pedals, so that you get the clean tone along with the drive tone. It doesn't really have a point if you have one of the Ultra pedals.

[@lahloonatic]

The ultra pedals have cab sims, and an XLR out. This is SUPER useful when you have flight gigs, so that alpha-Omega Ultra + Harmonic booster combo is KILLER. I use it all the time, with the Supersymmetry compressor.

[@prsman84]

Heyyy I hear ya Jayme coming in hot with the Thrice licks 🤘🏼 That album was soooo good.

[@jackbassII]

My go to amp head is a Mesa M-Pulse 600. While I love the over all tone, never have been satisfied with the high end. It can seem dead to me at times. With this pedal, the highs really sing with out being harsh and it gives a nice boost to the lower mids. Really happy I bought this.

[@T-Hawkeyes]

1:15. Jayme Lewis playing Thrice on a Grabber. Perfection

[@beetsq1968]

T- Hawk thank you. I was trying to figure it out where I heard that riff

[@9999plato]

It's funny how the basses that nobody wanted in the 70s the new generation think are good.

[@T-Hawkeyes]

@@9999plato whats even more funny, is that since my comment, I bought an immaculate 74 alder ripper with brand new Duncan pickups had it set up professionally and sold it with a quickness. I think they look cool but don’t play very well. Not being able to solo the neck is bummer.

[@T-Hawkeyes]

@@9999plato I went out and bought a ripper. The 70's were right. That bass needs a lot of work.

[@Speedster27]

This is such a sick pedal I see the vision

[@Bassmeister_Jay]

Got this on order. It'll be a first for me from Darkglass. I have the DP-3X so was great to see you showing with different pedals. Most of all I'm excited to try it with my Tronographic Rusty Box. Thanks for the video!

[@BassRacerx]

I liked most of the audio tracks with the pedal bypassed.

[@corpsekrusher]

This is my favorite channel.

[@edbutler3]

Nice job on this video. I watched a few reviews when this pedal first came out, and they all seemed to choose very scooped, over-hyped tones to showcase the pedal -- but no tones I'd actually use myself. After seeing your review, I still don't feel like I need one of these on my board, but at least now I think fully understand what it does. 👍

[@loku8507]

That Thrice bit was perfect. I was pretty excited. Not gunna lie

[@juanblanco1371]

That cephalic carnage riff!

[@mtczrnk]

I thought it's sort of mean of Darkglass to justify their pricing with 'boutiqueness' (their drive pedals are so ubiquituous I'm getting tired of their sound), now they come up with luxurious 5-star semi-parametric EQ pedal. We'll get an all-tube mute pedal with a pretentious name very soon, mark my words guys

[@Minnevan]

Lance Schpann it’s like the Apple of bass pedals

[@timbulb]

I've never needed a pedal less.

[@Pancakewaffle95]

That tone difference at the end with the SG is very impressive. Didn’t care for this pedal until this video. Now I’ll have to seriously consider it!

[@beetsq1968]

Love the Thrice covers

[@nihalnayak5483]

5:14 here he says "in this example i'm boosting the treble to bring some life back to the dead strings". Ummm, why not do that on the B7K Ultra itself?

[@taylorhilyard8661]

Jayme with the Thrice!

[@miloszorz2054]

What is the bass at 3:16 ?

[@Thomas.harding]

So does this just let the highs sound brighter ?

[@renatoufo]

Creo que me será de mucha utilidad ! Buen video .

[@alexkessis]

Would you recommend this pedal to go alongside the Tech 21 SH1? Sounds killer with the Dug Pinnick!

[@bassincinerator]

Asking the real question here! I own the tech 21 SH1

[@MrCloud254]

I love old Thrice

[@nostromoalien2]

Got this pedal and getting a microtubes X today. Which way round do you find overall better. I will try bith ways but liekly will run the HB into the X

[@jonathanmatthews6478]

I really think my tastes have changed entirely, I used to love this sort of darkglass tone but it really sounds too similar and thin for me now.

[@fearpocalypse8062]

Can y’all review the new BC RICH basses? They had an overhaul and are now building quality again.

[@PingPongPix]

Do you think a Boss GEB-7 would literally do exactly the same thing???

[@ThrashingBasskill]

Wait a minute... 5:05 you boost about 1kHz just to cut it down again with the vintage pedal?! Wtf?!

[@nihalnayak5483]

LOL. yes looks like it!

[@Jagdpz5]

Eq has different effect based on where it's placed. Push 1k to distort it more then cut it a bit to prevent it from being spikey.

