    I'll admit that I'm old-school but the common Darkglass sound has always sounded thin and scratchy to me. This pedal seems to do a good job of putting the balls back into the DG sound. Sounds great with you playing it brother, cheers!

      Heard. I like the darkglass sound for others but would not like to sound like everybody else’s 2024 sound.

      I got one years ago because I heard some amazing sounds come out of it but never quite figured out how to make it sound right. Kinda feels dull and oversaturated with not nearly enough mid response.

    Back in the 80s, I found a Unicord Super FUZZ in a pawn shop and that was my sound until I went digital with a Source Audio Sound Bloc2 OFD Pedal .
    The "Metal" setting on that IS the Super FUZZ sound, but with awesome tone and EQ control, so I'm still rocking with that...👍😎

    DUDE!!! It is so effin cool to have a channel that primarily bassists can go to and see this equipment demonstrated by a real metal bassist!!! It's not often you can use the word articulate when talking bass distortion, but you've demonstrated its articulation and versatility. Definitely one of my new Christmas presents this year Rodney. Thanks for what you do for the bass community \m/ \m/

    "The market is stale, everything is a copy of something else, except this thing, this is brand new! So anyway, it's based on a RAT..."
    Great sounding pedal! I blend a RAT in parallel with my DG X7, getting that mix of modern high gain, classic raunch, and fat compressed low end

    Thank you for another thorough review, Rodney.
    As far as distortions go, I've been sorted for years now with the Damnation Audio MBD, but it's always motivating to check your videos out.

    • @RodneyMcG
      @RodneyMcG  Місяць тому +1

      Glad you found your home. It's great to have options, isn't it?!

    • @Andeimir
      @Andeimir Місяць тому

      @@RodneyMcG Sure is. Doesn't entirely stop me from messing around with other options from time to time (currently the Kasleder Jellyfish), but the MBD has more or less been an always-on for the past 7 years, which is near enough to my total playing time. Wishing you well, and not just for our sake as an audience.

    It's good to see you, man. Thanks for posting stuff I like.

    Rodney-Great demo of this pedal I really really dig the "modern tone"- ground switch. I believe Nuno said, the scoop EQ (ground switch)is taken from his GK800 preamp they make. Lusitahand makes an onboard GK800 preamp inspired by the Gk800, and its sounds killer.

    • @RodneyMcG
      @RodneyMcG  Місяць тому +2

      You are correct. I'll be doing that preamp soon

    Good to see another video from you. Hopefully, you're doing well. Thanks for doing this review. I've been on the fence about getting the Mk2.
    I'm guessing you'll be reviewing one of the filter [Wal style] preamps that he has? It'd be interesting to see someone do a review of one that isn't just trying to sound like Justin Chancellor. Don't get me wrong, he's great, but there's more out there.

    • @RodneyMcG
      @RodneyMcG  Місяць тому +2

      Thanks for the kind words. The MKll had a lot more going on than I expected for sure.. I'm actually going to be doing his 800 preamp next. I'm a big fan of the 800rb and am looking forward to it. The Wal filter does look interesting. We may get to that as well.

    • @cordellwalker7049
      @cordellwalker7049 Місяць тому +1

      @RodneyMcG the 800rb preamp looks interesting also. It's cool that there are people recreating a lot of these old things that, in a lot of cases, became hard to come by.

    • @RodneyMcG
      @RodneyMcG  Місяць тому +1

      For sure. Sometimes what's old is new and when something isn't in fashion for a long time, it can sound fresh again especially with a new twist.

    Wow dude. You have serious chops. Sounds great , I recently went with SansAmp XB driver. So far, so good...will see if this does it for me. I'm going for BluesRock, Soul/R&B , classic Rock tones, but need to cut through as well as hear myself in Theatre size gigs . I'm super picky on having the right blend of clean and dirty .
    Best Wishes !

    • @RodneyMcG
      @RodneyMcG  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you! I have the xb as well. You may have noticed in the sample at the end of the video, I used them both. They work great together. Thanks again for the kind words.

    The problem is I would prefer the ground and pound switch be a foot switch not something i would need to bend over or band down to change.

    • @RodneyMcG
      @RodneyMcG  Місяць тому

      I get that. I feel like each one reshapes the sound in that I would make multiple adjustmens, so just flipping back and forth wouldn't really be a thing
