Great demo! Its nice to have someone really focus on a product in a way that shows how precisely it functions. This thing is surgical in its precision. My only dig on your video is that it isnt long enough. Would be great to see you add bass lines to a few different mixes (Rush and otherwise) in a pro recording setting. Not really a dig, perhaps you could do another video doing just that. Great job!!!
Glad you liked it and thanks for the feedback! I’ve used the pedal in a few other videos in my channel. Here’s a recent one: ua-cam.com/video/HEnYObvkBTc/v-deo.html
I would like to see video comparation this pedal VS EBS Billy Sheehan Ultimate Signature Drive, they sound really similar, to me on youtube videos. Great video as usually
This thing is awesome, first pedal I ever bought. I'm a fretless only player and this thing can unfortunately make some awful sounds on fretless that aren't present on a fretted bass. But it also makes some amazing tunes on fretless, just make sure your cat doesn't play with the knobs between practices hahahaha
Hey TB Dingwall brother….can you please do this again with your Super P/J? I’m very interested in this pedal and wold love to hear it with the Super P. Thanks!!!
Hey love the video thank you. It's made me go out and buy one. Ha. What's the intro tune your playing if you dont mind me asking as it sounds great and what are you playing also? God I'd love the tab for that. Keep safe.
Hey there! That’s awesome. Congratulations 🙌🏽 I write all the intro tunes myself, so no TAB at the moment. I might release some sort of TAB bundle because I get asked that same thing quite often 😄
@@IvanBassist wow that was quick oh yes tab would be great that's one kicking ass tune that you start the video with. I'd even pay for that buddy. Thanks.
Great pedal - hope they one day make it in the mini FlyRig format like the SH-1 or the dUg pedal. Then I would get one, even so I already have the Steve Harris SH-1! These mini FlyRigs are awesome. All in one including a great tuner! Tech21 make one and give it to Geddy to try ... I am sure he will love it.
I prefer “normal” pedals, to be honest. They just released a more compact version of the rack unit 2122 but in a pedalboard format. Definitely looking forward to giving that one a try
Are you reading my mind? LOL - How is it that every few weeks you review something of major interest to me? Well, I won't question it, I'll just enjoy. Another great review, Ivan! I just "liked" you on FB. I'll send you a message to make the connection.
Hi. Can i get the same kind of distortion used by geddy Lee with another pedal like a Tube screamer or another pedal or is better to buy his signature sansamp pedals ? Thanks.
Hey there! I mean, the easiest way would be to get the yyz pedal, but you can get jn the ballpark by using a regular sansamp bass driver or VT bass. There are other brands making cross-over pedals like this one, too. If you want to use a tube screamer, you’re probably gonna have to split your signal to have a clean signal and an overdriven one and then blend those 2 together
I been playing bass professionally for decades. I just got one of these last week.....And, trust me, it is best thing that ever happened to my sound. If you get one, let me know how you like it. I'll bet you'll love it, like I do.
Hi, I have been watching your videos on your channel lately, and I like your gear reviews, i think they are very helpful. I currently have an Eden WTDI pedal and a Hartke Bass Attack 2 and in the past I had an Ampeg SCR-DI that I regretfully sold, but anyways, that´s another story…al lof them I use them as DIs. The thing is I wanted a different sound and I plan to sell my Hartke pedal. My Eden I have set up for warm but defined sound. I like the versatility of this pedal, but would prefer a DI pedal. I have always been a fan of Geddy Lee and Steve Harris sound. However, I cannot justify the Price of the Sansamp 2112 DI to my wife and get away with it without having a problem with her. But, this pedal is still priced within “acceptable” range for my wife, I hope. The thing is that i use these pedals as DIs only and love the portability and convenience. Do you think if I use the ¼ output of this pedal combined with a ¼ to XLR adaptor it might work decently enough to be used as DI? What would be the implications from output, sound quality and integrity point of view? I have never used those adaptors and I am relatively new to this whole ampless, DI world for bass players. Thanks for your comments
Hey there! Thanks for watching :) I would advise against getting a converter for the pedal into an XLR cable. If you already have the WTDI it would be better to use that DI out, instead. If you do not want to stack up preamps (both the YYZ and WTDI at the same time), you can turn off the WTDI and turn on the YYZ when needed. Alternatively, you could try to talk to your wife about not buying the pedal *right now*, but save up for the 2112 DI. Instead of buying 2 pedals, you get to buy one that is a bit more expensive, but that you really want :D
@@IvanBassist hahaha...thanks for the advice! Actually, I have seen the specs on the 2112 DI and I think it does have too much complexity going on (dedicated lines out for the clean and distorted signals) both for 1/4 as well as Xlr cables, so I was thinking more of this pedal for the simplicity except for the lack of DI output. But I just forgot that I also need another 1/4 out for my practice amp that I use as my monitor, so maybe this pedal wouldn't work. Do you think you could get similar sounds out of the v2 Bass Driver? For what I have seen on UA-cam, i think so. What do you think?
I haven’t used the SH 1 pedal, but the tight knob here filters the frequencies so that only the mids and treble get distorted and then you can blend in clean low end. Without it, the entire frequencies get distorted
so clear and crunch even on fast runs i can see why this was made , great demo
AJ Thanks, AJ! It is definitely a very cool pedal that covers a lot of ground depending on the settings:)
This is better than Sweetwater's demo, awesome job :)
This is one of my favorite drive pedals 🔥
I agree much more attacking aggressive bass player like Geddy.