[@cacadordorio]

Wait one year and boo yaaa a deluxe version is out

[@tkw91]

3 years later and still hasn't happened 😂. I'm waiting for a version that has a DI out at least, so I can only use this pedal for my tone, when I want to pack light for a gig and don't intend to use other effects.

[@antonycharest4719]

that grabber tone at 4:55 wow

[@perrysar5954]

Is it safe to say the Boss bass limiter enhancer does the same job?

[@TheBassChannel]

Eeeehhhh. No. But sort of. But no. But maybe, depending on how you use it, but also maybe not...

[@perrysar5954]

@@TheBassChannel Boss $129.00....Darkglass....$400.00

[@stevemcwiggins5958]

Perry Sar Not sure I get your point , the Boss is cheaper so it’s better/same? This Darkglass pedal you are referring to is $200 not $400.

[@EVILbassplayer]

For that exect same reason i use a BBE maximizer for years..

[@Fonztyc]

Thrice!

[@jaaz.handss]

ahhh you uploaded this a week after i traded mine away

[@gcvrsa]

Honestly, I don't see the point of this thing. I'd rather have a B7K Ultra and just not use the distortion. It has much better EQ possibilities.

[@lewisstorer89]

this! Defo seems a superior option than this pedal. Infact, its exactly what Im going to do. I have the X Ultra already. Im going to add the B7K Ultra to that and blend them together using the Radial 2:1 and run out Direct.

[@inevitableveganfuture3915]

I think it looks like a great pedal.....if you don't already have an Ultra. Both together seems like it might be surplus to requirements, but it's a cool way to introduce some DarkGlass into a rig that doesn't have anything else like it.

[@fullhd6598]

but it's cheaper than that pedal $$ :O

[@MutantNetwork]

Is there any sound more badass than a Bass with distortion ?

[@TheBassChannel]

The answer is a resounding “No” 🤘🏻

[@pinkbastard2.080]

Could you guys a video on how to get a good tone with a wah pedal?

[@ap-qn9hw]

wahh seb du grenier fait de la basse !

[@grizelda4526]

Jayme is beast

[@J0T4Z0]

"Darkglass mid cutter" could be the name

[@FalconBass]

Could be the name for every Darkglass product

[@antonycharest4719]

witch frequencies you are earing « cutted » ?

[@mtczrnk]

@@antonycharest4719 johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/Effects/Fuzz-ODs/Darkglass/B3Kfreqtest.jpg Precisely those you can see on the graph, what's noteworthy the "Fat" switch does not restore them. I think those are the frequencies responsible for "farty" sounds when distorted, nevertheless having them heavily cut makes the sound less full-bodied and organic.

[@guiom77]

hello, great video !! i m french, i want the tee shirts but i don t understand how...... sorry can u help me ? see u

[@Metalbass1979]

Don't worry, man. It's ok. You're not alone. I'm French, too. I found out when I was 27. I'm 40 and have finally accepted it. Until that point I had thought I was mostly English because of my last name. 😉

[@guiom77]

merci pour ton grand soutien mister metalbass !!!! a plus

[@Muppio]

Look: I don't need a pre-amp style pedal....but it is made by Darkglass, so i'll probably buy one anyways.

[@RockinRedneck09]

Where would y'all recommend running this in signal chain?

[@TheBassChannel]

As early as possible would probably be a good place to start and see how it feels. I guess it depends on the rest of your chain and what you need it to do.

[@RockinRedneck09]

@@TheBassChannel kind of what I was thinking. Tuner - Compressor - HB or Tuner-HB-Compressor was my original idea

[@TheBassChannel]

Either of those options would work great

[@deadheadsteve532]

Like the reply says - either option is fine. But you have to ask yourself, do you want to compress the boosted frequencies, or boost the compressed frequencies?

Why do all 5 string basses sound like shit???

[@insomniac5627]

it's cool but too expensive..

[@systolic410]

Generally a dislike on the pedal from me. Indistinct/Muddy as a preamp, and overpriced as a boost. IMHO of course.

[@johnraspberry2269]

i dont hear any difference

[@andrejilievski]

Did you lisen on nice pair of headphones or speakers?

[@Spartan87667]

For $250, I don’t see the value in this pedal. Didn’t seem to do much. Not nearly enough to justify the price. Might as well get the vintage ultra or tech 21s VT DI box. 🤷🏼‍♂️😕

[@iliasliakos6692]

all the darkglass pedals sound the same-so if you are in to them-just buy the cheapest one!

[@chriscollins50]
