Akai Deep Impact SB-1

Some fooling around with the akai sb-1 to provide some sound material for people.

Recorded through a Trace Elliot GP7 SM top, into my soundcard.
Played on an Ibanez Roadgear 600 with Elixer Strings.

Note: I don't own this pedal anymore

Sell me that O_o please!

[MuseMatt]

it was sold over a year ago...

[Aussietuga]

Cant for the life of me understand why these pedals are so overpriced these days...

[Musettaja]

I think those blips and other glitches might be consequense of strings hitting the frets when you muting the strings. But I think you know better because you actually own this pedal and so. :D

Thank you Matt!!!

@Aussietuga i think its safe to blame Christopher Wolstenholme

@lj0281  I have a Korg G5 (I paid about $150). I'd say the tracking sounds about as good as the Deep Impact pedal from what I've heard on YouTube.

[lj0281]

SB1s are severely overpriced because:

1) Bass player from Muse uses one.

2) They're no longer in production

3) They are one of the best Bass Synth pedals ever made - good tracking, good sounds, and programmable which makes it great for live use.

IMHO, try to find a Korg G5, which is the most comparable unit, and it won't cost you nearly $1000 to buy. Just got one for $150 (although, that was truly a steal). They usually run about $300, but are also out of production and can be hard to find.

@Timmy4pawz

It is the most impressive and simply the best synth pedal for a bass...try an electro harmonix or a boss...nothing on the deep impact...I would buy it because it is so great and chris wolstenholme is my fav bassist.

@ThatBluesMan

the hysteria sound comes from this pedal. chris wolstenholme uses an sb1 akai deep impact bass synth pedal.

[ekalb2185]

nice synth sounds, I wouldn't mind getting a double neck guitar and bass and have this pedal for my bass-synth lines
