The Batallion is an all-in-one Bass DI pedal with everything that you'd need to get fat, driven bass tones in a live or studio situation without carrying a massive, heavy rig around with you.
Pro Setup
The Batallion has a variety of professional features that you'd normally need to carry around in a 12u rack! Things like the compressor, 4-band EQ, Noise Gate and a comprehensive input and output section.
You've got a direct microphone XLR output for recording or going directly into a PA system as well as a standard jack output for running an amp at the same time.
Controllable EQ
The EQ Section has low and top end controls as you'd expect with a low and high mid to create the exact kind of note definition that you can hear in your head. Whether that be woolly fuzzy bass tones or tight, clean slap and pop sounds.
