    In an ideal world, Nate should review all the bass products, especially the stompboxes because his demonstration is: a) skilled as hell in terms of technique and yet played quite approachable to everyone, regardless of style preferences and b) he's didactic in his demonstrations and very passionate while doing it, but at the same time he never exceeds into subjectivity and drama-stlye performance or explicit emotional bias towards certain products/manufacturers. Keep your marvelous approach for many years ahead, Nate, you're great inspiration to me!

      I've become addicted to preamps.I love the YYZ and the 2112 is a little more versatile.Might be my G.O.A.T. along with the Bass Butler.But this is definitely a great one too,just different.

    This pedal is a vital part of my sound, especially given that I play with some vintage acoustic amps, that don’t have that many tone shaping options, this is like adding 6 knobs to my amp, I love it.

    I like how u mentioned not needing new strings as often because I had my preamp on my x ultra pumped and it sounded so bright I was like wow low key I can avoid money strings for a while, lol great playing as always Nate!! Would love to see you play a dark ray!!

    I've recently found used Harmonic Booster in mint condition for a fair price and wanted to partly satisfy my curiosity about DG products, so it seemed like a fair starter. I've tried putting it as the first unit in the signal chain, and after the two stacked overdrives (Battalion+MXR M80). Putting it AFTER the overdrive suits my sound taste much, much better - Its 'character' knob works great (and noticeably better) when the unit is put after the already overdriven signal - it seems to me that it blends in/out that 'Darkglass sound engine' which adds a lot of brightness/crispness and attack to the sound, even when all the EQ knobs on it are set completely flat because its EQ works at the same boost/cut levels, no matter at which position the 'character' is set. Cheers!

    @LunatiqueRob 3 года назад

    I've been on the fence about this pedal for a long time, and I've watched many videos demoing it, but yours is the one that actually convinced me to go for it. No one demonstrated the "old strings sounding new" again as convincingly as you did. (I do wonder if I could achieve the same result with just plugins though.)

    Hi Nate. So I really want to buy the Jackson bass you played in this video, but in that blue finish. And I was just wondering how is your experience with it? The bass I am looking for is impossible to find in Belgium so it is going to be a coinflip and I want some extra info about it. I was also looking into the Ibanez sr1300 premium, but I just love the finish on the Jackson. I play a lot of slap funk, rock, even metal like TOOL. I have a small band where we play rock covers from bands like the peppers or we just jam around and than we end up with funk rock most of the time. Would recommend it? Thanks in advance and have a great day!
