All user reviews of 4/5 for the Markbass Super Booster

Effects very transparent boost, VLE and VPF filters Two.
The pedal is typical yellow "markbass."
(Oulààà I repainted black with red writing, so I found this ugly color without equal)

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. one branch, turn the knobs ...
can be actuated independently of footswitch: that boost and that corresponding to the two filters, or both simultaneously.
It's not stupid because the filters, especially the VLE, ​​lose a lot of bottom dynamic sound.
Simultaneously engaging in the boost, bass filtered the VLE and VPF spring mix and
simply put, it re-grows in volume what you lose in dynamic ...

SOUND QUALITY

The boost and perfectly transparent. Bass out of the mix, no distortion (it depends on the amp also final).
Perfect for force grateux to listen to you!
Or simply for a solo passage from scratch in a "power-trio" is perfect!

VLE or vintage loudspeaker emulator is a filter that increases the low frequency, hollow mids ... The more you turn the knob, the more turns his HP 10 "15" vintage.
The sound becomes muffled and sub 'sub-bass.

The VPF or Variable Pre-shape Filter, is the acute, especially for a slap.

(Level filters, there are better and more complete with the bass attack.)

I played with a Cort B5 OD or SD-GR 5 ibanez codes.
I bought this pedal to the level of his disgusting little giant in breathless found in my studio Repette.
No more low frequency escaping from these 4 * 10.
Dynamics and fuzzy, well, crap ...
As they will not change for now and as always it happens to fall on the amp rotten over the peregrinations of a group, bearing filters allow a little about it.
Is sacrificed in favor of its dynamic sound more or less infra bass with a Disto, or equipped with a fuzz blend, we can sculpt a sound big and fat, rich in harmonics, perhaps better defined but unfortunately stagnate too low to frequency.

In the end, this pedal will serve me as my Sunn concert bass amp super powerful, but with a large package in the midrange, and "breath" because very Brite ...
With bosster markbass is all show!
Reduce mediums, low back huge bearing on very light breath of "on-brite" ...

OVERALL OPINION

Regarding other model, the bass attack of both artke can sculpt the sound of the bass that these two filters integrated booster markbass, but the spirit is different.
The bass attack preamp + complete one, while the booster markbass and boost pedal with more direct output.

The price is really excessive.

To finish:
The boost is very useful and perfect for all bassists.
Filters, found on each amp markbass also are unique.
Useful primarily for bassists looking infra bass sound, and do not like graphic equalizer amps, or who do not like their tamper three days amp knobs to achieve their end.
See like me straighten the sound of an amp "rotten" or a vintage amp to its very specific.

DI Plus, it still serves.

This little pedal does increase your tone and sound quite a bit. It is great for week sounding pickups or not so powerful bass amps. It about as simple as pie to figure out. There are two footswitches and three knobs to control your over all volume and sound.

This pedal is really just a boost pedal and it doesn't distort your tone very much or at all depending on how you run it. If you run it into a bass amp that has some overdrive in the preamp then this pedal will give you a slight kick in overdrive but hardly anything. This pedal works for long cables, weak guitars, and weak sounding amps. There is also a market for this pedal with people who what more drive to their tone.

SOUND QUALITY

The first footswitch control the pedal on and off. This is really for me the only purpose for this pedal. The other footswitch controls some EQing and filters which don't change the sound too much unless it is all the way up or all the way down.

The sound quality is pretty nice for that extra kick. It doesn't really change your tone but just gives you more of what you really need. The second switch which mixes it up a bit does have some variants. The first control knobs color your tone from sort of a vintage to modern loud speaker. The second control knob just control your EQing filters

OVERALL OPINION

At new these pedals come in at around $130 which isn't bad for what this little thing can do. This is a great buy for those needing a solid boost pedal that it make quite well. I would recommend this pedal to anyone getting signal loss from running long cables or someone who needs a touch of drive to your tone. You may never switch if off once you get it
