What's SUB?!?! DOD Meatbox vs. Mantic HULK vs. BOSS OC2

[@haniwa3276]

I just got the Meatbox for my 5 strings bass. It doesn’t work on most positions on 4th and 5th string, tho. Hulk works better on lower notes (strings)?

[@olilutz]

yes, it it super limited works best around 10th till 15th fret on E/A/D strings...

[@SonicExplorer]

Which do you prefer more the mantic or meatbox?

[@olilutz]

good question... I think the Meatbox is a bit more gentile and soft... the hulk has some more edge in the tone... I installed 'em both on my board because of these nuances :)

[@totalSLACK]

Where does the Magpie Bit Pirate fall in the comparison?

[@olilutz]

hey SLACK, before your comment, I've never heard of the Magpie Bit Pirate before - maybe I'll have the chance to try it some day :) thanks for the input!

[@totalSLACK]

@@olilutz it seems like it has the same kinda control as the DOD, but with the triple bypass surgery and maybe even a more BITten sound!

[@olilutz]

@@totalSLACK sounds awesome... ok, I need one 😅

[@olilutz]

Hey@@totalSLACK I tried the Bit Pirate 2 weeks ago... insane pedal, but It does not have a hi cut, so it sounds very aggressive... I had to send it back :(

[@totalSLACK]

@@olilutz wooooow cooool .. any sound clips or a YT video?

[@arthuraguirrejr.9500]

Where do you put the compressor? Before or after Octave?

[@olilutz]

Hey Arthur, I put it before the compressor to stabilize the signal that goes into the octaver! :)

[@arthuraguirrejr.9500]

@@olilutz awesome thank you!

[@RallyWays]

@@olilutz Hmm. I have to try that. I usually go octave first.

[@olilutz]

@@RallyWays yeah, check it out and let me know if you liked it :)

I own all three, though mine is the Density Hulk(4 knobs). In my rig, MEATBOX hits the subs hard and best left alone in a live setting. Hulk follows close behind as it being a clone and all. OC2 suited for synth like sub and the best of the 3 to record with.

[@olilutz]

Hey Stario, I totally agree with you! :)

[@marcf2895]

By “left alone”, do you mean not use it live? Is it too much?

[@olilutz]

I think @stario meant to not use it with other effects combined, right Stario?

[@stario]

I meant to say, is best for a live setting for speaker blasting
