One question that's really important for bass which I never see covered explicitly is "does the low end change at all when turning the pedal on?" It's like specifically in that moment where you go from clean to overdrive, do you feel that low end dropping off at all? Or does it suddenly start emphasizing a different frequency of low end? (ie: your bass is pushing 50hz but the pedal's bass EQ is centered at 80hz). A lot of fuzzes and overdrives appear to have adequate low end when you just leave them on all the time, but what if you're the type of player that switches from clean to overdrive mid-song? Lots and lots of drive pedals - even ones that are designed for bass - drop some low end compared to the clean sound. And of those that don't, a lot of them only work well with passive basses. A pedal might preserve 100% of the low end of a P bass, but if you play a Stingray with the bass knob maxed out you'll run into this issue. The pedal becomes useless because turning it on feels like less rather than more. Would love to see this talked about in these types of videos.
That's a really great point. We generally just think "low end good? dry blend? alrightythen" but some pedals specifically emphasize different lows. Brassmasters, for instance, tend to have a Bass knob that should be a clean blend, but it takes away the lowest lows from that clean and emphasizes higher-freq lows, like 100-150hz or maybe even more into low-mid territory. Maybe we'll try to assess this point on fuzzes, but it could be difficult to quantify.
@@kaznrg If you're replying to me, then I will clarify that I mean it could be useful to figure out the character itself of the low-end retention, if it's audible, instead of just 'is it there? mostly yeah'
I'm not really into fuzz at all but god damn, after your review on the Jupiter and this one... my poor bank account! And by the way, VERY reminiscent of the Alpha Omega!
I really hope you didn't get paid for this. Or even given the pedal. You read the promo material and didn't even explain what settings you were using for the demo sounds. I think I somehow know less about what this pedal does AFTER watching this video.
I really hope you didn’t have to pay to watch a video that nobody forced you to watch. Oh, that’s right, you didn’t. Sorry that we tried to show you how a pedal sounds. We don’t get paid enough (or at all, just like you hoped) to break down every single setting and how it works for you. If your ears can’t help you decide if you like it or not, I don’t know how else to help you.
Lovin Fuzz Fridays! Great way to kickstart rockin weekend. Keep up the great work!
Sounds awesome. Great work Chuck.
Finally! A review of this for bass!
We all knew it'd be good... but damn it's incredible
It sounds great!!!
Great bass
I love fuzz Fridays!! Would have been nice to hear a few different basses through the box though
That was the original plan but simply putting down the G3 after you’ve started playing it is not as easy at it looks.
@@TheBassChannel haha it does sound awesome
I tried!!! Honest… but… the G3…. Man it’s just too good!
@@Therealchuckbailey I’m very envious!
Yeah - how does it handle a low B.

No low end was harmed in the making of this video! Low end retention was great!
The hell are you talking about? Every single time you stick the words “bass” and “effect” together, somebody shows up asking about the low end.

@@kaznrg yes,. because without low end you lose the point of playing bass
Fuzz Fridays AF 🤘

I don't like the 3 knob ones, with no blend.
I WANT THAT BASS.
This pedal looks and sound sick. Is this pedal only for Bass and drums? Or can you use it for guitars???
Nope! It works for guitar also!
Yikes! Who still buys Monster Cable audio?
I’ve had them for about 8 years now. I haven’t had any issues. 🤷🏻♂️
Most of y’all videos clean tone y never clean.. just saying
It's probably because our baseline is usually a "clean" SVT sound!
