The clip is rather noisy because I'm in an ancient house sitting next to a CRT monitor with single coil pickups.
There's no additional effects or processing on the file, just the bass and the Hartke Bass Attack.

FEATURES I LIKE:
- Very sturdy METAL
- Knobs feel good man
- Can run off of phantom power if you use the direct XLR out
- SHAPE is like a boost with a sweepable mid cut
- The "harmonics" actually doesn't sound shitty
- The affected signal is not full on, it's mixable with your dry signal
- Bigass rubber skids on the bottom
- All EQ stuff seems very responsive, wide range of ROCK TONES
- Cheaper than a SANSAMP!
BLAHS:
- The 9v battery door is plastic and rather awkward.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT.
I will try this out in a live situation soon, but really bought it for recording. I can see it being used probably every time I track bass, especially if I need a more overdriven, or KILLER tone.
