 
Hi everyone, and welcome to NXP Bass!
Something really exciting today!
I did a video before about Rick-o-sound, about the stereo
output on the Rick
And that was quite detailed on the setup
So quite interesting, I'm not gonna cover that again
I'll give a link at the end
of this video if you want to check the setup!
But in terms of samples
I had recorded only using a microphone
And I think that didn't really give justice cause I wasn't in the studio,
I couldn't really have one amplifier there, one amplifier there
We couldn't really here in stereo what the stereo output does.
So what I'm gonna do today
Is I'm going to go  Direct Input
And I'm going to use the different channels and send them to different sides
So even better if you can listen to this video with headphones
of course.
So what I'll do is I'll start with the Standard output
And I'll go through systematically
a set list of tests here
And I'll do the same again with the Stereo output after that.
I'll put in the description below
some schortcuts so you can go
navigate easily
from one bit to one bit and compare with
what needs to be compared and do real A/B testing
So what I'll do one the Standard
is I'll have the Rick
panned to the right at 75%
and for the part I'm playing along, I'm playing along to
a Black Sabbath track called Paranoid
I'll have the panned to the left at 75%.
But when I move to Stereo what I'll do is I'll have
The Bridge pickup on the right
I'll have the Neck pickup and the backing track
on the left hand side.
And in both cases
I'm gonna cycle through the same list of tests
I've got a cheat sheet here, my script!
So I'll be going: clean Bridge pickup only,
Clean Neck pickup only,
Clean sound with both of them
And then adding some effects, so when we're in Standard that will mean
going through
The EQ and Distortion on the Darkglass,
And when we're in Stereo that will mean
That the Bridge pickup goes through the Darkglass
But the Neck pickups actually goes through
A Trace Elliot floor preamp here, the Transit B
Where I'll switch on just the Pre-Shape and the Compression
so we have a separate
great bass sound in one ear
and great trebley and Rick-ey sound
on the right hand side.
That should be interesting, I'm looking forward to hearing the result myself actually
I hope everyone enjoys it,
and that's it I'm not talking anymore so I'm gonna turn off the microphone.
