I am really digging this Nux Melvin Lee Bass Preamp + Di. Was looking for a pre-amp with a light-duty drive. This definitely has a nice simple drive. I love that you can go in and change the IR settings on your computer and select the head and cab sims that work for you. My preference is the MLD amp combined with the SV810 cabinet. Another great feature is the ability to turn the cab/amp sim on or off to your amp output and the XLR output. I like engaged for my in-ears and to house XLR output and OFF to my stage amp. There have been some negative comments about the software but they have since updated the firmware to V4 and I had no problem.
I got this pedal for a present! It's a wonderful piece of hardware especially if you're playing straight into the mix console and using in-ear. The sound of the IR simulators is amazing!
@zjlen ... If you plug in your headphones to the pedal, Does it affect the D.I. out signal? Coz I would like to use it as my In Ear Monitor during a live gig, Just wondering if its possible or not. Thanks in advance
This is an absolutely wonderful pedal. Beware of buggy software. I was waiting for a bass version of the Strymon Iridium. This will do nicely. The one downside is that away from the editor, you have to decide on which amp and IR you can use.

Hi, i would have a question, i m building a compact battery powered bass amplifier, so j would use an hifi speaker plus class d amp+ preamp with IR o cab simulator. So i can also plug other instruments to it (like the volca sample) because it has a flat and hifi response if i bypass the pedal. Do you think this pedal could be ok (to be hooked directly to the clean hifi sustem)? What about the cheaper harley benton custom line Bass DI expander?(i see you reviewed it, and it has the compressor) Thanks for the good video
I loved this thing as a headphone amp, but the software was a pain in the ass. Lucky that the stock sound was great but still would have been nice to have that work.
Commonly, my brother playing very well at a Bass at church and some coffeeshop.. So I giving him my old Zoom B1 multieffects for tweaking some tone.. I hope I can helping him for find a new pedal, so, is good for upgrade from Zoom B1 to Zoom B1 Bfour or to this Nux preamp? He playing many effects modulation and any variations like octaver and others, so it be complicated for me to choose for him...
Hi Gregor. Erst mal wieder Danke für die Produkt Vorstellung..... Immer wieder schön. Frage. Kann ich den Drive so anpassen dass ich beim schalten von Clean auf Dirt einen Lautstärke Unterschied bekomme. So um die 3 bis 5 DB um Präsent zu bleiben. Quasi wie bei meinen trace Elliot ..... Da macht das das Pedal ja automatisch? Dankeschön
I'd like to ask a question. Do the settings you change in the editor while the pedal's hooked up to the computer (ie. Amps and cabinets ir) stay with the pedal or are those options only available when connected to the editor software? I couldn't find anything about this on the reviews and neither on the manual.
René sounds great as always. No matter which device he uses. :-) maybe Melvin and René are so perfect but I mainly need a compressor. If I use this for direkt recording, why Nux has not integrated a compressor?
It's really it's own thing. A dedicated digital preamp/di with ir cab sim where you can change both the preamp modeled and the ir. Easily worth more then the asking price.
Hi Gregor, nice video and it definitely made me wanting this little Preamp. At Thomann and talkbass I read there are several Problems getting the Box hooked up to the SW. Did you have any porblems with yours? Regards, Daniel
Hey Gregor Could you imagine the Nux melvin lee Davis and Darkglass ADAM on the same pedalboard??? Thank for making These Videos with great content and your Germany wit.
Im sorry noob question, im currently put this pedal in the end my pedal board and using the DI output, and i was thinking to get some chorus pedal, so where i put it before or after by using the through output? Im using in order, tuner+compressor+MLD preampthank you so much in advance!@@basstheworldofficial
France (Paris in particular) affords an astounding melange and interaction of the musical traditions of Arabic and African origins in today's music. One of the few upsides to colonialism.
@@jaribu2758 There is no upside to colonialism, I'm pretty sure nations of the world could've discovered each other's culture, become a melting pot without the barbaric brutality of colonialism and I asked about South Africa specifically...the country, not an entire continent because I heard slight whiff of Maskandi in the bass player's approach when he started his demo. ( a distinctly South African sound from KwaZulu)
Do you switch active bass into passive mode while using external preamp pedal If no then what about bass onboard preamp with di pedal preamp on does signal crashes ?or it doesnot effect its signal ???
I preferred the di switch in the down position. Is that with the cab sim on or off? I think it's an oversight that it's not labelled and the instructions on the website miss this also
I want this.However instead of a demo by the likes of Rene who makes anything sound fantastic, I suggest getting a hack like me for your video because if it makes me sound good then it'll really convince buyers
if you say this is melvin lee davis pedals, you have to play one of his songs. Honestly this is a very bad review, you don't show Melvin Lee Davis playing with this pedal at all

René is marvellous as always!
4 Sure!
Been looking for an all-purpose DI and Preamp to send a signal to front of house at shows, this will do nicely - especially for the price!
What bass is that around 2:55? Idk if it’s the pedal or the pickups or both, but that sound is great

Rene with the killer grooves! Great demo for a really interesting pedal
I've had my eye on one of these for a little while now. Thanks for the review. Just purchased through your posted link.

