I just got it Shawn. After your demo I had to have it! I’m getting some bell bottom jeans to go with all the rediculous 70’s rock tones this pedal gets. Thanks for showing this one! My wheelhouse.

Caught in two places, 1. This is by far one of the best sounding pedals I’ve ever heard. 2. Shawn Tubbs makes everything sound good… lol regardless, what a demo! Loved every second! Thanks Shawn for always providing proper depth and demonstration whilst blessing our ears with your playing!!

I’m fortunate to know those guys, some of the nicest people on the planet! Got to try the earliest versions of the 228 and the brass knuckle overdrive and have the 228. Makes everything sound and feel better, don’t know how Jono does it but when you couple being a great player and one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, it’s no surprise really. Great demo Shawn!

Hi shawn , i purchased this unit because of your demo and im not dissapointed ! It definately adds more of that natural harmonic content and the hpf is great for tightening the lows and focusing the mids and highs ,very useful box and different to the usual drive pedals . I must say that Bella amp is very good for pedals , i must try one one day ,

I hope you don't mind me saying so! thanks Shawn!

I am in a cover band, and go between my strats and my paul because of the needs of the song... but because the tonal differences and just the volume / level differences it can be a bit tricky (we play venues where we have to watch volume etc...) and I am thinking this would be a good pedal to have when I switch from one to the other

If you want to be extra dirty, i'd get that pedal. Trying to capture the sound of a red hot iron bar is difficult and in my opinion the 228 is the best i've heard. Thank you Mr Tubbs ...G...

Cool tune. Bro you can frekin play. So what's the signal flow we're hearing here? Can it work DI into a DAW? When you engaged the 228 at 8:00 it really sounded 'mic'd' .

Thanks so much! Guitar > 228 PRE > Friedman DS40 > UA OX > Apogee Quartet. You could certainly run it direct into your DAW but it's really designed to run to the front of an amp.

@44amanaplanacanalpanama442 ай бұрын
I doubt that it's a shelving type bass cut (which implies an even cut from the corner frequency all the way down. This would be similar to a baxandall style tone circuit used on a home stereo). Usually, the -3db point is the corner frequency, or the frequency where the filter starts to take effect. It's most likely a first order filter rolling off at 6db per octave, which is easily implemented with a simple capacitor and resistor (or switched capacitors for selection). It is easily calculated by the formula 1/(2*pi*resistor*capacitor). The resistor would be the terminating impedance to ground with the capacitor in series with the signal. For example, a 100k resistance and 0.1uF capacitor would give a -3db frequency of 15.9Hz.
