The Tech 21 dUg Pinnick pedal is a real good pre amp/ distortion type pedal also. Plus you can never go wrong with a plain old Sans Amp DI bass driver pedal too. I have all of these, Dark Glass, Tech 21 and the Sans Amp and I use them on two separate boards. One is a small grab and go fly rig type and the other is my main board which is pretty large. That board has all my time bassed stuff , delay, chorus, octave , harmonizer.

[@deadthmach1]

sans amp has silly drive if you want modern tone and you play active 5 string bass. The B string will have just fuzz, without clang in it. I use ,Alpha omega ultra with Keeley Bassist Compressor which has the threshold and gain so you can work with your noise as well, for extra drive got the Jam Pedals Rattler Bass Overdrive which have dist and overdrive, and you can blend them as well and darkglass harmonic booster for the nice clean sygnal. But the real game changer is the KMA Audio Machines Tyler, this one is making +1000 tones to the library, didn't know this pedal until checked this video.;3

Ya true. Not saying the tone is bad but i really think the high end is way too harsh

[@RJMelling]

my board is set up primarily for playing Bass in a proggy metal band but I also play a little Guitar. Signal chain is: 1. Digitech Jimi Hendrix Wah. (for the face searing Purple Haze fuzz tone and Machine Gun Univibe) 2. Boss GT1B bass processor with FS7 expansion footswitch. (for funky QFilter, trippy Tera Echo, synths, octaves, looping, delays, Wah, bitcrushing, solo boost... allsortsa craaaazyness) 3. Boss OS2 (overdrive blended with distortion as a dB booster) 4. Devin Townsend Ocean Machine dual-delay + reverb. (an AWESOME pedal - for psychedelia, atmosphere, Loops, creepiness... and Total. Sonic. Destruction) 5. Digitech Jam Man Solo XT with FSX3 expansion footswitch. (for one shot samples and electronica looped beats and harsh samples) 6. Boss BF2 Flanger (for astral travel) same one that Justin Chancellor uses 😜 apparently) 7. Morley Wah / volume. (for when it all gets too mental and I have to shut the volume off!) Played thru a Cliff Burton Aria Pro 2 and a 400w bass amp 😀 Guitars: Line 6 variax, and Jackson JSX94 😉

[@F0dd3r26]

Cool video. If anyone is looking to get this sound and is on a budget there is an alternative which sort of does the same thing. The Tech 21 DP-3X splits the signal, compresses the low end, distorts the mids and highs, has a XLR with a cab sim (you just can't load IR's onto it) and has a tuner built in. Whilst it may not have as many features of this board it certainly is cheaper and you can still get a variety of tones, including pretty much all those shown in this video.

[@Roberto-tc1fd]

Can One use the boss line selector instead ? Just asking

[@derekmccabe9614]

THIS is a really nice new modern bass setup, I would replace the tuner and the fuzz and add in an octive... but the Tyler with COMP on low end and Alpha Omega on highs IS the sound.

I use the tech 21 DP3X and it gets me that sound up until the fuzz pedal brutality. All in one pedal that fits in a guitar case/bag. But thanks for showing the principal of splitting the bass frequency spectrum. I've been bi-amping for years before I knew this was a real thing.

[@chrisvalleqatsi]

I play a Bass VI using a dP-3X as the backbone, feeding a SoulPOG in before it, and PitchFork, Bass Chorus Deluxe, and Grand Canyon in afterward. The dP-3X is EVERYTHING except a power section. A fantastic sound, incredible value.

I'm asking myself if it's possible to avoid the Tyler. Ls2, then sr1->darkglass with only the highs, as I see there (or any other distortion pedal with t/m/b control) for distortion ch2->little eq pedal to cut all the highs with and get the clean bass signal... With the Ls2 you choose the mix of sr1 and sr2... And you're done. Am I wrong?

jesse noneofyobussines Sounds like you have the noise gate too high, or you need to just disable that part when you want extended sustain. All noise gates will do that.

[@GIGeorge23]

Cool setup but I would have suggested running just the fuzz in the high end of the splitter and running the combined output into the Darkglass with the cab sim, I think the cab sim helps the low end sound less DI like and glues the sound together more and running a slight drive on the full sound to emulate a valve amp and cab a little and If you want more you can add the fuzz on which will distort just the high end.

