    That pedal sounds so aggressive, with great lows and punchy mids that are all controllable with the EQ (fantastic addition and well designed). The "Growl" and "Bite" buttons are simply awesome, and get right to the point, no explanation necessary; I love it. My favorite bassist is gonna be Fieldy from Korn. I feel like this is a pedal he'd appreciate as much as I would for the aggression it offers.

    • @Phicxtion
      @Phicxtion Год назад

      Fieldys tone is very mid scooped and overall mostly clean with a lot of treble side for the clicky sound of his.

    @Raffinix666 6 лет назад +31

    Jason Newsted is definitely my all-time favorite! Because of him I started playing with pick. Other favorites are Justin Chancellor (Tool), Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne) and Evan Brewer (Entheos)

    • @HOLLOWOXDT1
      @HOLLOWOXDT1 6 лет назад +2

      Me Too Jason Newsted Was the Main Reason i picked a bass . luckily i have discovered other great bassists like tony levin , dave larue , jimmy johnson,alain caron,bryan beller,randy george , pete trewavas .........

      Justin's tone is incredible. It is the best bass tone for rock music that I've ever heard imo. I love it. He uses a 2 amps, 1 dirty 1 clean and blends them. These Darkglass pedals can get you close to his tone with the blend knob.

      @@matthewd6306 it also helps that justin plays a 15,000 dollar Wal bass, those things have every bit of the tone, I mean all of it...if you want that tone with out having to finance a small car's worth of bass, try these pickups...they are as close to a Wal bass that I have ever heard, and much easier on the wallet www.rautiaguitars.net/multi-coil-bass-pickups.html

  • @abhijeetsingh9450
    @abhijeetsingh9450 6 лет назад +1

    Great Demo! My All Time Favorite Bass player is Clifford Lee Burton, I think because he played with his soul and that connected with me on a whole different level. 1962 - forever

  • @shanereimer4348
    @shanereimer4348 6 лет назад +1

    Sweet pedal! I want one! My favorite bassist changes week to week, I have been loving the sound of Casey Lipka of Cake lately. Simple, sounds great, and lots of groove!

  • @justincurtner4818

  • @daveother
    @daveother 6 лет назад +1

    Holy crap, that thing is lovely.
    Steve Harris was the reason I picked up a bass, still have his influence in my playing 30 years later!

  • @Steeb1983
    @Steeb1983 6 лет назад +4

    Ryan Martinie through and through... when it comes to bass playing for the most part his technique and tuning scheme is quite unique and just sounds flattering to the ears even though it’s heavy metal. Glad he has a new band but would love to see him use his chops in a super group.

  • @Ginnagan
    @Ginnagan 6 лет назад +2

    Robert Trujillo and Geddy Lee when I was younger, they had a awesome grindy bass sound, it always stood out for me, nowdays its Tesseract's Amos Williams, Karnivool's John Stockman and Polyphia's Clay Gober that make spicy bass tones.

  • @pagemaster9600
    @pagemaster9600 6 лет назад +4

    my favourite bass player ever is no contest cliff burton, he is the one who made me start playing bass, when I heard his solo in kill em all album i was hooked forever on bass before I had i cheap guitar hat my dad bought me but cliff changed my life forever. RIP Cliff

    • @oscargomez7520
      @oscargomez7520 6 лет назад

      He was very creative...he's the reason I started playing bass I'd never heard any one like him.

  • @CorporalGylton
    @CorporalGylton 6 лет назад +2

    Andy Rourke from the Smiths, as a bassist in a band with only one other guitarist, he opened my eyes and ears to how the bass can really fill out the sound of a group.

  • @Aurichu
    @Aurichu 6 лет назад +1

  • @mrjpuddin5637

    Amos Williams is favorite of mine. The pedal sounds sick. benefits from that EQ are huge!

