Literally no one can teach like Ian. And he can smash any genre of bass playing on earth with all the joy in the world and without ever looking like he's trying. Love this dude.
Ian gotta say.Youve taken SBL, podcasting and learning to a whole nother level.Your detail and precise attention to every facet from gear to time signatures is unparalleled.Youre the full package.Much respect to you!
Dude, please do more gear reviews like this… You are one of the best communicators and love your content… (Love you too Scott 😁) Would love to see your take on the SA C4 (envelope filters and synths) Atlas compressor, Broughton Josh Wah… I love when you review pedals and use them in the right context… Keep em coming… ✌️😎
I just love Ian! As soon as I saw the announcement for this pedal, I was intrigued. I read the specs and description, I knew I wanted it. I watched this video, and Ian has made me even more excited for it. I don't know if my next pedal purchase will be tomorrow or a year from now, but I know it will be this pedal. Thank you, Ian and everyone at SBL, you keep me excited to practice and write.
This just might be a new item on my to get -list. I haven't really done much pedal work although I've been playing for almost two decades! I think there's some value in learning not to rely solely on compression in order to get a consistent tone, but there are some things that you just need a pedal for. And these were some really sweet sounds. Super cool video, Ian, and it's easy to believe that you enjoy making them. It just shines through! Inspiring stuff
Oh! Yeah, brother! This has to be about the best edited video you've ever made! Can really feel your excitement about the gear as well. With your quality experience and knowledge, along with your reputation with synth-sounding-bass, I will most definitely watch any and all gear vids you put out. With SBL quality standing behind you as well, GO FOR THE GEAR VIDEOS! We're with you!
Great review! An A/B of the pedal vs clean tone is super helpful. Evening out the levels (clean is much lower) would help even more. I know that the pedal adds gain, but the super quiet clean channel makes it hard to really get tone quality differences.
Yep to both comments here. And it would have been super easy to fix this in post. It's not like he would have had to spend time during the video level-matching.
Really enjoyed this video. My only suggestion is similar to one posted earlier: make the output volume during the A/B test more even. This way we can hear the true tone difference. Since I am not someone who normally wants any distortion on my signal, I am extremely interested in the EQ, cab simulation, and compression. Thank you. Great job!!!!
I’ve bought 3 Darkglass pedals in the past, so made a pact to be satisfied with what I have a while back. All their gear sound great, but face it, if you buy something , they will still release something newer, more advanced, sexier, etc. a few months later, and you’ll be left thinking , “ ooo, I want that. “
Dude, you know your stuff when it comes to theory, gear and whatnot but what I like about you is you just throw down some super cool, groovin' BASS! Keep up the good work!🤘🤘
I love Ian's excitement about bass. That's exactly how I feel sometimes. Bass is such a great instrument and we're so fortunate to have such a first-rate channel like this to all geek out on it together.
First of all, I love the new gear analysis pieces you do, keep them up. I would be interested in a bit more info about this one. Very fascinating piece of gear. I'd love to hear back from you after you try the audio interface functionality of it too.
Thanks for this video Ian, you are knocking it out of the park with your enthusiasm and love of the bass along with Scott and SBL! I would love to see more dives into HX stomp presets and I have already tried one of your synth patches and I love it! Thanks again for what you are doing and creating!
The Alpha Omega Photon let's you select between active and passive pick ups when you connect to the Darkglass app, i assume this one let's you do the same
After Ian's great review, I'm seriously considering the Darkglass MIcrotubes Infinity as my single pedal for a live rig. It seems like it would be flexible enough to handle the variety of styles I play. I'm excited to try one!
I use the Photon as my core tone preamp/distortion/DI/compressor/cab sim. Killer unit, I expect this is much the same. The HX Stomp next to it on my board gives me access to literally any effect I could ever want, while the Photon keeps my core tone intact no matter what.
Absolutely. In fact, I think I will now pick one of these up and get rid of my earlier Alpha Omega Darkglass and a Darkglass compressor. Great review Ian and you and Scott are fantastic together. You both show so much fun and joy in what you do. It’s contagious and so needed. Thank you both truly for such a great channel and for all you do for bass education.
While I own a couple of DG pedals (Vintage Microtubules,Harmonic Booster) and while I like these a lot the DG "metal" isn't my bag. But this Infinity does look to be the total package as you demonstrate.Very useful.Good job!
@@spothra8862 That's why I like the Vintage Microtubules, it's in a different zone than their BK stuff and it has great control of tones.The Harmonic Booster,a great clean preamp that has tremendous EQ.
That's why my favorite pedal of theirs is the Vintage Ultra. But as far as I know, they haven't done a pedal like this one for their Vintage Ultra. I basically want my Vintage Ultra pedal but with more functionality.
Question. If i wanted to this on my board, could i place it so i would get the distortion in the middle of my signal chain but still be able to get all my FX in the DI or would i have to place it last?
I know you already talked a lot about the HX stomp and the pedals you like to use in it as well as the order of the pedals. But I would love to see you create a preset from start to finish, especially the compressor in the HX stomp because I feel like this is the most important part, having the potential of really improving all the pedals that come afterwards or completely ruining the tone. Would really appreciate it if you could cover this. Thank you.
Hi Ian (and SBL), I love your energy. I’m curious about the Two Notes ReVolt Bass Preamp. If you could make demo, that would be great. And as others have noted - please keep volume at the same level when disengaged.
Thanks for making my decision harder. I was planning on adding an omicron to my pedalboard so I had another option besides my B7K. Now I have to consider one of them as well. Darkglass are amazing and your videos are awesome. Just the right ratio of information and passion.
