UTILIZATION

very simple, drive, gain, tone, it's easy

SOUND QUALITY

I use the drive with at least a bass (warwick corvette MEC preamp) I get a boost that adds presence and grain, without messing up the whole, we discern the best bass without hiding the other instruments ; it's super quality
no breath, true bypass

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 weeks, I have to look at the Xotic BB preamp bass, but already my mind is made: it's a great pedal. It's not always easy with a low active, find something that slightly boosts the sound and presence without any explosion.
I tried the home bassdriver SansAmp Tech 21, the distal EBS, the SansAmp confuses presence and treble, this preamp does wonders to improve a sound from a small bass amp and a low range, but becomes useless on the big stuff right, but BSE is cold, and then the 3-position prevent him from making a final choice, and ultimately, we do not know where to turn.
I also (and unsuccessfully) tried to resolve the GT6 bass preamps, home boss. They are unusable with a low active.
Frankly, for the price, we do not regret having one on hand.
