You wanna watch that bass habit Lee. Sure you start out, you think you can handle it. It’s just a bit of fun, a diversion from guitar but then you start to use proper finger technique (yeah, I saw that), then you’ve bought a lifetime subscription to Scott’s Bass Lessons and a Fender Rumble which soon becomes a full fat 900w amp and 212. Before long you’re saying things like “sure, I play guitar but I’m mostly a bass player”. It’s a dangerous road to travel Lee, a dangerous road indeed.

I just got mine yesterday, the Guitar version, not BASS (after a long preorder wait due to component shortage from the current pandemic), and I have to agree, this is the BEST Analog preamp I have ever had the opportunity to play. It takes pedals extremely well. It SERIOUSLY loves the Tone City Durple BTW, sounds KILLER agains the "MS BRIT" setting. Great video!

@SandalwoodBros 3 жыл бұрын

I love the tone and that it's analog. I find I my ears get tired of digital amp sims pretty quickly--not because they sound fake (they don't) but because they sound a bit too pristine and harsh after a while. I feel like I could play the Simplifier for hours.

@josephfarina9743 4 жыл бұрын