I'm really loving the gear videos to be honest. Your reviews are really inspiring. So much so that I bought a Helix Stomp, so my request would be to do a breakdown of that one. How you set your presets etc. Thanks
I Love all the gear stuff and I would really love to get more stuff of hx stomp - all the sounds you get out of are amazing, And btw. - how do you get this amazing sound on the videos ? All direct out of your pedalboard / noble preamp in the Interface ? Or do you use amp and box for these videos ? Thanx for doing all the stuff !
I have a B7K Ultra and it's great, I've used it for metal tones and for performing worship music at a church all the time. Now I kind of want one of these for the onboard compression and tuning, seems cool. Would love to hear more about bass gear from you guys. I still need some kind of compressor and have always wanted a good bass chorus and possibly delay/octave/fuzz pedals. I just don't really know what's good for bass and it's hard to try things out these days!
Does it split input signals? Classic Riccyz split the bridge and neck geetar signals to allow you to do yer thang? Does this split input signals and process them separately? And output a faithful representation of the true combined signal?
Another great video! I dare anybody to watch any one of Ian's videos and not get superpumped and want to pick up their bass! You're an inspiring addition to SBL. I have to go play my bass now! 🤘
Shout out from Minnesota! I live in Buffalo! Love your bass playing, so infectious. I had no idea you were around here. Damn, wanna hang out and slapuhdabass?!
Hello Ian, I would like to know if it is possible to insert the application that comes with it as an insert in a DAW. I would also like to know the difference with the parallax application. As I have the app I wonder if for the recording it would be worth buying it ? P.S I don't do concerts just from the studio, so my needs are just for recording. 🎸🎻🤟
Hey @iallison2112 et al, I keep coming back to this playlist looking for another gear review like this. I'd love to see a comparison on all the new super preamps / DI hitting the market right now. There was this Darkglass Microtubes Infinity, Ampeg SGT-DI, Two Notes Revolt Bass, Bergantino Super Pre, etc. Which would you throw in you bag for a jam, a gig, the studio, recording at home, etc.? How much do Cab sims & IRs make a difference if you are plugging it into your rig anyway? Would you still put a compressor pedal in there, or is the on board good enough? Inquiring minds want to know.....
I allready own a Microtubes 500v2 amp head, but in the studio, using the DI and cab sim, I have a very very low gain and the head doesn't have any gain control. I'm wondering if this beautiful thing, the Infinit, has a gain control for the DI. Does it?
Hi there, thanks for that great presentation! I loved to see it from beginning to end. This box really sounds great and I really understand, why you are so much excited. I play bass since a couple of years. I have a Zoom B1.X pedal board and I loved it. But I finally went back to the clean sound without any effects. OK - that's for sure a very personal taste, if using effects or not, but 550 Euros is worth to think it over. Greetings from rhine-main-region, germany Alex
Love darkglass! They are way over-hated. They do not just have one sound as you display in this video. People just need to utilize the controls on both their bass, pedal, and amp better and remember that lots of tone comes from your fingers/pick
@@joshuadelaughter7968 Because most people who by Darkglass use it for the “Nolly” metal tone. They are also way more expensive than other brands. Get what you pay for though.
@@joshuadelaughter7968for some reason it became niche cool to hate dark glass 🤷 I think haters are slowly going away with the ultra and this line of pedals
Wow, what a great pedal! But, the one thing that I would love to see in these types of pedals ( especially at this price point) is phantom power! I have the Tech 21 VT DELUXE PEDAL, besides that I do love the sounds that I can achieve, the thing that really sets it apart is the phantom power. I’ve been moving away from using bass rigs on stage to plugging straight into the board. Using my VT deluxe allows me to do that without any external power source needed. Bass-pedal-mixer, done! Thanks for the great review! I hope that more of these great pedals start incorporating phantom power.
Spot on. I have rhe Bass Driver Deluxe & the phantom power aspect is so useful. I was gutted that the Tech 21 Dug Pinnick pedal doesn't have it...too small for a battery compartment as well!
Not at all! You could use the YYZ for an additional boost after the darkglass or vice versa. Just more total variety. Just think of your YYZ as preset 4!
Ian - I LOVE what you're doing with this channel right now! I want you to talk to me about fanned fret basses (aka Dingwall - but not limited to…). What are you general reflections? What do you Love. Whadya Hate? Hungry to hear…
Loved that video! I have the X Ultra which also gives me everything I need (except for an audio interface 😂) The XU is a perfect practice and rigging gig, giving clean tone, distorted tone, low band compression and full band compression 🥰 just don't know if I want to take the plunge and go for this pedal yet...
Hi Ian, great review. I recently bought an HX Stomp and I'm wondering whether I should have bought one of these instead!! I'm not a great user of pedals and play live through amp and cab so don't go to a desk or do much recording so don't really need amp/cab simulation. I'm struggling to get great tones from the Stomp, I've tried both straight into power amp (Ashdown ANT) and the 4CM with my GK Fusion 500 amp. What do you think? Should I swith from Stomp to the Microtubes Infinity. Any advice greatly appreciated :)
Love these pedals I've got the ADAM and it is the power house of my rig, gigging XLR to desk with no amp definitely lighter on the road and also as a audio interface at home or live
No matter how passionate you think you are about bass guitar, watching any video with Ian increases that passion exponentially.

I have one of those! I should review it
Great performance great sound. These all-in-one petals are super slick, but they would totally overwhelm me
I think it is better to start out with single pedals then as you get to know them, consolidate to multis if you want
Yes I'd love to see some non-bias reviews on pedals of the same effect from cheapest to most expensive
