maybe I should clarify: these are NOT great bass pedals. They do their job and they're actually stunning for their price, which is on the other hand so low, that you can't really compare them to industry standard quality pedals like MXR, etc. They are amazing to get started with pedals. But as you become more professional, you'll most likely look for higher quality pedals. Except maybe for the Chorus - this one's a keeper!

[@cavanray6742]

You should add the Nux comps to this list. As you know from their preamp/di NUX builds great stuff and even though the compressor is of the ross variety, it's reasonable at keeping you tone intact. It has nothing on a high end comp like a hyper luminal of course.

[@tomthebassdude]

I love your reviews man, after seeing the review of the Cort A5 plus multiscale, I bought one and wow, it's an amazing bass!! I even started my own channel where I make bass-mashups ;)

[@dougp2917]

Lars could play a shoe string tied to a garden shovel and make it sound great. Yeah, I'm a fan :{}

[@toddstropicals]

I was going to say about the same thing...

[@FalconBass]

I really like the cheaper stuff. Can you do a TC Cinders review, or a cheaper overdrive shootout?

[@MutantNetwork]

Flanger is my fave effect on Bass, dunno why just love it.

[@mezzasegolas]

Harley Benton is hitting one ball out of the park after another. The quality is not top notch, but it allows everybody to experiment with gear, strings, amps... I just ordered a bunch of string gauges, and threw in their bass strings for an additional 4.90 Euro. 4.90! it's cheaper than Starbucks FFS

[@paultraynorbsc627]

Excellent review

[@adamgordon]

They are actually pretty decent. The bottom line to be able to play. Once you've got that you can sound decent with any pedals. I like this review personally. And you high five made my day. All the best! 🤗

[@davidjameschamberlain]

The Octave kinda reminds me of the EHX Octave Multiplexer

[@markbass354]

thank God Lars is back , best bassist ever

[@cavanray6742]

Agreed, he is a much better bassist then drummer.

[@infinitybassuk]

The H3 Chorus is decent; flaaaange is not really my thing - but great playing, but didn't dig the Octaver. For budget pedals, the enclosures are a bit big.. 🤷‍♂️

[@cstocker77]

For bass- What are some of your choices of flangers in the more expensive range? I’m looking

[@basstheworldofficial]

A/DA Flanger and I really like the old yellow Maxon pedals. Fulltone Choralflange for smoother sounds

[@vijaybhambhwani]

I loved the flanger. So funky

[@tikaal]

haha that's funny i personaly hated it opinions

[@BuildYourOwnBass]

Feedback is cranked getting that reso sound. Flange is fun, especially on drums

[@tikaal]

@@BuildYourOwnBass i love it on rhodes

[@BIGeSTRING]

Lars is really a great bassplayer

[@Patrickjohnphotography]

" High five!.. if that is a thing". Killed me. Subscribing, those are the rules. :)

[@alexal9736]

Do your bass players play in any bands? I wanna listen to it !)

[@basstheworldofficial]

Sure! Check their websites & Instagram

[@Mrflippyfloop]

Where is the Reverb video you mention at 4.19 please.

The only thing that I think I’ve watched longer and more regularly that this channel is maybe The Office, and that’s really saying something.. like, for real, I’m fairly certain I’m one of your OG viewers.. with that being said, I remember a time in the not so distance past, when you used to introduce yourself at the beginning of your videos. I miss that, because after all of these years, I think I was finally getting close to understanding what your name is, and I feel like that really would have brought our viewing relationship to the next level. For now I guess I’ll have to keep operating on my best guess, and with that being said, I’d like to say thank you for the continued high quality content and I hope you’re doing well, Klegger.. I hope you’re doing well.

[@basstheworldofficial]

Haha 🙂 Thanks for bearing with me! My name is Gregor (it’s in every video description). I guess that’s a result of being a little uncomfortable in this presenter position. Outside of this place I’m a shy introvert and I see no value in promoting me. But you’re right, I should consider the viewers as well

[@STEIJ6377]

BassTheWorld.com, that really surprises me, man! You do a fantastic job! I was just being silly with my comment - seriously, don’t read anything into it. This is my favorite KZbin channel - keep it up!

[@santiagoarteaga8251]

The octaver seems to be modelled after the old EHX Octave Multiplexer. ¿Anyone here has tried it?

[@basstheworldofficial]

It works actually better for bass than the EHX

[@santiagoarteaga8251]

@@basstheworldofficial The switch is supposed to turn on the high filter, but the high filter still has some effect with the switch turned off. At least on the EHX it does!

[@CamiloDiaz]

Own one and agree, the HB has the same controls an sound

[@CamiloDiaz]

@@santiagoarteaga8251 it's the other way around. Sub switch on activates the bass filter. Sub off has only the high filter activated

[@santiagoarteaga8251]

@@CamiloDiaz You're right man!

[@KiKfilms]

You can just add these effects in Sony Vegas. You can't get more kvlt than this.

[@bertrandmajorik6589]

BASS player here, nice video, pedals sounds good, kits are a good option too.

[@BuildYourOwnBass]

Cheap is great just dont mash the footswitch as hard

[@sokol358]

I prefer pedalboard processors.

[@davidfox7983]

Interesting

[@eierdiebs6388]

Hey, ganz ehrlich. Kaufe ne gute 2nd hand Bodenmiene da haste mehr Spaß dran, oder spare ein bissel und hol dir nen Muli Effektboard. Dieser Billigkram ist es nicht wert,hab ik auch lange Zeit gemacht und viel Geld mit verschwendet. Cheers

[@wolframheldmaier727]

Wer billig kauft, kauft zweimal. Für diesen Preis kaufe ich lieber ein Zoom B3n und kann viel mehr Effekte „ausprobieren“

[@khanjah6357]

First

[@ViciousMaximus]

"Do math not meth"??? I can do both

[@liamtahaney713]

Dear lord the octave sounds terrible.
