Invisible bass player!

Posted by Mikey from Dallas, TX on Mar 15, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Professional musician, recordist, songwriter

Reviewer's Play Style: Acoustic Irish, folk, blues, Americana

Purchased online based on specs and reviews alone. Have not been disappointed! Extremely low noise from the 120A; less than -80db! Using it for enhanced bottom-end for acoustic live performances and recording. Playing a Martin HD-28 with a Scherlter Bluestick undersaddle pickup, and a Fylde Irish bouzouki with a peizo pickup through LR Baggs preamp. Sounds like I have an invisible bass player behind me!

MASSIVE KICK DRUM!

Posted by kickdrumman from NY on Feb 14, 2005

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: recording engineer

Reviewer's Play Style: all, but with a Rock flare!

Can you keep a secret? Most of one’s feelie bass is from a MASSIVE KICK DRUM that’s been thickened and sub-harmonically generated by a dbx-120 sub-harmonic Synthesizer!

NOT more bass, but MORE BASS-KICK DRUM!

(adding more bass just muddies up the mix! However, MORE KICK-DRUM doesn't as a kick drum is FAST and short-duration)

The dbx-120 will get you that MASSIVE LOW-END in your kick, (how much you put in your mix is your decision).

We've been using one of these on bass drums for 25 years, and everyone ASKS, HOW did you get that sound? Well (we never tell them).
