Digitech Bass Synth Wah Pedal Demo - Dan Leggatt

[@ampthebassplayer]

I have watched countless videos on this pedal over the years, and this is probably the best combination demo/explanation video I've come across. Well done, my friend! And don't feel bad about just using the octave function. That's about all it got used for on my board for 8 years or so.

[@DanLeggatt]

Cheers man! Thanks for checking out the vid and taking the time to comment 👍

[@williamclifford340]

Way to go! Thanks for talking about the controls and how they change. I feel so many people don’t take time to understand them and say it must be only good for “laser” sounds

Really nice review! It also has an sim cab option. If you depress the pedal while you plug the power supply in, it turns on a cab simulator

[@DanLeggatt]

That I didn’t know! Thanks for the tip

[@foreverfuturebound]

Here because of Daft Punk, awesome video!

[@DanLeggatt]

Cheers 👍

[@enter_eagle]

I just bought one, and youre the first result for bass synth wah tutorial

[@DanLeggatt]

Enjoy the new pedal!

[@braindeadtoo]

I totally agree with all the positive comments below. Although it doesn't have a mix control in all modes, it does have separate wet and dry outputs.

[@DoubleAAmazin]

bruh i just found one of these for 4 dollars at a thrift store, makes me wanna play bass all day its freaking amazing

[@flatgroundtv7097]

The best review on KZbin ✊🏽

[@doinkdoink849]

Just bought one for my guitar, great demo

[@DanLeggatt]

Enjoy the new pedal 👍

[@BlackRootsAcademyOfSoul]

Very nice review, thanks 👌🏿 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤

[@crocholiday]

Great tutorial! I picked one of these up a few years ago used. It's pretty mysterious if you don't have a manual. It does make a fun bunch of sounds but not all are practical. I really only used it for the octave only too haha. I agree, a dry mix would be handy as some of those get pretty wild. I picked up an LS-2 pedal that will let me mix effect / dry tone. I may have to mess with it again.

[@bertvanderbeken3083]

Best review is saw on the Bass Synth Wah. Thank you for letting me dust mine off!

[@DanLeggatt]

Thanks man, certainly some cool sounds in there!

[@thesisters1349]

I have owned this pedal for years. This is by far the best explanation I have ever seen of the controls. Well done! I used to use it in a GB band I was in for pop/dance tunes that used synth bass on the recording. It sounds killer through a house PA! Other bass players would freak out when I put it on.

[@DanLeggatt]

Cheers! Oh man, through a PA this thing can get earth shattering 😂 Whats your favourite mode?

[@thesisters1349]

@@DanLeggatt I would use the synth mode thats the fuzziest, I don't remember the number, for synth tracks. I will use the clean octave down, that's probably my favorite. Also on my board I have an old DOD Octoplus. I use that for octave only no clean. This pedal is the bomb... I also like the envelope with the sub. It can get nice and gritty with a humbucker bass...

[@freddiesoverbite6162]

That stingray sounds freakin killer man.

[@alanredversangel]

Best demo of this pedal I've seen. Thanks. Im playing a dep bass set soon and i want the synth type sound for Let's Dance so hopefully this pedal can do it.

[@mercerfamilyadventures4613]

My research has lead me here. Over many years of f in about on synths and bitcrusher to get the d punk sound. It was simply a digitech pedal. Love it mate. 😀

[@kainen1279]

I got one of these from a Goodwill ages ago and thought it was broken - turns out it's just a little sensitive and nuts. Thanks for posting this! I'm gonna play with it some more

[@theversatilehunter3651]

Nice bit of jamiroquai towards the end! Just picked one of these up, seems quite a lot better than the similar boss auto wah I picked up for peanuts.

[@MichaelOBrien-m7r]

Your bass looks like sonic!

Great intro to the pedal, just bought one on Reverb and your video will really help!

Got one and had no Gide to it, THNX for this demonstration, now I now how to get on with it.

[@DanLeggatt]

Enjoy 👍

[@guimeloy8160]

Excellent pedal!

[@isetta4083]

I'd sell my soul for one of these, I've seen 3 go for under £50 in the past year and its killed me because I wasn't able to afford them. Never see them for less than £120 now

[@DanLeggatt]

It’s a shame. I only paid £30 for this about 5 years ago.

