Great line for fishbone. Thanks for the video

[@ron_gerson]

Nice creativity, and good technique in your noodling. I just found your channel, and can see that you know how to play. Thanks - I bought the DI-2112. It has taken a blanket off of my tone. I’m dialing it in for different scenarios and I’m really appreciating what a great tool it is.

[@DanaVastman]

Luv the powerful clean

[@bassalien]

Yeah its sweet. I may have accidentally overdriven some of the clean sounds but its so versatile it was hard to capture all the different tones

[@junbu8958]

This is definitely on my Sweetwater list to order a great video on this product, I was blown away by Geddys video where he was talking about being on the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame induction of yes playing Chris Squire’s place he got Squires sound no time

[@bassalien]

You should order from us instead!! You won’t be disappointed!!

[@johell928]

What's the differece between the "Drive" knob and the "Saturation" knob ? For me the drive knob sounds more like an overdrive pedal as the saturation knob sounds more as the gain knob of an all tube amp (like an Orange AD200)

[@hazysativa3045]

I have this paired with a pulp n peel... Amazing unit. Its much more than an emulation of Geddys tone.

[@bassalien]

Oh nice! I haven't checked that compressor out yet. What do you think of it?

[@hazysativa3045]

@@bassalien Its got a lot of compliments. It can be very transparent. Go check out some videos. The worst thing about it is the price, but its a very well crafted pedal that can also be used as a DI. Comes with a fuzz circuit too so you're getting a lot of value.

I've had this unit 3 years or so. I still dont understand why the 20db cut switch for active basses...on the BACK of the unit/? how would a person be able to switch it back at a gig when using more than one bass both non active and active. Seems like a no brainer. Fortunately I have the option on my pedalboard but I hate bending over and doing it in between songs when switching basses. Maybe some day they will address this. Still a great preamp.

[@bassalien]

Yeah good point! I suppose you could have your passive bass in the front input at fixed "0 dB", and 1 or 2 active basses in the back with the -20 dB pushed. I think they figure you will plug up to 3 basses in and leave the -20dB as is during a gig or something who knows! Thanks for watching!

[@dannyx.m]

Do you need a bass cab? And does it work well with a frfr speaker like the headrush?

[@bassalien]

You don't need an amp or cabinet as you can line this straight out to the PA or recording interface like Geddy does. I haven't tried it with a FRFR like Headrush but it should work well with XLR balanced outputs.

[@tvtime1505]

Does this simulate and amp vs. just plugging into an interface? Replace as a DI box? Why buy this vs. RBI?

[@bassalien]

Yes it's a preamp and DI box so you can send the output to an amp or a PA, or direct to a recording interface. Some use this with an RBI as you can leverage the additional inputs and outputs this GED 2112 has for separate routed signals. If you want more inputs or control over your tone you would get the GED2112 as it has 2 different shapable channels as I show in the video. Other than that they're somewhat similar. The RBI is more straight forward as far as how to wire it up. The GED you would have to either combine the signals or have a mixer to get the best sound to a single input like a traditional bass amp.

[@bassalien]

Do you like it clean or dirty? Whats your favorite preamp?

[@VinodSeer]

Great video! I’m planning on getting this preamp. I came across another video where you might be able to combine the 2 outputs by moving the circuit jumper. The comment section appears to show others had success with it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYm0lZ2phM-Ya7M

[@bassalien]

Awesome! Yeah there are a few ways to combine them it seems. The Pedal version does it for you but then offers less flexibility. We have them for sale at our store! bassalien.com

[@spiderstudios5599]

What about taking one of the outputs and run it to the effects loop input and set to 50/50? Would then the other output be a combo of the two?

[@bassalien]

@@spiderstudios5599 Hmm I'll have to try that!
