Killer Tones from the Tech 21 dUg Pinnick DP-3X

[@stephenadams2161]

It's refreshing to see this pedal demo'd fingerstyle! Thanks!

[@RadityoPramAdi]

More people should know about King's X. Nice demo too!!

[@rafsnchz]

This is some top quality review, there isn't too many reviews on this pedal at all. Thank you!

[@StuartClayton]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it - it's a fantastic pedal.

[@SUNKINGME]

I am SO getting this pedal! Thanks for posting!

[@pjmuck]

I generally despise distortion on bass, but this pedal sounds very musical by retaining top end clarity and tight low end. It sounds like it could nail Geddy Lee's tones too.

[@user-vw7um9vv5p]

Yeah top demo mate. Finally someone using fingers and pick to demo this unit. Great stuff.

[@goncalomarques2711]

And suddently Stuart Sheehan arrises from the deep of youtube, bringing one of the best distortion sounds the population of the world has heard in a while

[@pumpkinking5679]

Fantastic demo Stuart. This pedal is so versatile you can have it sound like dug or billy. Or anything in between clean to over the top grind. If I closed my eyes I swear it was Sheehan. Great job.

[@StuartClayton]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It's a great pedal.

[@jma1304]

The Line 6 Hx Stomp can get an ok sound if fiddle enough; the parallel paths and mixer allow you to set a frequency (cross-over) and easily keep the low end :)

[@mattthegreeter9074]

Apparently I hadn't clicked the bell icon & somehow missed your review! Great job Stuart. I've been interested in this pedal since the instant it came out & I've been hearing Tim Starace from YYNOT play the absolute hell out of it. I am saving my money right now to pick up the dUg. Thanks for the vid man

[@StuartClayton]

Thanks Matt, glad you enjoyed it! It's an incredible pedal, highly recommended!

[@jackshittle]

Nice to see the Zon Sonus. I had a Sonus V and a Sonus Special IV. I'd use them live and to record.

[@delucajohn2000]

Bass lick of the week #46 at 6:42 :-) Sounds great as always Stuart.

[@StuartClayton]

Absolutely! Gotta recycle these things...

[@davedecker1725]

Great pedal! As a raving and drooling KING'S X fan I'm getting one for sure. Hopefully tech 21 will make a pedal that makes me SING like dUg 😆😆😆

[@zion9981]

Thanks for the nice review. I really like the sound at 4:03 in the video.Is it possible to play a similar sound if I change the photo settings? Or are the characteristics of the base body strong?

[@smcgov]

years ago I went to see King's X in Austin, the opening band was the Galactic Cowboys, he had a Zon bass using distortion and it was just a fantastic tone that cut like a razor...here is a recorded example on the intro kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqive4xqn6qiq8U

[@MisterTee]

Dug Pinnick is quite skilled

[@BoomChockolaca]

Stuart, your hand technique is amazing))) Pedal is nice, but need to check it out by myself

[@jma1304]

Tech21 YYZ is also pretty cool, not the same as dUg, but very usable in a pedal format

[@markpr73]

That last riff was GREEZY!

[@StuartClayton]

Thanks! If you want to learn it, it's from my free Bass Lick of the Week series - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmrIfX6Iq7F6nLs

[@RScottDuncan]

Thanks for the demo. I'm really liking this pedal although I've never tried it. I'm looking at the DP-3X vs the Geddy Lee DI 2112 but there are no music stores close by to try them out. It. Probably two different animals but I've got to say that I do like that the DP-3X has compression on it even though not dedicated. Have you tried the DI2112? How do they compare? Thanks again for the video. Good review and playing. :) Update: Got the DP-3X and love it.

[@marijandesin8226]

Should have left Roundabout for the end To be continued ==> ;)

[@superblondeDotOrg]

phenomenal playing.. how does it compare to the first tech21 bass flyrig pedal..which has sansamp section in the center.. presumably this also has a fixed-sansamp internally as speaker emulation, maybe... no mention of sansamp circuit in reviews of this pedal though...

[@StuartClayton]

Thank you. I don't know how it compares to the FlyRig as I've not tried that pedal...! It's a great DI though, I really enjoy using it.

[@khund03]

Very cool, I was just taking a look at the pedal was wondering if it did more than just distortion/OD? Questions have been answered, and then some.

[@StuartClayton]

Yeah it definitely offers a bit more than distortion - it's a really useful pedal to have around.

[@Andarregar]

Great video,.so what would it be Darkglass Microtube X7 or Tech DP-3x?

[@srhmusic13]

Hey Stuart. So I'm really trying to get a nice Justin Chancellor sound out of my gear. Obviously the hardest part to fill in that order would be a Wal Bass. I was lucky enough to acquire one last year. I've gotten pretty good tones with my tech 21 sansamp but I've been thinking about picking up this pedal to get even closer the sound I want. How do you think this would fare with getting that sound and tone?

[@codyhansonbass]

In the two Billy Sheehan settings, are the mid shift and gain knob in or out?? Great demo

[@masque1313]

that was a good video......it would have been better if you could have gotten a player that could really play well and showcase the pedal better........LOL!!!! just kidding of course......great video, love King's X, happy for dug getting this pedal out. and you my friend are an incredible player. well done!

[@StuartClayton]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Such a great pedal, very cool for fans of Dug - and others!

[@Darkshine1]

Is the first song you play one of billy sheehan composition or you created it? Sounds really good either way.

[@StuartClayton]

Antonio Amato it’s just me noodling in the style of Billy! Hard not to with that sound...!

[@MrGlobalcheese]

Excellent demo Stu. Brilliant. I have the pedal. Love it. Now waiting for the Tim Commerford rig in a pedal which unfortunately aint ever going to happen. Unless Tech 21 can convince Timmy to stop being a nanna.

[@StuartClayton]

Thanks Todd. Yeah, Tim's tone is something else...!

[@ripper9679]

What sorcery is this!

[@Twobarpsi]

You need to raise those strings. They are rattling off the frets.