1:43 starts playing the lick from victor wootens super bass solo dvd...
Can you recommend some IRs for bass? Has been searching for one to use in my HX Stomp but never found the one that I like.
Try shift line bass package. It’s free. 10 IRs
Seacow cabs: American invasion or the dark glass IR. They are free but supporting with a small donation won't hurt.
I'd like to ask a question. Do the settings you change in the editor while the pedal's hooked up to the computer (ie. Amps and cabinets ir) stay with the pedal or are those options only available when connected to the editor software? I couldn't find anything about this on the reviews and neither on the manual.
Once you safe the settings, they’re in the pedal. No software needed on the go
@@basstheworldofficial Thank you for such a quick reply! And on a 2 years old vid on top of that!
René sounds great as always. No matter which device he uses. :-) maybe Melvin and René are so perfect but I mainly need a compressor. If I use this for direkt recording, why Nux has not integrated a compressor?
Hlw, may I know about the beautiful basses u have been played nicely?
Thanks, I've been looking for reviews of this pedal since it was announced. Find it very intriguing.
Can i use any 9v adaptor for this,,or any recommendation,, please?
Great pedal...and a great player to demo it!
Can this work for saxophone
I love the sound! Would you recommend this one over the Palmer Pocket Amp as my first preamp? Thank you
Haven’t tried the Palmer but this one here is really good! Can’t go wrong with it
Seems like a good competitor to the Darkglass Ultra series, if maybe slightly less powerful EQ
It's really it's own thing. A dedicated digital preamp/di with ir cab sim where you can change both the preamp modeled and the ir. Easily worth more then the asking price.
Amazing. I wanna play that univox bass!!
Only just a led indicating tuner would have completed this Swiss army knife! Amazing pedal
Ebs microbass 3 ua-cam.com/video/g2GbdjHrK-g/v-deo.html
And also a compressor. More important than IR
@@Shoot_and_Scoot 3 times the price :-(
@@wolfram4321 just got to buy it once. I love mine.
Does Strymon make one of these?
Hi Gregor, nice video and it definitely made me wanting this little Preamp. At Thomann and talkbass I read there are several Problems getting the Box hooked up to the SW. Did you have any porblems with yours? Regards, Daniel
The software is slow and loves to crash (on my Mac) but it gets the job done.
Sounds killer. One question: are those pickups on the Jazz Bass Dimarzio Model Js?
Kloppmann 60s
Nice pedal! Best of luck to everybody for the giveaway :) Thanks BassTheWorld!
I could care less as to what it looks like. Ultimately is how does it sound, is it useful ?
Hey Gregor
Could you imagine the Nux melvin lee Davis and Darkglass ADAM on the same pedalboard???
Thank for making These Videos with great content and your Germany wit.
What exactly is the "THROUGH" out for? In what situations would you use that in?
To split off a clean signal for recording or go into other pedals, amps, etc
@@basstheworldofficial Right, that makes sense. This pedal does have quite a bit of features. Thanks!
Im sorry noob question, im currently put this pedal in the end my pedal board and using the DI output, and i was thinking to get some chorus pedal, so where i put it before or after by using the through output?
Im using in order, tuner+compressor+MLD preampthank you so much in advance!@@basstheworldofficial
Geez!! Here we go!! Either this pedal or the Markbass vintage pedal (when it finally comes out) WTF!!😣
Any thoughts on a good lightweight power amp to use with this preamp for live?
Why not just go straight to in ears?
@@basstheworldofficial I don't have that option available
The pedal is probably subtle because on every example demonstrated, you've had the parallel blend below 12 o'clock.
The blend is for the drive
Did this bass player spend some time in South Africa?
France (Paris in particular) affords an astounding melange and interaction of the musical traditions of Arabic and African origins in today's music. One of the few upsides to colonialism.
@@jaribu2758 There is no upside to colonialism, I'm pretty sure nations of the world could've discovered each other's culture, become a melting pot without the barbaric brutality of colonialism and I asked about South Africa specifically...the country, not an entire continent because I heard slight whiff of Maskandi in the bass player's approach when he started his demo.

@@Njabuloseh of course
1:51 is brazilian music !!!!
@@Njabuloseh There are up sides and down sides for everything in life. It is what YOU make of it; or are a beast in the herd?
This pedal is loaded! I want one.
Very nice!
Do you switch active bass into passive mode while using external preamp pedal

WOOOO! SICK!
Suena Machín... 👌🏻😎
I preferred the di switch in the down position. Is that with the cab sim on or off? I think it's an oversight that it's not labelled and the instructions on the website miss this also
it's off in this setting. But there are different IR's you can load. Mayne another one works better for you.
Everything needed in a preamp pedal and not to expensive!
0:50 Oh my god:)
0:44 Even a demo of how to shave a bass face. Turn it up!
i love my E B S Micro bass 3 so much!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed. Every bass sounds different.
?
Mantap
Good stuff
Also possible without can sim?
❤❤❤
sounds interesting!
Uno de los mejores pedales para bajo de NUX 🤘🏼
I want this.However instead of a demo by the likes of Rene who makes anything sound fantastic, I suggest getting a hack like me for your video because if it makes me sound good then it'll really convince buyers
Pity this guy's pronunciation is so german that UA-cam even makes the subtitles german automatically
Sounded like Fire Water
You are so funny man 👍🏽😎
I just wish there wasn’t so much tapping and slapping
