"I loved them all, especially the DynaVerb, and can’t wait to try the two that are still on the way".
Four of the new Black Label Studio Edition pedals from EBS are reviewed in the new issue of Guitar Interactive magazine - the MultiComp SE, Octabass SE, MetalDrive SE and DynaVerb SE.
"In (the MultiComp’s) TubeSim mode, a ‘full band’ compressor mates with a 'tube simulator circuit for extra warmth and harmonics’. To my ear, I like what this mode does to the midrange of my bass. Definitely my favourite setting on this pedal”.
“The (Octabass’) high setting adds upper midrange and top end accenting, giving the octave effect grit and presence whereas the lower setting creates a more sub-bass style bottom end that leaves space between the two octaves. The mid setting is just that, melding both signals smoothly”.
“Dishing up a range of mild to full throttle distortions, the MetalDrive can ‘do’ gentle but it’s not for the faint hearted on higher settings! For some truly mushy bass dirt, crank the drive control and stand back”.
“I’d like to use just one word to describe this pedal, Wow! This 24bit digital reverb has so much to offer in such a small pedal sized box. This one is a real winner”.
