"there is a tube in there and it might be doing something" explains exactly the reason I want a tube preamp so badly

[@jatmachado]

Earned a follower on the highpass filter part... lol. Thx

[@AmilcarBaxo]

Very good! The pedal doesn't really bring so many benefits, you're very honest! That's it!!

[@sebastian.arancibia]

The first metal riff it's amazing!

[@bobmaerten]

Damned my (too long) comment from a few days has vanished :/ I don't remember all I was saying but yeah, I concur on the usability of the third channel, and the integrated "cabsim". I recently acquired a CabM and I can finally crank the trebble knob up again with a proper cab simulation, taming those highs. Very nice demo tracks, as always! 🤩

[@Paajanenae]

Ah damn, KZbin does that sometimes! At one point I was suddenly swarmed by comments months old that just appeared overnight. Weird. Thanks for reposting though! I did swiftly try my go-to cabinet impulses inside my DAW with the ReVolt, the first track actually is the only one not using the built-in cabsim but one of my own IRs and those did make a huge improvement.

Hey, I’ve been a subscriber for some time but never took the time to comment your stuff :) Now I’m looking for some kind of all-in-one pedal and I must say that this video and the Darkglass infinity one were super well made and informative ! Thank you for this quality content, and kudos on the great playing, I wish I could play with a pick like you do 👌

[@Paajanenae]

Thanks for following along! 💜 I've been meaning to make a pick tutorial for a while now, but my technique is still constantly evolving and is now very different from two years or even a year ago 😄

[@AZjeeppro]

I use the 3rd channel with other effects to get a synth sound

[@joshualacey8828]

Love the bass lines !!!

[@josku5]

Onks nää backing trackit sinun vai koko bändin tekemiä? Kuulostaa helvetin hyvältä 😎👍

[@Paajanenae]

Kiitoksia! Ihan itse täytyy kaikki biisit väsäillä että niitä kehtaa videoissa käyttää 😄

[@josku5]

@@Paajanenae No se on kova! Onko noi muut soittimet jotain midi tyyppisesti ohjelmoituja vai itse soitettuja/äänitettyjä? Oletan että varmaan jotain midiä täytyy olla jos joka videoon tekee tuommosia, eihän siinä muuten riitä aika äänittämään kaikkea 😅

[@Paajanenae]

@@josku5 Rummut klikkailen MIDIllä sisään, mut kaikki muut täytyy ihan ite soitella! Aika nopeeksi siinä on kehittynyt kun näitä on tehnyt 😄

[@josku5]

@@Paajanenae No kieltämättä 😅 ei siitä muuta voi sanoa kun että hyvin soitettu, ite diggaan tuosta modernin metallin soundista.

[@b10t3rr0r]

@@Paajanenae Ymmärräthän sä, että kohta täällä aletaan vaatimaan ensin jotain EP:tä näistä ja sit sen jälkeen nää pitää saada kokea livenä ja joudut kasaa bändin tätä varten. **wink** **wink** **nod** **nod**.

[@ivanguiscafre]

Man, someone have to make a Revolt vs Mark Bass preamp, nobody did it tll now, i let you this idea! C ya

[@JakeBass]

Great review! What a shame the cab sim is so basic 😱 Have you had a chance to try the Ampeg SGT D.I?

[@Paajanenae]

I do understand their reasoning behind it, making an analog cab sim is way different than a digital cabsim and there's not a lot you can do with it. After all this pedal is supposed to be paired with the CAB M+ for digital cabinet emulation. I haven't been able to check out the Ampeg SGT D.I. though I'm really interested in that. It looks like a great piece of gear!

[@JakeBass]

@@Paajanenae I love Bi Amping my bass live and currently use a Kemper and a Marshall Plexi profile for the high end signal above 250hz and blend with a clean DI for the lows with a high end roll off but I’m missing something in the mids and I think it’s the clean bass di that is not sounding it’s best. Have you had this problem with yourself Mr Paajanenae? I run into an empress compressor before the split for a more consistent attack

[@Paajanenae]

@@JakeBass Yeah I have! That's why these days I steer away from splitting my bass signal 😄 I find that by carefully tuning my distortions I can achieve more solid tones than by splitting the signal. There is no clean DI blend on any of my videos for the last 2 years I'd wager and I've only used multiband tricks on a handful of those, mainly in the form of Neural DSPs Parallax

[@JakeBass]

@@Paajanenae Very interesting 🧐

[@thewetterbass]

Great video!!! Really liked your approach. Great playing too 👍🏻

[@marnuswessels1]

How dirty would the clean channel be ? I'm curious how sensitive the gain knob is on it, and if you could create a clean channel with a bit of hair on it?

[@Paajanenae]

It doesn't really get distorted, no hair to be had there. With the gain knob on full it sounds like running a tube pre hot just before it starts to audibly distort. It's a little bit less dynamic at that point and there is something extra in the tone but it's not much.

[@Paajanenae]

You might be able to get some hair out of it if you pushed it with a boost pedal or something like the Bass Soul Food now that I think of it

[@JacobOverman42]

I dig that ESP! What model is that?

[@Paajanenae]

Thank you! It's a custom shop Surveyor 😄

[@JacobOverman42]

It seems to be rare. I cant find one anywhere!@@Paajanenae

[@Paajanenae]

@@JacobOverman42 Considering it's a custom build I don't doubt that hahah