I gotta get one of those. Very good playing skills man. Thank you.
Chrstopher Thomas Thanks!! :) it is a great unit
Thanks for the demo, is the best one I've seen of this pedal, I will have to get it jajaja Cheers man!!
Gasson Channel Oh wow! Thanks for the kind words! Let me know how you like the pedal :)!
I would like to see video comparation this pedal VS EBS Billy Sheehan Ultimate Signature Drive, they sound really similar, to me on youtube videos. Great video as usually
Yeah, to me too. Also in the same pool is the Tech 21 Doug Pinnick foot switch. It has a crunch knob that dials in Doug's EQ settings. Sweet sauce!
Excellent demo, very well explained, very clear. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Rainer! I’m glad you find it useful!
Thanks man! One of the best demonstrations I’ve seen in a while
Thanks 🙏🏽! Glad to hear the video was helpful. It’s a great pedal!
Nice job Ivan, Also loving all your Dingwalls
Very good review... I will look for this pedal
It’s great!
The clean tone even sounds good I wish on the new di 2112..they had the switch to switch the drive in and out
I haven’t tried that one, yet
@@IvanBassist would you say the clean gets nice and clean or does it always retain a little dirt...
@@pjfields2382 if you run the gain pretty low it stays pretty clean. If you dig in, then you get a bit of breakup
Great demo..I think this may be my next pedal
Thanks! It’s a great pedal!

Great Playing Bro!
Thanks! 🙏🏽
Hey TB Dingwall brother….can you please do this again with your Super P/J? I’m very interested in this pedal and wold love to hear it with the Super P. Thanks!!!
Hey there! Sure. I’ll record something with the Super PJ + YYZ. Could you PM on talkbass so that I can send you a link once its done? :)
Great review, man. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!

It wasn’t my bass 😅 Didn’t want to peel it off haha

Baggman 😂😂😂 glad to help! Sure hit me up on Facebook :) Thanks for watching!
I have a Traynor tube head and a Bass Blogger. Anyone on hear think the Tech21 would be a better option for me? Thanks all!!
The YYZ is great!
Best review on that pedal. What was the bass guitar you were playing with ?
Thanks for the kind words! That’s a G&L JB Tribute
I have one love it for Rush...how you set it for slap bass?
Great review! Woud you recomend me gedd lee signiture or regular tech 21 bass driver ?
Hmm they both sound different. If you need a DI output, definitely go with the bass driver
Finally was able to order one from Musician's Friend today !!
Awesome! Congratulations!
Nice vid
how do you like the overdrive when the pedal is plugged into the amp?
I really like it! It’s become my main drive pedal
IvanBassist
great!
I bet the pedal with overdrive in the amp must sound nice!

Thanks!
What kind of bootleg Tom Sawyer riff was that
🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Where is the best placement on ones pedalboard?
Hey Kev! Thanks for watching! Well, that depends on what your goals are with the pedal and what else you have on your pedalboard
Hola Iván! Crees que este pedal me ayude a acercarme al tono de Justin Chancellor?
Hmm bastante depende del tipo de bajo que uses
@@IvanBassist actualmente un Fender jazz american professional
Creo que si te podria servir, pero tal vez la version mas grande (DI-2112) funcione mejor
@@IvanBassist gracias Iván! Siempre tan gentil

I haven’t used the SH 1 pedal, but the tight knob here filters the frequencies so that only the mids and treble get distorted and then you can blend in clean low end.
Without it, the entire frequencies get distorted
Does it need a preamp? Or can it be connected directly to a sound card?
It doesn’t have a DI/XLR out, but most interfaces can take a regular instrument input
Ivan picked the plastic off your Picard and pick ups. That’s lazy and looks like crap.
It was a loan bass. I couldn’t :)
YYNOT would you buy it?
