Excellent product,

I bought this on a whim as I love Jack White and his sound. On recieving it I noticed how good the quality is in every way.....and the sounds are great and I can believe that Jack himself worked on the sounds here. I have added it to my dirty pedal board to use at a gig shortly. G

Thanks for @gear.anxiety

It looks great, it sounds really good, and it's affordable ! To be honest, I wanted a Third Man Hardware product, and this is the only affordable one, so as soon as it was available, I got one. As I said, it has all the qualities you want from a TMH product at what I consider a fare price for a Chinese product. I'm a fan of Donner products, I already have 5 of them, so I wasn't surprised at how good this pedal is. Now the sounds are good, although a bit standard for the effect type each represents. My favorite is the distortion. I'm not usually a distortion fan, but this one sounds just raunchy enough, without getting muddy. Sounds best to me with p90s. The phaser is the one I like the least. It sounds a bit flanger-esque, which I guess makes it versatile. The delay is a reiteration of the yellow fall, which I already own and like, so I'm obviously happy with it. I highly recommend this product.

I received my Donner Mini Effect Chain Alpha BASS Guitar Effect today. It's super small, in a good way. As you can see in the pictures it's not much larger than a stand size effect pedal. You can just tuck it into your bass case be be good to go. The packaging was great. I confess I already own two of the Donner Mini Effect Chain Alpha Crunchers for guitar. Solid little units. One is home and the other is in my gig bag in case something happens to my pedal board. Some nice features we that the power cord is approximately 10 feet long which should be fine for most gigs and there is a XLR direct out on the side of the unit making it perfect for recording and anyone going direct such as church musicians. I won’t be able to test that feature until the next time we have a gig. For this review I used a Warmoth custom five string bass with EMG pickups so I could get the most clear sound possible. For the review I used a small SWR LA 12 practice amp instead of dragging my monster GK rig out. Right to left you have a compressor, bass drive and a chorus. Setting all controls at noon, the Compressor added a nice clarity to the five string, even the low B string. Of course you have to do some slapping to test out the Compressor and it did great. The setting I liked best was everything at noon but the level I pushed to about 1:30. Next up the the Bass Drive. All my bass heros growing up, John Entwistle, Jack Bruce, Chris Squire etc, had very overdriven tones. Well, their bass amps were cranked into distortion at levels we mere mortals can’t play at at clubs or most of our gigs. It’s always been hard to get a good overdriven or distortion tone with a bass at lower volumes without losing the low end. The method I’ve used in my band when an overdriven bass is required is using a AB box to split the signal so I can mix the clean and dirty to get the drive and clarity. A lot of work to get “that tone”. Again starting with all settings at noon, I found the Bass Drive more on the distortion side of things as opposed to the overdriven side. At 9 o’clock with the tone rolled back you get a big overdriven sound, at 3 o’clock with the tone rolled up you are almost in fuzz territory. The Chorus is a simple one knob which adjusts the level. I found this most useful by itself or combined with the Compressor. Nice for chording work. I found the Compressor running into the Bass Drive really cleaned up the clarity of the overdriven and distorted notes. Especially the E and B strings. With a few adjustments you can find yourself in the John Entwistle zone playing “Won’t Get Fooled Again” or “515" and reasonable household or rehearsal space volumes. I did notice a light sound notch or bump in the various Bass Drive levels when you adjusted it. Not a big deal as this is more of a set it and forget it pedal. My Rickenbacker was in the shop so I wasn’t able to try that bass to see if I could get any Chris Squire tones out of it. Just for HaHa’s I did pull out my eight string bass and ran through a few Cheap Trick songs. The eight string has a slight chorus sound anyway so running the individual effects and together was interesting and fun. I’m looking forward to taking it to my next gig and running it direct into the PA and also into my jumbo bass rig.

3 4 $100! 2 good 2 b tru? no. it is real. this pedal(s) is 1 every1 should have. i only wish that donner and 3rd man could make it so. free fx 4 all!

Sounds great and well built. Offers a wide range of tones in a convenient little pedal. Package arrived quickly.

I love the Triple threat and this is my set up. Great results for the money. I had to wait a while but bought it as soon as it was available.

Wow - I love this pedal ! For the price, it is awesome - the effects sound great ... so glad I got it. j

Fun pedal, distortion is great on this. Echo and phasers are just what you’d expect.
