Best review I've seen. Gives a good understanding of what it can do across genres and playing styles while keeping talking to the minimum. Great job.
This is the best review I've found for the LMB-3. Thanks!
I own this pedal and it works great helping to clean up the sound and boost it as wellm
I think ye need to start reviewing some metronomes......
Lol, yep. It was a pretty terrible review.
I don't know any of these players and this was still a lovely change of pace compared to most reviews
I like how the pedal gradually gets the dust off as they turn the knobs.
Very useful. Seems to bring the notes volume to the same level, the sound remains clean and sharp, consequently the overall sound more stable without peaks with conserved instrument natural harmonics caracteristics.
Underrated pedal ever
this is the slappers compressor pedal, just keep that enhance maybe under 9-10 and you won't get any hiss/noise. awesome pedal for the price point, built like a tank.
I own this pedal and love it.
michael bass do you get any hiss if you turn the enhance knob up? I get quite a lot
@@InTheGrooove It's not the pedal hiss, it's the overall your signal chain hiss. Pedal doesn't make hiss by itself, just enhances the highs.
I've just bought one, waiting for it... Such a tasty groove in the first bass line
Great Videos you guys. Good on you for using several different basses with different price points
The melody at 2:10 was insane, I keep looping it
I use this on an electric ukelele lol when I want to do a solo vs rhythm i hit this pedal.
I bought a different one than this and fell in love with it so much that I purchased this one also.
Ah, the venerable, underrated LMB_3. Not the best thing out there, but still a very useful pedal, if you know what you're doing.
I had one and a switch for cs3 some years later i got the cs2 the best of 3 for me
@@cacadordorio CS 3 no baixo não fica bom !!! Para mim ok!ele meio que puxa uns transientes ,algo meio que corta os graves e trás agudos a mostra !o lmb3 eu tenho e gosto mas futuramente vou trocar pelo bc1x, notei que são parecidos
It's a pretty cool sounding pedal. I was thinking of getting one myself if I ever needed a limiter pedal. I am intrigued by how much it enhances the bass. especially when using distortion.
I’ve heard to use the Enhance knob as little as possible to keep noise down. Although it’s labeled as a limiter, it can be used to act like a compressor.
Yes it can. A Limiter is just a compressor with the ratio ser high. If you keep the ratio at about 9 o’clock and the threshold at 12 o’clock you will get a great compression effect
Not sure if I should get this over the Boss BC-1X Bass Compressor 🤔
Basically the review starts at 6:15
thanks
*BASSically 😂
Omg whats the riff from 2:13 to 3:00? Those sound amazing! I came for the pedal but was more impressed by your playing!
Hello, big fan of the channel..the button cover you guys have on the TC elec. Wiretap- do you sell them?
So this or the Boss bass compressor?
sick riff by Jayme
There aren’t enough videos of the Earthquaker Devices Terminal fuzz on bass. Just saying! Much love!
Use this pedal combined with thé ampeg opto compressor. Fabulous if you know how to use lt. Been using this pedal since 2009 so that means something. Been on Every gig I did + countless rehearsels.
Funny, I also use an Ampeg opto compressor and just ordered the bass enhancer/limiter. What settings have you found work for you?
*I use a Fender Mustang bass with flatwounds
I probably missed the memo but what’s up with less Will? He seems to be hiding. I miss him
this pedal is a little bit noisy if you increase enhance function but otherwise it is an excellent compression pedal
Hmmm, perhaps mention the McKinley mod, 2 birds one stone. (Still has that barely perceptible top end fizz and very perceptible hiss that drives engineers over hedges, out windows and over cliffs...)
Is it okay that I came for the pedal but stayed for the playing?
Not just ok, it’s preferred! 🤘🏻
Pedal sounds great, some pretty sloppy examples of time/groove though...
Cool demo...I've never own a compressor or a limiter pedal before, but I am intrigue on how much this pedal enhances the bass tone. so I am considering getting one of these for my pedalboard. also it sounds killer with the distortion channel on the microtubes 900.