[@ludovictangapriganin]

i do split my signal with the tyler too its awesome this is what i’m going for hi pass : boss od 2 (light grit and boost) darkglass b7ku (clean preamp + distortion) Low pass : darkglass super symmetry (heavily compressed ) nether octaver and then after the tyler my sentry noiste gate to make my rig silent ! but i think i’ll buy another preamp to adjust the EQ of the lowpass channel

Would you be able to have a link how exactly the chain is run? I'm confused on it

[@Oilid]

Dat sound is INSANE!!!!

[@FrostByte_AC]

I've been using this sort of setup after watching this video a couple years back on my main rig. The concept of splitting the frequencies between clean and dirty seems like a no-brainer for bassists. That being said, I have not seen any competition or innovations on this concept - only KMA seems to have something exactly like this. Does anyone else use this tonal technique or something similar or are people mostly throwing a Darkglass in front of their amp and calling it a day? I've also had luck using an ABY pedal to run a bass amp (clean) and a guitar amp (dirty) simultaneously but that is just too much gear and (for some) too much signal to have to send out.

[@threndor9017]

Very nice idea. I've been thinking up a similar concept. I would also suggest the HX Stomp. Honestly, I hate Helix distortion sounds but the Stomp provides easy signal manipulations. It can split your signal, apply various filters, perhaps compressors and so on.

[@ThrashingBasskill]

Tyler frequency splitter + HyperLuminal + Alpha/Omega = X7 from Darkglass..? Not exactly the sound but almost the functionality without the loops in both sections.

[@jobelewis6416]

Exactly what I was thinking. I’ve done what’s shown in the video live as well as used the X7 live and unfortunately for my taste the X7 still does it better

[@TH-gu4wj]

That's the route that I had gone. I use a loop switcher and bounce between nothing, X7, or tech21 YYZ. Gives me clean, crunch, hi gain without dropping any lows, or over-processing my signal.

[@KMAMachines]

Completely right, but keep in mind that you are limited to the X7 dirt sound - Tyler lifts your set up to many more possibilities

[@marekw7562]

B7k, super symmetry, and a strobe tuner for funzies. That's my board real simple real light.

[@jfo3000]

The Tech 21 GED-2112 splits the signal and distorts the highs, all in one rackspace device, my son has one, it's good. Now they have it in a pedal too, the SansAmp YYZ. It's a great time to be a musician!

[@SplattedRabbit]

I love the Tyler so much, especially the deluxe edition which adds a few sprinkles on top. I am using a very similar setup although I am going into a Ibanez Pentatone PTPre with the High-Pass. I tried the AOU aswell as a Sansamp but since we are dealing with high frequencies I think a guitarpedal is much better placed here. After the Tyler I go into my Sansamp to give it that little bit of extra. Not adding a lot of drive, just thickening the sound overall and making it richer - works great for me. I still haven't found my favourite compressor. Currently I am switching between the MXR Studio Compressor and the Empress.

[@vegisaynom]

I might have to invest in that frequency splitter, save me from having to carry around my 4u flight case with dual crossover and EQ in it! In case anyone's interested, my bass goes wireless into the rack, into a rack tuner, through an octave pedal, into the first channel of the crossover, that splits it high into a fuzz, flanger, chorus, phaser, delay, and low has an envelope follower and slight overdrive, these then get mixed together and fed into the other crossover, with a slightly different crossover frequency. High goes to a laney ironheart guitar combo 2x12, and low goes into a laney bass head with 1x15 and 4x10. There is also a second output before the crossover, which goes into a DI and off to front of house

[@EmptyDomoKanti99]

Would the Darkglass microtubes ultra be even better? It has for the distortion the following controls: Low comp, low level, high level anda high distortion. It seems like the same you're doing here, compressing the lows and distorting highs and mids. You can go, noise gate, tuner, fuzz and microtubes ultra, and you get the DI out at the end to go direct to the PA.

[@lukealberti5094]

How would you feel about splitting the pickups to a stereo output on the bass, running the neck pickup clean and overdriving the bridge pickup, using the blender knob to mix the two from the bass?

