Improved Tracking
A range switch lets you change the pedal’s tracking focus from lower in your bass range to higher. This ensures ultra-precise tracking, unprecedented for an all-analogue pedal at this price-point.
Enhanced Tone Control
By adding a seamless tone control you can go from a present, focused octave sound that cuts through the mix all the way to a sub-bass backdrop of lows that discreetly supports the note you play. The tone control enhances the palette of sounds and also makes it easier to achieve a synthesized bass sound.