If you just care about the enhancer function of this pedal you should maybe check out the bbe sonic stomp !
@@pideuhweuh8459 Okay...I will check it out. still I am intrigued by this pedal for it's enhancer function and it's compression(threshold).
@@alexskibicki2262 Then maybe be this one would be a better choice for you. I think I just got to let your ears choose for you, they're probably more legit than me to figure out what you prefer
@@pideuhweuh8459 Everyone has personal tastes when it comes to certain pedals. the bbe sonic stomp is a good choice. I would consider getting one if it's really an enhancer I want. so thanks for the recommendation.
@@alexskibicki2262 It's the kind of pedal that always stays on in my chain, it's simple, I tried to switch it off once, it was way harder to hear myself in a band context. Plus it compresses a bit the tone (but not as well as a compressor would).
Anyone else having trouble hearing much, if any difference when this pedal is in use?
doesnt come through youtube well because internet compresses anyway.
Keep the hiss knob below 9 o’clock and it’s a usable pedal.
Which one is the hiss knob?
@@U2BROTHR enhance. It brings up high frequencies, hence makes the hiss very noticeable.
@@Mist3rP Much appreciated. I have this pedal. I need to give it another whirl.
U2BROTHR I have been using this pedal for several weeks now since my initial purchase. I have to say my first opinion was not too impressed. Now I’m like...wow. I love it. Get used to it. Try different settings. It’s always on. Love it!!! Makes my jazz and P sing.
Thank you for all of your insight. Last question. Where in the pedal train would I put this bad boy? I also use the boss bass overdrive pedal and boss bass chorus pedal. In what order should I be putting all three pedals on my board? Cheers and thank you.
so this would be a compressor and pre-amp all-in-one? What's the difference with buying a separate preamp and a compressor then?
I'm too much of a beginner to know, but I think I managed to find a STEAL when I got this pedal. It had done wonders for my tone. Only problem is I think the wiring in mine is loose because it's very noisy.
What position do you have it in your signal chain? Put it first.
The pedal probably isn't noisy, it's just compressing the line noise that is already in your line, this will especially be the case after an overdrive pedal
4:1 is the most ratio you need for a bass guitar
I dunno, some 8:1 or higher in parallel can get really beefy.
Nice demo, what are there strings with red end that used in the PRS Kestrel bass ?
Great video. Was surprised at the SG tho. Wow do I hate that Gibson sg bass woof… why is so muddy??
This pedal needs a faster attack. It compress but also sounds very loose.
Sounds good! Still, how would this stompbox different from a compressor?
A compressor would even out everything by limiting some peaks and raising the notes that are too quiet. This will just squeeze the peaks but won't raise anything plus it has the ''enhance'' control which seems too be like a bbe sonic maximzer process knob.
It's a compressor, because you can chose amount of ratio, in limiter the ratio is infinite. I don't know why they called this pedal limiter.
@@pideuhweuh8459 This pedal actually does a great job based on the name. This pedal limiting the signal when it comes to touch the threshold, you right about squeezing the peak signal, but this pedal also can raise the signal by turn the level knob clockwise so it will raise the low level signal, set the threshold to your desire db level and then you can get the compressed signal as you desire, in other words it acts like a brickwall or hard limiting because the ratio is infinite. i use this pedal from 2015 untill now and have no regrets about it.. cheers.. 🍺
Simply put regardless of what others here may say, it's not lol. If you have a quality compressor you like don't give this another thought, it's a money grab on the part of Boss.
@@charlesbr7684 No way, this pedal is an awesome piece for a dawless setup. You don't even have to necessarily use it on bass, it's a full compressor on its own, even though it's a bit bare bones.
Do I need this if I’m already using a compressor which I always leave on?
yes of course! You will have a natural and powerful sound, you can leave the ratio at zero, increase the enhancer and play with the threshold.
I'm looking for some kind of boost at the end of my signal chain.....I have boss bc1x bass comp at the beginning of my chain..
