I'm putting these 2 high-end bass saturation pedals through a rigorous shoot out. Which one suits your needs?

This is in no way an exhaustive review of all the pedals' features but hopefully gives you an idea what they sound like!

Jad Freer added these comments regarding the Capo:

1- If you are going to the F side and need more highs you can engage the BITE switch, it works just on that side of the preamp

2- BLEND is not a blend with the direct signal but with a fixed gain clean preamp so you can use the CAPO without any saturation and go full clean with EQ. Note that at 18:00 you are using the pedal with also B side engaged: so you are not blending with a clean sound but the A side clean with the B side saturated.

3- yes, its a low pass filter...it gently cuts over 10K to make drive tones smoother when going direct. I like it also for clean tones, a little bit more vintage.

I think you fairly show that one is a coloured amp sim and the other is a full featured preamp.

Signal chain:
Elixir 45s
Moollon J Classic passive bass
(AB output switcher)
BassRig/Capo
(Lehle input selector)
Little Labs Redeye DI box
Metric Halo mic pre (very clean interface mic pre)