  • @Derpboy
    @Derpboy 6 лет назад +1

    Just when I think I have a complete pedal board Darkglass do this!
    Bill Gould is by far my favourite and most inspirational bass player (and he is an M900 player), his lines and tone are so tasty.

  • @opusinwub

  • @El_Dub1993
    @El_Dub1993 6 лет назад +1

    Thanks for this opportunity to win! My favorite bassist of all time is the one and only cliff burton. The first time I heard “For Whom The Bell Tolls” and found out the intro was the bass guitar I decided then and there its what I wanted to play!

  • @killermiaofficial

  • @jotun725
    @jotun725 6 лет назад +1

  • @Antmanflyjr

    I would say my favorite bassist is Thundercat. His phrasing is amazing and he's the reason I bought a 6 string bass. Truly an inspiration

  • @kev_n.5229
    @kev_n.5229 6 лет назад +1

    Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy may not have been the most technical bassist but he was a true inspiration to me picking up a bass and singing. Awesome sounds from that pedal I could utilize it for sure!

  • @Garnoo
    @Garnoo 6 лет назад +1

    My favorite old school bassist is Geddy Lee, one of the fathers of progressive rock/metal. If I were to choose between modern bassists, it would probably be between Daniel Oliver from Nothing More (just listen to Don't Stop and you'll see what I mean) and everybody's friendly neighborhood Nolly (because Nolly)

  • @the_nowyn

    @Cuncvir 6 лет назад +1

    Geezer Butler for the win! He inspired all those heavy rock and metal bass players we love. Just listen to his NIB intro solo with Black Sabbath and you’ll get what I mean! And I see a strong potential in Alpha Omega Ultra in recreating his tone in modern era. 🎸

  • @Dade-ul3nt

  • @salvadorsilva109

  • @squidsalive
    @squidsalive 6 лет назад +2

    Tim Commorford from RATM - that got me into bass with accessible but groovy and often challenging riffs. I have never looked back and still play some RATM after 10 years on bass. If I win this pedal I will make the first video of myself playing bass on youtube.

  • @edwardross1052
    @edwardross1052 6 лет назад +2

    Great demo. It really gives a feel for what this pedal can do. I have to give credit to Matt Freeman from Rancid for showing me that bass doesn't have to simply repeat four notes throughout the song.

  • @serphalanges2283
    @serphalanges2283 6 лет назад +8

    My favorite bassist is Justin Chancellor. He taught me that the bass can be even more interesting and better sounding than guitar. He taught me that the bassist doesn't have to hide in the background playing the root. And he taught me about amazing distortion and good tone. I picked my Stingray because I know he used one a few times on one of Tool's albums. He's my hero.

  • @david_rstv
    @david_rstv 6 лет назад +6

    The extra EQ-options add so much versatility to the sound of this little precious pretty thingy... i own the original alpha/omega and in my setup its an (almost) always on pedal. Since i'm totally into the modern darkglass and dingwall sounds and am a converted guitarist myself i vote for Adam Nolly Getgood without thinking about it - the way he plays and composes his bass lines fulfills what i think bass should sound like in downtuned music that is a bit on the technical/progressive side of things! Please let me get that shiny new toy or i have to buy it :( :D

  • @trentonvonnahme8411
    @trentonvonnahme8411 6 лет назад +5

    Great demo! Chris Squire would be my all time favorite. He always managed to drive the tunes, in Yes, in super creative ways that didn't detract from the songs. I also think he is one of the first people who thought to themselves, "How can I brutalize people with my bass tone?"

  • @brandkroger8438

  • @justindecarlo9258
    @justindecarlo9258 6 лет назад +1

    Man what a nice demo and what a beast of a pedal! The only problem I'm facing now is that I can't choose between Jon Stockman and Justin Chancellor. Both bassists have such a gnarly tone and I'm definitely a fan of having a bit of dirt in your signal chain. Love that you show what the EQ is capable of, it sounds very usable and musical. Also, thanks for doing a giveaway, that's awesome!

  • @Carnstein
