SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: The sound is very easy to dial up, what I like is the sound is fuller but it doesn't drive the pre-amp, in fact it appears to have very little effect on the gain at all, a small miracle. I think what you get is a clean, full bass sound. When I DI it to the PA people come up to me afterwards and tell me how good the bass sounds, that has never happened to me before. Feature: I love the similicity of the controls, I set my amp (GK 400RB) and change the sound using the Aphex. The range of control available on the DI is excellent. The ability to take any power adapter is great, but actually the unit uses so little power I really haven't needed it. Value: It is expensive, but it does do the job. Manufacturer Support: So far no need for support The Wow Factor: Simple gear that does what it says it does. Not over engineered, not goofy. Overall: This little box has made a huge impact on me being able to dial up my sound. I am very pleased I got it

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I was looking for something that would improve my live sound, but wasn't sure what I needed. This pedal impressed me in the store when I plugged it into a Crate and got it to sound like a fine Ampeg. On my own rig, I've been impressed by the emphasis and clarity it provides, and helps me really expand my sound. I'm in a duo, and this really helps my bass fill in space. Defintely makes a good setup sound better. Feature: Power circuit lets you use almost any AC adapter you can throw at it -- Boss, Ibanez, etc. so you can use whatever is hanging around in your closet or gear bag. That's a good design. Simple to use knobs, clear markings, and all. At first, the manual seemed slim and I wanted more details, but after playing with the pedal, I realized the sound is what it's about, and that's easy to get to. Quality: Seems sturdy enough. Using it for once a week gigs, where keep it velcro'd to the top of my amp. So far, so good. Never crapped out, always works as expected. Value: Was looking at expensive multi-fx pedals and chose this because, while it did less, it sounded better. So I guess I saved $150 that way... Manufacturer Support: Never needed them The Wow Factor: Kind of hard to get excited about it without trying it. Graphics are a little wild, like those Toyota interiors that are supposed to appeal to young drivers. But hey, once you plug it in, it's very easy to live with. Overall: Like I said, I didn't know what I wanted to improve my sound, but I am amazed at what this pedal does for me. I can't imagine anything having as much impact, for even double or triple the money, so this one has earned a place in my gig bag.

Sound: This is an amazing piece of equipment. This will fatten your sound without making it muddy. If you can run this through your effects loop you will get the best results versus running this between your bass in amp. A must have for any bass rig. Feature: Has it all in a basic package. The best and smallest piece of gear!! The only thing it could maybe have would be a Gain section to dial in overdrive with a real 12Ax7 tube, but not necessary Quality: Nice sturdy case and solid construction Value: About the same as a pre-amp but much less than buying a pre-amp and a BBE maximizer and better sounding Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use it, but nice useful website The Wow Factor: Very subtle effect at first, but after using it for 10 minutes, turn the effect off and you will be surprised at how bad your sound was before you bought this pedal. Overall: The features are very easy to understand and is basically my preamp now. I've owned tons of gear and more knobs definately doesn't mean better. This is very simple and is an all-in-one box to enhance your sound, pre-amp/EQ, and direct box.

Sound: This thing does what it says it does! It clears up your sound and gives your bass rig a good solid tone. I only use this pedal with one of my basses.(the cheaper one) I haven't tried it direct into the board, but I'm sure it would do the trick in a pinch. The only complaint that I have is that when you have the active switch engaged, it looses half it volume. So to compensate for this...I just crank my compressor a little more. Over all...not a bad investment!

Sound: Didn't do anything noticeable except impart a 60 cycle hum into my rig. Besides that I'd say this pedal barely did anything to my sound- it certainly wasn't Exciting(pun intended)! Feature: XLR , ground lift were nice features etc but the pedal didnt do what they said it'd do. Ease of Use: How easy is it to get great sounds from this pedal? Very hard unless u count a 5db gain which any preamp would do better. Quality: ...since it makes my entire rig hum like a bee hive, well um yea the quality sucks. Value: NO. NOT WORTH IT! Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: How would I rate the sex appeal? What a dumb question lol!? Well if thats what u want, then this pedal is a flaming homosexual! Overall: I already sold it to another sucker!
