The Darkglass Microtubes X is all I ever wanted for my bass sound, and, together with the Sansamp DI V2, it just sounds like echoes of the best riffs straight out of hell. In other words, sounds just like the devil himself riding his fimotorbike.
On the other hand, Polara’s reverb is a good addition as it gives the whole sound and extra body and also useful for some calm options between the storms. 
The Vox Wah is good, but I wanted it to be more effective with lower frequencies to be honest.
Lately, I added the pedal I should have owned first. Is a compressor and this one in particular sounds pretty good, the Swollen Thumb.

The photos are in order from how the Mean Bass Machine looks currently to how it was when I first started creating it.

Die Darkglass Mircrotubes-Serie hat Familienzuwachs bekommen: Mit dem Microtubes X und seinem größerem Bruder Microtubes X7 ergänzt die finnische Effektschmiede ihr Programm um zwei neue Preamp/Overdrive-Pedale, die erstmals mit Multiband-Technologie arbeiten und den Tieftönern damit noch mehr Flexibilität für verzerrte Sounds bieten. In der Ausstattung unterscheiden sich die beiden Modelle deutlich – wer sich für das kleinere und günstigere Microtubes X entscheidet, muss nämlich auf den D.I.-Ausgang, den 5-Band-Equalizer sowie den Onboard-Kompressor des X7 verzichten. Ob das Microtubes X soundmäßig mit seinem größeren Bruder mithalten kann und für wen die abgespeckte Version vielleicht sogar die bessere Wahl ist, wollen wir in diesem Test herausfinden.

The Microtubes X multiband distortion engine brings into controls producers have been using for years in the studio, allowing you to separate and sculpt the portions of the spectrum that are distorted and remain untouched for ultimate flexibility.

Featuring seven inspirational Lexicon® reverbs, the DigiTech® Polara will be the new architect of your soundscape, defining space and adding dimension to your playing. The Polara’s flexible reverbs cover a full spectrum, from the intimate warmth of “Room”, to the vast expansiveness of “Hall”, through time with the cosmic power of “Reverse”, and anchored by Lexicon’s revered “Modulated”, “Plate” and “Spring” reverbs. In addition to those classics, the Polara introduces the new “Halo” reverb. The “Halo” reverb with cascading octaves interspersed in the reverb decays will cast a heavenly glow over your tone. With its new, compact size and soft-touch vacuum-style footswitch, the Polara truly represents the latest evolution in DigiTech pedal design. We’ve put years of experience into every detail of its mechanical and sonic blueprint. The Polara offers independent Level, Liveliness, Decay and Type controls; Stereo Inputs and Outputs; a Soft Click Footswitch; and a Reverb Tails On/Off Toggle Switch. It is true bypass, and uses a 9V DC power supply to easily integrate into your existing pedalboard.

Der SansAmp Bass Driver DI ist viel mehr als nur eine Direktbox. Er kann große Vintage-Röhrensounds, helle moderne Slap-Sounds, knorrige Verzerrungen und alles dazwischen erzeugen. Drei verschiedene Ausgänge zum Ansteuern von Endstufen, Aufnahmepulten, PA-Mischpulten oder einfach zum Verbessern Ihres aktuellen Rigs. Zu den Reglern gehören Presence für die Definition und den oberen Obertongehalt, Blend, um das Verhältnis von Direktsignal und SansAmp-Schaltung zu kombinieren, und ein aktiver EQ, der mit 12 dB Absenkung oder Anhebung speziell auf den Bass abgestimmt ist.

Da die Popularität von 5- und 6-saitigen Bässen den Status einer Modeerscheinung überschritten hat und zum Mainstream geworden ist, haben wir einen Schalter hinzugefügt, mit dem die Bassfrequenz so eingestellt werden kann, dass sie auch in die tieferen Lagen reicht. Außerdem haben wir einen Regler für die Mitten und einen Schalter zur Einstellung ihrer Frequenz hinzugefügt. Der Kern des SansAmp Bass Driver und alle seine Töne bleiben dem ursprünglichen Design treu.

Much more than just a direct box, the SansAmp Bass Driver DI is capable of dialing up big vintage tube tones, bright modern slap sounds, gnarly distortions, and all in between. Three different outputs to drive power amps, recording desks, PA mixers, or simply enhance your current rig. Controls include Presence for definition and upper harmonic content; Blend to combine the proportion of direct signal and SansAmp circuitry; and active EQ specifically tuned for bass with 12dB of cut or boost.

With the popularity of 5- and 6-string basses going beyond fad status and becoming mainstream, we added a switch to adjust the bass frequency to extend into those lower registers. We also added a mid-range control and a switch to adjust its frequency. The core of the SansAmp Bass Driver and all of its tones remain true to its original design.

Anhand der Spezifikationen des in den 1960ern vorgestellten VOX-Pedals bietet dieses Wah-Wah denselben legendären Sound. Neu sind der Netzteilanschluss und die gepufferte Eingangsbuchse, die eine Klangfärbung des Gitarrensignals bei ausgeschaltetem Pedal verhindert. Die Induktionsspule dieses Pedals wurde ganz klar vom VOX-Original inspiriert und bietet eine entsprechend größere Dynamik und einen fetteren Sound. Diese Neuauflage ist besonders für Gitarristen aller Genres gedacht, deren Signalweg ohne Wah-Pedal unvollständig wäre.

Based on the specifications of the VOX pedal introduced in the 1960s, this wah-wah offers the same legendary sound. New features include the power supply connection and the buffered input jack, which prevents colouration of the guitar signal when the pedal is switched off. The induction coil of this pedal was clearly inspired by the VOX original and offers correspondingly greater dynamics and a fatter sound. This new edition is especially designed for guitarists of all genres whose signal path would be incomplete without a wah pedal.

Der Noise Killer ist ein super einfach zu bedienendes Smart Noise Gate Pedal mit zwei Geräuschreduzierungsmodi. Die schnelle Geräuscherkennung und die sanfte Attack / Release sorgen dafür, dass alles ruhig bleibt, ohne die von Ihnen gespielten Noten zu beeinträchtigen.

The Donner Noise Killer is an easy to use effects pedal designed to eliminate unwanted noise. Choose between a hard and soft noise gate to cater to your sound. Note: Please use a power adapter with a voltage of DC9V, an internal negative and external positive polarity and a current of 500mA or more to power your pedal. Failure to do so can cause serious situations where the product does not work or is damaged.

In the past couple of years, Chinese pedal maker NUX has been releasing some not too subtle (and incredibly affordable) clones of several best-selling classic stompboxes under the rather misleadingly named “Reissue Series” (uhm, reissues of pedals… made by other builders?). Nothing wrong with cloning (almost everyone does it) we are just a little perplexed by the use of the “reissue” word.

Even just the color of their Analog Delay betrays the influence of classic Ibanez / Maxon three-knob Bucket Brigade Device delays from the ’80s. That’s exactly what you get with this pedal: the warm repeats of the 3205 and 3102 BBD chips, for just under $60!

You can judge from the videos below if the Nux Analog Delay sounds as good as the units that inspired it. We added this pedal to our list of the Best Analog Delay Pedals.