Would I even need this at all???
А если не слышно разницы, зачем платить дороже?
Comparative bc1x vs lmb3 please which is better?
The CS-3
the bc1x will do overall compression and fattening up better as it's a digital multiband compressor. the lmb3 has a higher ratio so it can be used better as a hard limiter.
@@christianmarroquin8370 i no like CS3 on Bass for me is no good man but whom have like!
GAYLIEN the Gay Alien I’m with you, dude
Limiter is the best for me than a compressor..
Old video but maybe someone will kmow the answer. How did these guys get the 'enhance' knob turned up that high without a load of hiss?
I just got one of these. I like it, and I like what the enhance know does for the tone but it makes a loud hiss past 9:00, yet I like the clank it adds to the tone a lot. How did these guys get that to go away? Is a noise gate the answer?
Late answer but there’s a noise gate somewhere there, you can hear the hiss dying every time he stops playing around.
is this same with compressor type?
Hows that dude alternate picking with his thumb and hes not even moving it 2:14 LoL Got me wanting to learn bass That's crazy
I think its his index finger doing the fast picking on the higher notes not his thumb
Come on guys, not one single demo using a pick? Really?
whats that one riff at 3:15 that the kings revenge dude always plays, its killer! Is it from one of their songs?
Yep! That riff comes in around 1:20. ua-cam.com/video/8o9mBpT5Rkw/v-deo.html
Bassic Gear Review thanks!
I've had one of these for well over ten years and I've never once got it to sound usable. I have no idea what sort of black magic you're performing with this device.
What are your current settings now? I find that a little goes a long way with this pedal (especially with the enhance knob). Also, the threshold knobs works "in reverse" - you get more compression when the knob goes COUNTER clockwise. This often throws people for a loop (although it makes sense, if you think about it).
@@Andyanddiana467 oh I haven't used it in years, I don't even know where it is.
@@Andyanddiana467 threshold isnt reversed. Threshold is the volume at which the compression kicks in, so naturally lower threshold means the compression kicks in earlier.
Reece Deyoung
Technically yes, you're correct. It's just that many people I've met who expressed dissatisfaction with the pedal often do because they expect clockwise = "more." Hence my comment as to why the knob's action makes sense.
If you don't understand compression, it's the easiest way to trash your sound. Bad compression kills the dynamics of the signal and it will never sound or feel right until it's tweaked to whatever song you're playing.
What exactly does the "Enhance" do, though?
It scoops the mids while adding treble and some bass.
@@Andyanddiana467 Aswell as a bunch of noise if used wrongly.
@James NotBond This pedal is similar to a compressor except it doesn't compress the notes it limits volume spikes. The enhance control pretty much is like a presence control except not a very good one, if used incorrectly all it will do is add a hiss to your sound. I don't see how this pedal would be able to blow your speakers though as its designed to limit spikes so you shouldn't have that issue.
What do you mean “if enhance knob used incorrectly “ ? I seem to get hiss beginning from about 9 o’clock. Is there any way to avoid the hiss?
I think i am here too early :v
Tebelnya kok jadi ilang?
🤘🤘🤘🤘👯
as you can see, this pedal does nothing for sloppy playing
Maybe it'll do something for snobby playing
Lol it was never meant to be a showcase of their skills so the video does it's job, I honestly get tired Wooten wannabes all over making everything sound the same.
Does anyone know any MOD for this pedal? .....
not everything needs a mod
It would be nice to show one guy with a pick……. I’m not sure why people who review bass pretend like half of bass players aren’t using a pick
Funny enough, Chris is almost 100% a pick player and commenters seem to dislike that! Check out our other reviews for a variety of players and play styles, especially the newer ones. This one is definitely an earlier video.
bass
Stop fiddling with the knobs! Set it and do an A/B.
Showoff
Horrendously boring video basically showcasing a bunch of fair to middling over-indulgent bass players widdling, the pedal does nothing special.
