Title: Madbean Sludgehammer
Post by: Thewintersoldier on May 02, 2022, 01:48:57 PM
I'm not a real bass player, I'm a guitar player faking it lol. Ive been waiting for this project to drop for a simple great sounding bass preamp that can cover a lot of ground for going into the interface and not using plugins.
       I straight forward build that is like a ducks butt, water tight. The top leaves little room for error in drilling. The sound is fantastic and can cover so much ground but I think I already found my preferred setting as in the video. Can do punchy or saturated, has a great EQ and the balanced out sounds great.
       Went with the trs balanced out as my two notes cabm+ only has trs in, and I plan on using that for bass cab IRs and power amp simulation. Went with a UV print on tayda matte dark grey enclosure. Obvious graphics choice for me. Brian really outdid himself on this one. Video has my preferred setting with my typical 90s style of simple basic bitch playing. Build this, it does not disappoint.

This is the first time in a long time that I heard a pedal and thought I gotta have it!

Thanks guys, it's a cool pedal and I see it being used a lot. I may even give up my crappy 15w ss bass amp since this will be all I use now. Thanks again for this project Brian.

That's awesome! Flawless inside and out!

I'm not a bass player or a guitar play, but I can fake it on both if I have to.  ;)
