MXR Bass Preamp Bass Demo

[@benchambers1173]

Not too much mention of the main purpose of this pedal. It's main function is to replace your amp. You can forget about lugging around big ass cabinets the size of a refrigerator. The xlr out goes to the sound guy, and you can use whatever in house monitors for stage sound. The reason for the separate input and output level knobs is so you can create more gain by simulating driving an amp harder.

[@drumtarist08]

This was all I needed to know about this pedal. Thank you

[@jesse_cole]

Not sure I cared much for the pedal... but this is an absolute clinic in demonstrating how drastically you can change your tone by changing the _bass_ you're playing.

[@tonybassbaq]

Finally a good review from this Preamp!!

[@bryanallenguitar6714]

this is a GREAT demo man!!! not only great, realistic playing...but you take it through the sounds too! I hear SO MANY HATERS about not only THIS pedal... but ALL bass preamp pedals! Honestly guys... a bass preamp pedal is a VERY specific thing that you either need... or you dont... Just please... dont spread hate or misinformation if you dont know what it does or dont need it.... However...if you are like me...and a preamp pedal is the HEART of your RIG... this pedal is KILLER!!!! Absolutely pristine EQ... The parametric Mids are simply to die for... can dial in any settiing i need... this is a cant live without type pedal... the last bass pedal i would ever part with. If anyone is curious about all the possiblities with this pedal... hit me up i will go through them all... this is an ELITE stompbox pedal... no doubt

[@LJPV777]

I'd honestly be interested in the situations you found this useful in

[@mikarage3677]

Hi some Say the mxr preamp can dial pretty well the Gallien Krueger tone.do you agree?

[@1968thedon]

I use a compression pedal.. I am thinking about getting a pre-amp... is that necessary, or would that be redundant?? and whould I put the preamp before the compression or after on my pedal board?

[@seanhickey1999]

@@1968thedon what compressor do you use?

[@1968thedon]

@@seanhickey1999 I use MXR Bass compressor

[@TyrannusEtImperium]

Great review. One suggestion though, please dig into the B string when you’re on the five string. Bros gotta know, you know?

[@bridgefan87]

Right! Lol

[@Crabfather]

Not picking or anything, but the different settings would have been more helpful with just a single bass so there was a point of reference.. Nice playing though!

[@nym053]

That seafoam green bass looks great!

[@burningkarma]

The XLR on this just sounds better than M80. More clear and it doesn’t have a slight hiss to it like the M80.

[@rafito1280]

MXR should update de M80 with the mid sweep of this pedal. It will compete better with darkglass and sansamp stuff.

[@jazzman0173]

Sounds cool , good playing demo Will !

[@MassoBassoProg]

Hi guys, will you demo about the ampeg Classic analog preamp? Thanks!

[@santanajackson6160]

mxr is my favorite pedals but when it comes to preamp pedals I think the ampeg analog bass preamp pedal is the best preamp pedal .

[@Poopunist]

Holy crap man, you YELLIN!

[@davidleamy7564]

Ah that stingray sound. Love it!

[@alvarogoza]

How do you get the distorted sound at 0:55? Are you using any other pedal or just input gain at mxr preamp?

[@jaxonvictoria4345]

Alvaro Fernandez looks like a combination of the input gain and hot pickups

[@tortillaman2491]

Great tone for a low cost pedal in a small package.

[@Vincent_Roy]

Thanks for the awesome demo ! Special request : the Wampler EQator, with its two parametric mids, one with a narrow Q and one with a wider Q. I would like to know if it suits the bass well.

[@TheMidnightRiders]

This is a great demo. But can someone explain to me the use of both input and output level? Aren't they just volume control or I am not getting something here?

[@bass_vibes]

Input control is +/- 10 db. Output is +/- 20.

[@marcopanetta3510]

Is it possible to connect the bass to this pedal and then go into a guitar amp?

[@austinmichaw]

yes

[@marcopanetta3510]

@@austinmichaw thanks man! but how do you know? because I need to be sure because I don't want thousands of euros worth of equipment to go up in smoke

[@paultraynorbsc627]

Nice demo guys just got a tri logic 11 bass pre amp today

[@RobMLyon]

Great preamp, I have the BB pre boost!! It’s well used and something I will never part with

[@OhFuchsia84]

Can it be connected to any power supply? Or only Dunlop power supply works?

