:mrgreen: This bass pedal rocks! Three effects in one: Overdrive; Pre-amp, and compressor + it has a DI out too. Designed for Fender by Aguilar. $250 Check out the video.

A couple of interesting things to notice is that Pete Griffin is playing an Ensenada made Player Precision through a Rumble 100. They just sound so good for such value priced gear. Bass is $675 and amp is $300, so for a little less than a grand you can have a dynamite rig.

That sounds really good, but I'm actually more curious about their chorus pedal. I'd prefer that over compression, which I don't use at all. I really like the sound of that Precision Bass, especially. The funny thing is if I were able to get a Fender, that would be the exact model, with that finish, and maple board.

I hate to say it, as much as this is a cool pedal, it got me GASsing for that P Bass in the first video. Damn, I shouldn't have gotten rid of mine. :roll:

Nice review for it. 8) I was watching the demo video again, and I like the overdrive on this. It does sound similar to the one on my Rumble 350 combo, which I've always liked, but haven't used extensively. Although, I've been thinking about changing my sound out a bit and thought about experimenting more with some overdrive, or distortion.

Hey, Linn!

Are you still gassing for the Fender Downtown Express? Do you just want it as a DI, or what? Surely you don't need it with your Rumble 200 combo and Rumble Studio 40, do you?

It does look pretty sweet, alright. But, with my Rumbles and Bassman amps, I just don't see what I'd use it for. Can you school me on this?
