A great boost, EQ, and overdrive pedal
Origin Effects are, in my humble opinion, one of the best pedal makers on the planet. This is no exception. A great boost, EQ, and overdrive pedal that fits into any rig and makes an immediate positive contribution to sound and tone quality.
Artist usage
Add artist
In the last « Bassiste Magazine » (French magazine about Bass guitar), there is an interview about Jean-Michel L’Abadie and its gear. I thought it could be a useful information for those interested. So here is the translation :
« Now I am gonna use Darkglass vintage with a crunchy sound but not too much distorsion but still bring up low end that I’m gonna chain with a DCX Boost pedal from Origin Effect. It brings a compression and when the strings are getting tired during the show and the sound is getting muddier, this allows to open a bit more the high end to recover the original sound
