Really dont need nor want this. However, when someone with a german accent tells you to buy something you just do it. I now have 6 on order, I hope its enough.

I think it's really good precisely because it sounds so neutral and with that price is a no-brainer for a beginner practice-DI with headphones.

@maxjbg 4 жыл бұрын

Mmh I got this pedal and have to say that using it as a Pre Amp or Compressor is not too easy. The Volume changes while engaging are too drastic. After finding a good sound it sounds quite descent. I bought it to control my Di signal and using the thru channel for my amp. If this does not work too good then I use it as a headphone pre amp.

@musicmesse1 4 жыл бұрын

I have one since the first batch. It does the job for foh and as a practice amp it is great. It has a clean sound, so no ampeg or fuzz sounds. Takes pedals as wel.

reffoelcnu alouncelal you could also get a noise suppressor for cheap.

@molomono9481 3 жыл бұрын

@@johnconlon8635 Sadly filtering signal is always worse than maintaining signal integrity. Long story short, a bit of hiss is a bit of bad. Suppressors should only be used for ambient issues like EMF or when you go really high gain. Also, he said the hiss happens when the treble is way up actually implies that the treble control is an active high pass filter. Using an EQ or multiband compressor will probably allow you to get rid of it without using a noise suppressor.

Is this the same pedal as the ModTone Bass XL? It looks identical. Is Harley Benton sold as ModTone in USA?

@marike1100 4 жыл бұрын

Maybe the hiss is normal for a single coil bass? On most guitars/basses with single coils, raising the treble with the tone knob introduces more noise and hiss. Could this be a similar situation with the HB Pre?

@basstheworldofficial 4 жыл бұрын

The hissing I was describing came from the preamp and has nothing to do with the bass

@@basstheworldofficial Understood. Still considering similar DI/Preamps like the EHX Battalion or Tech21 SansAmp are double the price or more, it seems quite decent. Thanks, good job.

how did you get such a clean signal through the DI output while recording? when i use an adapter and switch on the compressor I get a continuous hissing sound, for both Live and recording. Please help.

Maybe you got a faulty unit. Make sure your gain is setup properly, otherwise maybe try to get a replacement from Thomann

Most sound guys prefer to work with DI's, so a lot of bass players stop carrying amps to reduce the amount of stuff they have to carry, so they just use in ears

Nice unit but... 1. No bypass - On/Off switch is only engages EQ, Volume is always on. Quite difficult to use on stage. 2. This green/red LEDs are misleading when the unit is on large pedalbord neighboring other units. Very uncommon. Still cannot remember it. 3. You can get the same unit much cheaper. It seems ELECA is producing it for Thomann. Street price is around 50 CHF. ... however, this Preamp works well and not useless at all.
