Best value:
Excellent
This is a preamp simulating a head Sunn Concert Lead circuit in pedal format.
This is analog and is manufactured in Russia.
No editing or MIDI or whatever. It works with old, turning buttons, to tweak with his fingers.
For the connection:
1 Input Jack
1 Output Jack
1 power PSU
And it is built like a tank!
Iwould have like a DI OUT, but whatever.<span class="skimwords-unlinked">.Maybe i'll </span>be in the future. (I submitted the idea to the designer, and is almost favorable to this idea).
UTILIZATION
There is no easier to understand than that.
For connection, it's simple.
Bass Return of an amp or console or interface.
A 3-band EQ, Bass, Mid, Treble.
1 knob for gain
1 knob for the rate of Distortion
1 knob for volume output.
Attention, this is a 18v supply to 24v AC.
Ordered on the site or Correct Sound or to design yourself (for those who can). Because it is quite hard to find elsewhere.
The activation LED is blinding. Take your sunglasses and self-tanner. I'm serious!
SOUND QUALITY
The SOUND. Folks!
I use it with my basses.
Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor 5
SX URSA 2 Mn Ash 5 String (Copy Jazz Bass)
I did not know how Oleg did, but he managed to capture the essence of the Sunn Concert Lead into a pedal. This is more than realism there, that is witchcraft!
Already, the noise is very low for a gain that can go very far.
The frequency range is not limited. It can go very low in the bass.
The grain of the bass is very respected.
The dynamic is great. We did not feel the compression we have with the Tech21 VT Bass.
It's a Sunn sound, so it is very rich. Perfectly suited for Rock and derivatives.
I play in a metal band, and it fits perfectly.
The distortion does not cut the lows. This is what I find crap with the Tech21 VT Bass.
I tested it the Stoner/Doom manner , and that give you a great big mammoth sound from beyond the grave. Awesome!
If you like these styles, this is the pedal for you!
Used during a studio session with a sound engineer. He validated that the pedal had to stay in the recording chain!
Icing on the cake, as it is based on the Sunn Lead Concert, it works excellently with a guitar too! Well the old school! Always in style rock / stoner / doom. grimey stuff remaining the ambience of a damp cellar in which we can smell cold tobacco odors.
OVERALL OPINION
This is one month that I use.
I also have a Tech21 VT Bass Deluxe that I use now for the very few passages slap.
I also tried other preamps that I no longer have. None comes close to the eclipse.
What I like the most:
- The Sound
- The easy adjustments
- The strength
- And the sound too! (Ever said? I know!)
What I like least:
- Uncommon PSU
- The blinding activation LED.
The quality/price ratio is excellent!
The choice, I would do it again!
