I've been looking at the ADAM for a couple of days now, not knowing if it was what i wanted and whatching this vid made me doubt it even more, i like most of nollys tweaks, but this pedal seems to be the ideal one for me since the adams distortion presets are way over the top for me. Anyways, great video, amazing licks, insane mastering and tones. Liked and suscribed! BTW kenob is now my new favorite word. Cheers mate!

Thank you so much! The ADAM can also do cleans and clanky distortions but it definitely feels more geared towards heavier distortion. I love the fact that they introduced a dedicated clean preamp on this!

Great review, Subscribed. To be honest I just needed a compressor Pedal for when I practice bass to hear all the strings evenly without having to power up my entire home studio. However for as much as is packed in this baby this is one sick bang for the Buck. Sick for studio, but even sicker that now I hear you can even Gig with it without the need of an added Amp/cab, WOW! Between this and my Victory Kraken V4 Amp Pedal I have the entire string section covered lol. Show up with just 2 guitars and a back pack and not having to sacrifice that full analog tube warmth tone by using digital modelers like the Quad Cortex. Im so glad I didn't get that when it first came out. Love how DarkGlass got away with using Rotary Switches LOL which was the coolest thing about the Cortex anyway. Thats why they have patents guys. Im not a Pedal guy and hate FX, but every now and again a Pedal comes out thats so groundbreaking I have to add it to my collection and the insanely versatile Microtubes Infinity is no exception. Mine is arriving tomorrow, Cant Wait!

Hi and thank for the great review! I wonder if you can keep this thing plugged in the amp and bass and at the same time have it plugged in to computer with Darkglass Suite turned on. That way one can hear directly through the amp everything that one in Suite changes.

Thank you! And yeah, it's possible! You can also use all that the Suite offers via your mobile phone and control the Infinity by Bluetooth :)

Great review! For the balanced outputs on the pedal, are you using a TS or TRS cable to connect to an amplifier?

@Paajanenae

Жыл бұрын

The safest bet would be to use a TS cable. You lose the 3dB of volume anyway but it will be more reliable - some amps only start passing signal once there is a TS cable connected to the input and many pedals are the same and a TRS cable won't work with these. Without a balanced input on your amp you won't ever gain the 3dB back and also using a TRS cable without a balanced connection at both ends won't benefit you in any way.

No boost function/attack switch like the original B3k I guess? Its weird to me that the Photon has bite + the high shelf slider but the infinity has mid boost instead of the attack switch and the high shelf slider. Unless I missed it, always really liked that function on my B7k. you get the kind of tones from this unit that are good without it though, good vid.

@Paajanenae

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, the Bite switch got removed from the B3K in v2! My understanding is that these days it's always on boost and there's an adjustable high-cut ("Tone") to control the top end. I too like the Bite-switch better, don't know why though because I hardly ever turn it to flat 😂
