Microtubes X Ultra demo by Jacob Umansky

[@patrickhunter]

Jacob with those fingers of steel & thunder!

[@JacobUmansky]

Patrick Hunter ♥️

[@bikesnbeerz]

I paused the video... just to give his fingers a rest once a while.

[@ChipotleKanetsu]

Now that Nolly ain't touring anymore, this dude and Skye dominates djent.

[@gabopenav]

What a bass player he is!!!

[@palmtreeapplehead2677]

I use Darkglass stuff for clean tones and it’s great. My favourite preamp by far. I wish the official demos would show that instead of gain set to 99999999999

[@Tangalang22]

While I agree darkglass has great clean tones they should brag and showcase, Jacob doesn't use a lot of gain. Mostly the gain is used as a high mid boost and clank

[@armignac]

And it hasnt changed yet... ^^

[@johnathangoldblatt2931]

Damn I gotta practice more

[@mattpatt199]

Yeh brb ive got to go practice for the next 5 years 👍

[@hulkslayer626]

His playing is INSANE!!

[@bassist4life871]

I just picked one up for myself. This video does a great job of being brief, comprehensive, and having a good balance of demoing, talking, and even having a great sound setup portion. I’m excited to see how my Warwick Thumb will sound through this!

[@SoulSideSeven]

How do you like it? I am about to pick one up at a store!

[@bassist4life871]

@@SoulSideSeven I love it! It gives me and my Warwick Thumb a crazy aggressive sound that fits well with my new band!

[@xRyuzakii]

I'd love to listen to more of this stuff on other basses. I'm quite tired of the dingwall hype everywhere.

[@joshuawhittaker3347]

I feel that. I honestly never liked the dingwall tone that much. There are better and cheaper basses out there. But Dingwall probably paid to advertise their basses on these videos.

[@zachhallman9701]

Yea ding wall ain’t shit

[@bASS227]

The thing is dingwalls are really nice to play

[@xmaverickhunterkx]

That's some great musicianship there, accompanied by a great tone!

[@jonmuir13]

Jacob is a beast!

[@bobthebassman7066]

Just bought my X Ultra today . Can’t wait to try it!

[@sagemckearney1193]

DAYUM! Dude where have you been hiding all my life?! Some of the craziest playing I have seen in many moons.

[@gerardogutierrez9422]

Para mi, Jacob Umansky es el mejor bajista en la escena.

[@As5Hat]

Darkglass promos are better than any bass company out there in terms of product demo and quality of presentation. and god damn I love that Dingwall. Just wish they had a better name lol

[@Maxischupp93]

these eq settings with the Forrester bitey IR are perfect! finally my x ultra direct sound kinda matches my markbass cabs! :)

[@DJProfessorL]

IM AWAKE

[@calvinlove7904]

Cool monitor setup 👍

[@conanoy]

Hmm soooo what pedal makes the greatest sound now? XU B7K AOU ?

[@KewKylyu]

I prefer the AO, and i put it in the effect loop of my MT900 in VMT mode with just a small driven sound

[@GayanDanthanarayana]

Jacob what's your live rig like? It'd be great if you can go into some detail!

[@josessuarezz]

Amazing!

[@stevewindsenergy]

Hi, 1) you think its good for playing good Charlotte, sum 41 , billy Talent etc offspring? 2) you also think it sounds better than boss odb3 when we look at the overdrive? 3) also do you prefer this microtube X or you prefer alpha omicron?

[@SpaRks222]

is there any chance for a darkglass microtube X amp this year? :-)

[@jonathanosborn4800]

Id just love an all out all four distortion types in one

[@jonathankeith524]

Better sound than Polyphia, in my opinion.

[@hcaz5818]

That's not hard to achieve

[@Matt_Preacherz]

What is the song played ?

[@nozs558]

Does this pedal serve as a preamp too?

[@mvyper]

It actually is. I honestly think it would be WAY better suited to go in the return loop of an amp.

[@dwfav]

... tabs please 😊💚

[@XiyuYang]

Basically Parallax in a pedal? Or is Parallax the Microtubes XU in a plugin?

[@aryalelfe1476]

None of them

[@LCA1985]

Yes basically the same concept. Although Parallax also includes a Mid Drive section besides the High Drive, but I have both and are pretty much the same. Parallax sounds cleaner and punchier in the Daw and XU to go with the amp.

[@danimourinho]

just Wow!!

[@hoompaloompaa]

Fanned frets looks funny.

[@mindbodylightsound10]

too sick

[@damonium684scanlon3]

Great pedal, but man I don't like that tone that he was using. It sounded way too tinny and metallic.

[@CheloWiiU]

I'm listening with headphones and I think the tone is actually pretty fat and present

[@sarondiesel588]

I'm using earbuds and yeah. This tone sounds bad. Come on son. You're a feckin bass player, with six strings!

[@djentyboi592]

Cauz djent

[@Jackal_Blitz]

@@usagiDK Simple-minded people that think that more note options are a bad thing. I'm sure they also drive cars with speedometers that go above 100mph too, even though they've never driven that fast.

[@motorax11]

I believe alot of it is to cut through the mix.

[@Casual_Shots]

Sounds like Megaman.

[@TheScrewone]

Pick : No! Finger : Yes babe!!

[@GoudVis56667]

Nothing about the blue mode?

[@trance9158]

Its for dialing in the clean sound to the board.

[@judahatkins6069]

"It's really the perfect tool for any bass player, especially one who doesn't want to get noise complaints from the neighbors." Am... Am I the target audience?

[@dougwilliams44]

B3K works just fine, if you play a SPECTOR

[@PhullyNo1]

Unreal 30 comments at 3 years.

[@Jkarlo77]

Why you dont take the "b" off your name.

[@davidkekstroll5836]

Is this Math Rock?

[@Lithuania8634]

Clank

[@dekhruel]

Dingwall... again and again... all demos sound the same.

[@dumithegreat3892]

DekhruelBass welcome to modern Prog lol

[@IvanBassist]

@Toxic Potato Check Erik Arkö's demo :)

[@dekhruel]

@Toxic Potato not the point at all. But when you wanna sell a pedal it help a lot to make demo with other bass the see the full range not. Almost 95% of the Darkglass demo featur Dingwall... Would be great to have some with a jazz a precision a musicman etc... My opinion thats it.

[@titushefner1085]

DekhruelBass there are plenty of demos with people who don’t use dingwalls. You just have to look for them. I believe there are some on Darkglass’ Instagram page.

[@zekebeckman]

First

[@zekebeckman]

and... SO sick.

[@spotzav5830]

Well there goes my check