[@isetta4083]

@@DanLeggatt I managed to get ahold of a Digitech bass squeeze for £30 a couple months back but I can't imagine the demand for compressors is gonna increase any time soon- really considering spending the £100 for this pedal, as there's a listing available at the moment

[@Ezra.G]

I lucked out, I got mine for free. Someone I knew used to play bass and one of the few pieces he had in his rig was this pedal and he offered it to me so I ofc said yes. Still have it in my setup to this day

[@danadane2501]

I'm not a big pedal guy as a bassist but I have to admit this pedal would really serve me well on certain basslines. At least parts of them. Anyway, excellent review on this Digitech triumph of an effects pedal. On a side note I had to throw in the fact it's a Digitech. Many of the other pedal manufactures don't have nearly as good tracking not quality of sound. For guitar (yes I know that's blasphemy on a bass vid) the Digitech Grunge pedal is probably the best Heavy Metal pedal I've ever played or owned.

[@FlamesAt1000ft]

A great demo of this fine pedal from Digitech! On a nice powerful Bass Amp,..a good Bassist should set off a Richter Scale and Earthquake in the vicinity!..setting the groove & moody funky vibes for all to jam on! ....I Funk ‘da Hell outta mine! b(‘_’ !)

[@DanLeggatt]

🤘

[@jhsounds]

More the _yeahhhh_ pedal

[@samuelclio]

Great video man! Between this and mxr envelope filter, which one will you choose?

[@DanLeggatt]

Cheers! Tough choice, this is far more flexible and has more options. If you just want an envelope filter / auto wah then probably the MXR. If you want a flexible pedal to add a variety of tones then this is a great buy. It does great filter tones too but the MXR does have the edge.

[@Andytheashton]

I have bought both. Gonna see how they work together when the digitech arrives this week 🕺🏻

[@mistamac6509]

Great demo! I need this pedal. Does anyone know if there is any other clone for this pedal? I'm scared of dropping 150 for an old and used pedal

[@DanLeggatt]

I was lucky, I picked this up before they were popular. Paid £45 used.

[@marcinkonieczny8956]

I'v got this pedal. How you solved volume problem? When I use it, sound is much louder then clean bass...

[@DanLeggatt]

For my use, I can live with the volume jump. Best solution would be to run a compressor after it to smooth out the peaks. Or run it in its own loop pedal with an EQ or something after to tailor the volume and frequency response.

[@adammadtin8451]

give me a setting for deeper underground

[@iandehaas1193]

Does anyone know if this is Polyphonic? I've been using an EHX Mono Synth. And I'm thinking this might fit my needs better, but polyphonic would be huge

[@DanLeggatt]

Absolutely not polyphonic I’m afraid.

[@iandehaas1193]

@@DanLeggatt it’s okay! I still tracks better than the EHX Mono Synth I had. I picked it up from a local shop. Loving it. Thanks for the demo!

[@Ray-um3if]

Cool pedal, Cool demo as always. So you're a bassist as well as a really good guitarist, I'm betting you can play Drums and Keyboards, I hate you Lol

[@DanLeggatt]

😂😂 Naa just Guitar and Bass for me. I can just about hold a basic beat behind the kit and suck at keys. My Dad and Brother are both great drummers so I leave it to them 😂

[@santiagovalenzuelaa7944]

I got a problem with this pedal. When i put it on, the volumen get down automatically. Any idea to fix it? Thank you!

[@DanLeggatt]

How much volume loss? Mine seems fine. Some tones will vary in volume due to the nature of the frequencies in filtering. Nothing major though. Could be an actual problem with your unit.

[@paytonbowling7259]

Do regular envelope filters have synth?

[@DanLeggatt]

Nope. You can get synth like sounds placing a filter after some distortion but synth sounds like this are very different.

[@jin92giu]

Do the pots move like arent very solid out of normality?

[@DanLeggatt]

Seem pretty sold to me but perhaps not as solid as Boss for example. I’ve not had any problems.

[@jin92giu]

@@DanLeggatt tenkiu

[@chieftapahoe69]

Does it cut low end in live settings???

[@DanLeggatt]

Depends on the preset. If it’s set up right not really but it can. It does have a dry output too that can be utilised.

[@ahteha8010]

this pedal needs an expression pedal input to control range but it has not(((

[@olibessegato1010]

sounds like a seinfeld transition

[@madbassskillz]

Used to have one, the band hated it

[@DanLeggatt]

That’s more reason to use one surely? 😂😂

[@BudiPrasetyoHarsono]

Already have a dirt pedal, can I combine it?

[@DanLeggatt]

Absolutely

[@BudiPrasetyoHarsono]

I'm going to use sub and sub/env. Is that good enough? I found used for $60, is that a good deal? Or should I buy NOS for $130?
