Nice playing and thanks for talking a bit about the pedal compared to the b:ass version. I love Paul and josh, I just bought this pedal so I am excited to try it out. Get their Downer pedal it is incredible!
That's the beautiful thing: I'm not running through an amp! Everything is DI'd with a Tech21 VT Bass for amp simulation and the loudest thing in the room is me talking. But also, I'm sure they think I'm a prick anyway :P
Hi, exellent demo/playing! How it response, work with active bass and hot pickups? Jazz bass for example? Does it fails as other similar sounding fuzzes (wooly mamooth, FOG etc... ) beacause of input impedance or not? THX in advance!
Great question. Whilst I didn't try this one directly with an Active bass, I have had the Malekko B:assmaster and currently have the Black Cat Bass Octave Fuzz which are both Brassmaster clones like the Diabolik. I've found they work equally fine with active and passive pickups, but I do think if you are hitting the Diabolik with hot pickups or boosts before it, you might miss out on some of the great dynamic sounds it's capable of, but no you shouldn't have the same impedance issues that you would get with a woolly mammoth and an active bass
@@TheoAndHisPedals Fast response. BRAVO and many many thanks! Just one more "quick" question... Between plucks, hiting notes, does pedal have feedback, noise, humms like older fuzzes, muffs or it can be tamed? I mean staccato, faster playing with more agressive, cuting notes with finger kick and bite? Can it be set not to produce mess and noise between notes, fairly enough? Probably noise gate would minimize that if pedal cant? Thanx again very much for proffesionalism and sorry for my bad english :)
So I feel that the Diabolik does have some noise gate-like qualities to it and so found it tight and not noisy between notes BUT because it's a very dynamic fuzz and essentially how hard you play effects how hard the notes are compressed, you might find that when you play quietly it might actually sounds louder than when you play hard (depending on your settings of course)

Oh i have really wanted the downer for ages.
Interesting fuzz.Malekko makes some cool stuff.I have the Downer and it's a wild one also.
One day i will get the Downer. I love Malekko and the Downer just kinda screams for me to give it a go.
I'll bet your upstairs neighbors love you, too!
