Effects very transparent boost, VLE and VPF filters Two.
The pedal is typical yellow "markbass."
(Oulààà I repainted black with red writing, so I found this ugly color without equal)

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. one branch, turn the knobs ...
can be actuated independently of footswitch: that boost and that corresponding to the two filters, or both simultaneously.
It's not stupid because the filters, especially the VLE, ​​lose a lot of bottom dynamic sound.
Simultaneously engaging in the boost, bass filtered the VLE and VPF spring mix and
simply put, it re-grows in volume what you lose in dynamic ...

SOUND QUALITY

The boost and perfectly transparent. Bass out of the mix, no distortion (it depends on the amp also final).
Perfect for force grateux to listen to you!
Or simply for a solo passage from scratch in a "power-trio" is perfect!

VLE or vintage loudspeaker emulator is a filter that increases the low frequency, hollow mids ... The more you turn the knob, the more turns his HP 10 "15" vintage.
The sound becomes muffled and sub 'sub-bass.

The VPF or Variable Pre-shape Filter, is the acute, especially for a slap.

(Level filters, there are better and more complete with the bass attack.)

I played with a Cort B5 OD or SD-GR 5 ibanez codes.
I bought this pedal to the level of his disgusting little giant in breathless found in my studio Repette.
No more low frequency escaping from these 4 * 10.
Dynamics and fuzzy, well, crap ...
As they will not change for now and as always it happens to fall on the amp rotten over the peregrinations of a group, bearing filters allow a little about it.
Is sacrificed in favor of its dynamic sound more or less infra bass with a Disto, or equipped with a fuzz blend, we can sculpt a sound big and fat, rich in harmonics, perhaps better defined but unfortunately stagnate too low to frequency.

In the end, this pedal will serve me as my Sunn concert bass amp super powerful, but with a large package in the midrange, and "breath" because very Brite ...
With bosster markbass is all show!
Reduce mediums, low back huge bearing on very light breath of "on-brite" ...

OVERALL OPINION

Regarding other model, the bass attack of both artke can sculpt the sound of the bass that these two filters integrated booster markbass, but the spirit is different.
The bass attack preamp + complete one, while the booster markbass and boost pedal with more direct output.

The price is really excessive.

To finish:
The boost is very useful and perfect for all bassists.
Filters, found on each amp markbass also are unique.
Useful primarily for bassists looking infra bass sound, and do not like graphic equalizer amps, or who do not like their tamper three days amp knobs to achieve their end.
See like me straighten the sound of an amp "rotten" or a vintage amp to its very specific.

DI Plus, it still serves.