[@patjones5882]

My bass pedalboard is simple yet effective: Line 6 wireless/cable in> boss tuner pedal> mxr bass chorus> mxr bass di + for my preamp/di plus my main grit/crunch tone almost always on like 95% of the time. Take a dirt di from the mxr and a clean di from the parallel out on the mxr, chorus for the clean parts with the clean chorus/delay guitar parts, occasionally with the dirty. Trying to get the Dunlop bass wah to throw on there, maybe a second drive pedal I'm liking the boss bass driver a lot. Right now I'm using the mids control on my bass to boost into a "lead tone" to cut through the guitars. But other then that it's a simple setup that covers all bases and can go through any style (punk, hard rock, alternative, metal, death metal, metalcore, deathcore, hardcore ect.) :) \m/

[@aliennostromo1669]

Around 15:45 is the tone in after. I play with one guitarist so like a thick fat slap coming from my amp. I play through sansamp and ashdown drive which in honesty you can get a banging tone from despite what people say about it. Investing in the dark glass compressor next to tighten it right up

[@PedroWitzel]

I have a similar setup using my Rickenbacker rick'o'sound. Neck pickup to a LM3, bridge to a B3K. I mix them up with a Boss LS2 and then the alpha omega ultra. I keep a clean low end with the mix knob on the AO and I can get a better omega distortion with the low end present.

[@Metalbass10000]

The first pedal is what's called a CROSSOVER. They've been widely used, by bass players in particular, since the early 1970's (John Entwistle used them). My Ampeg SVT 4 PRO Amplifier had an internal crossover, and the frequency of the BI-AMP (another term for this) split was also controllable. I could also select to run the high and low to separate power amp circuits, and then onto, obviously, separate speaker outputs. I ran the separate power amp circuits into an 18" ElectroVoice in a ported cab, and 4 X 10" Celestians with a piezo horn in a sealed cabinet, both cabinets built by Sonic in Cudahy, Wisconsin. I was always told that I had great bass tones through that rig, playing jazz, funk, blues, rock, a little country, and a lot of metal. I liked my crossover set fairly low.

[@yetanotherbassdude]

Bizarrely similar to how I've had my rig working just through my own trial and error. I use a Boss LS-2 to split my signal and run both loops in parallel, with one side running through FX and the other side clean, but I run my comp in front and a Sansamp after, both always on, so that I can use the footswitch on the LS-2 to switch out all FX and get a good clean(ish) sound when I want with a single button press - really useful for quick and massive changes in sound on certain songs. I really like the idea of the Tyler as it has a lot more options for routing and control, but that thing is huge! Would have to take stuff off my board to fit it on and that is NOT gonna happen!

[@Roberto-tc1fd]

I run same stuff, idk if the ls2 does the same job as the tyler.. bass ->A sansamp, for drive the highs and return into the boss pedal; B multicomp to comp the clean sound keeping my low end and presence then? Am I still able to use sansamp D.I with all the processed sound? I dont use an amp

I like the idea of the Tyler pedal. I wonder if it would be easy to build DIY. If I could have a freq splitter like that, the high end would be: Phaser, Chorus, and Fuzz. Then the low end would be a comp just like you have it there. After the splitter at the end of the chain: A pitch shifter with a treadle like a Whammy or something and a graph or parametric EQ. No cab sim because I play through a PG Bias Head with a cab sim on it.

Awesome! Frequency splitting is awesome on Bass. You want distorted mids/highs and clean lows nothing beats it. I have a similar setup using an FEA DB-CL to route my highs through a Mastotron Fuzz and keep my lows clean and isolated, then recombine my signal in a Source Audio Aftershock where I EQ each signal path individually and combine them back into one signal. Synth fuzz with clean lows without out of place clean highs. 👌🏼

Thats a very interesting board, especially that Tyler! I will say, if you need a surprisingly good tuner for not a lot of money for Bass, the Blaxx tuner is the shit!

I have to add a shout for the JPTR katastrophe as an always on distortion for bass.

[@peterrahmani1350]

Does that mean there are 2 outputs here? Or just single main output from Splitter pedal?

First thought was, "you can't make a good rough tone bass pedal board without dark glass pedals. They better have one." They have 2... I'm interested.

[@jery3385]

I mean, that's kinda false, you can definitely do a great metal tone without darkglass pedals.

[@sal8964]

Boss odb 3 with the bass turned down, and the Sansamp in 10-12 o clock drive and bass/presence boosted for loss of low end, your best bet for a good metal bass tone with different tools

[@NordicKayaker]

Hey, can you use the cab sim from the DG from the jack output? Mine (B7KU) only alows from XLR output...

[@bobu5213]

What effects are usually used in metal? I feel like basses aren't often distorted or is that false?
