Pocket Amp Bass : Sounds great but fiddly

8 years ago

The sound from this preamp is fantastic. The semi parametric EQ allows me to dial in the tone I'm seeking. It makes even a cheap bass sound boutique!

The only thing I don't like is its hard to setup. The instructions are minimum and it took a long time to find "my sound". But I found I had to tweak it even further when switching to the distorted sound, so I couldn't simply switch sounds on the fly. I would require a seperate distortion/fuzz for that.

If you want a set and forget preamp with DI out, and have patience to play around with the settings to find your own sound, then this is the pedal for you.
