Ultrawave vs B3K vs LT Metal on DB-01 synth (no talking)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A comparison of three drivey-distortiony pedals on a single pattern from the DB-01: the Source Audio Ultrawave; the Blackstar LT Metal; and the Darkglass B3K.
The synth pattern includes a few low pitch-mod thumps and it's interesting to note the changes in bass. I tried to keep the pedal sounds similar to get a good idea of the particular 'flavor' of the drives.
Of course the Ultrawave is capable of all sorts of extra goodness (full demo soon) but I thought it at least needed a bit of a stereo field considering full stereo is one of its main features. One slightly odd thing about the Ultrawave is that it won't work properly when placed after either of the other drives which is why I replug halfway through.
Happily, all three pedals take line level extremely well.