[@JulesNoir820]

I get alot of use out of this pedal! I have it right at the end of my pedalboard. That way I can go ampless if the need ever comes up! Otherwise, just acts as a nice end of chain EQ going into my amp ☮️

[@JaimeLopez-xm5uk]

Quick question if anyone could help. Why are these more expensive than their bass DI/overdrive even though this one seems more limited and less varied than the other?

[@bryanallenguitar6714]

look at stats... this one has MUCH better stats... (meaning DB before distortion...and honestly just headroom and great sound in general... this pedal rules bro... you just have to need it to know it... if you simply plug into your amp... then yo would never need this... if you have an effects board... place this at the end and use the DI to board and the hi z to your amp.... thsi pedal ROCKS SOCKS bro... it is by far my favorite bass pedal)

[@JaimeLopez-xm5uk]

@@bryanallenguitar6714 thanks for the info, bro. I was looking into getting it, but I'll look further into it latter on. I currently own the preamp D.I. + and see this as a future upgrade. The Aguilar Tone Hammer seems great as well, but I'm working on getting other pedals first.

[@RobMLyon]

@@bryanallenguitar6714I heard from a friend something similar, I was about to spend an AG preamp but was advised this was the best way to go

[@santanajackson6160]

so far from what I seen the ampeg analog bass preamp smokes the mxr preamp . but mxr are my favorite effects pedals

[@RobMLyon]

Depends on your flavor, I have played both as well as both Aggie preamps, Phil jones ect. All awesome, but they are all coloring your sound with more compression and their own flavor

[@Berus7777]

HI WILL!!!1!!! LOVE YOUR REVIEWS MAN, BUT IMMA NEED YOU TO CUT DOWN THE CAFFEINE LEVEL FROM THE CURRENT "10", TO ABOUT A 2 OR 3 OKAY, AMIGO???!!!!?!!!

[@ovemikkelsenhoel2174]

Can you use MXR bass preamp with Boss BB1X bass driver ?

[@savanaviolenta]

Thats what I do. Have them both.

[@klaymeister]

Sounds good but I think an EQ pedal has more opportunities for use.

[@bryanallenguitar6714]

i disagree... the parametric mid control on this is crazy awesome... this pedal takes a while to figure out though guys... but it is by far the most indispensable pedal i own

[@fullhd6598]

EQ vs Pream? :O i dont know the differences

[@JoeKirwins]

If people want to demo the same riff with different pedal settings why not record into a looper and run that in? Then it’s an actual control variable.

[@TheBassChannel]

This video was made when the channel was very young. We started doing exactly that a few years ago.

[@anyone-f2r]

A bass preamp without a semi-parametric mid EQ is useless to me. That’s why I’m here someone suggested this pedal. This or the Thumper.

[@eriktorsteinhansen]

Informative, but I would have preferred if everything was played on the same bass.

[@basskunyuk]

can it powered by phantom?

[@RitchieRosson]

No.

[@adrianjamin-dq9ru]

whats the direct out for?

[@ryanborbely1310]

Mixing on a board or live without an amp on stage.

[@ivanasin1268]

So this is a DI too?

[@hermaniu]

I still like my MXR M80 and Boss Bass Drover more.

[@miloellis191]

Why change the bass? Makes more sense to keep the variables to a minimum. We wanna see the capabilities of the pedal not the different basses.

[@sulikojunk]

Hello! Is it possible to use this pedal with double bass?

[@bryanallenguitar6714]

yep... i know 2 ppl that do exactly that... this is a really good versatile pre amp bro... its the best pedal size pre amp i know of... and its actually WAY better that at least 90% of the rack pre amps i know of... super clear... and can drive your amp too if thats what you want

[@supercareappliancerepair8538]

Would be better if he turned the pedal on and off to hear the difference.

[@marc9709]

Should be jamming on the same bass throughout

[@khalylehagood3222]

This is creepy, I was just looking these up yesterday.

[@teacher5376]

Bass guitars , i see.new yellow color's pedals , are best .for ! ( spend soon , fuzz ,
