The ZVEX Effects Basstortion captures the spirit of the legendary, cranked Ampeg SVT bass amp sound – in an ultra-compact format! Delivering a thick drive tone with an authentic tube-like response, the ZVEX Basstortion growls the harder you dig and reacts extremely well to your playing dynamics.

Ampeg SVT Sound

ZVEX Effects' Basstortion pedal imitates the tonal characteristics of the Ampeg SVT, meaning that its control-set offers a similar level of versatility too.

The Basstortion's 'Drive' knob is extremely flexible, taking you from a barely perceptible tube grind to a bombastic bass crunch – and everything in between! The 'Volume' control is self-explanatory; allowing you to adjust the overall level of the pedal in relation to your base tone (no pun intended).

Ultimate Amp-Like Control

To tweak the shape of the Basstortion's crushing drive sound, the 'Tone' knob gives you plenty of legroom. Affecting the treble frequencies, you can crank this control to add more bite and definition so that your bass carves through the mix. Alternatively, you could dial it down for a rounded, beefier sound.

The 'Bright/Dark' EQ switch lets you influence the Basstortion's sound even more. The 'Bright' mode introduces far more upper-treble content for added clarity. The 'Dark' setting is far tamer and more vintage-like. Both modes interact directly with the placement of the unit's 'Tone' control.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.
