Bassman® pedals have all your basses covered. Drawing inspiration from the original tube amp line that laid way for Fender’s sub-sonic signal processing, the Bassman pedal line hosts a collection of meticulously crafted analog and digital circuits all curated from the ground up for bass-centric tonal expansion.

Conjure varying shades of gain, from light tube-like breakup to hi-gain chunk, while keeping your low end intact. Utilizing a complement of JFET circuitry and dynamic clipping stages, the Bassman Driver emulates the behavior of a bass tube amp driven to breakup. Flick the voice switch into the up position to kick in an additional layer of clipping for a heavy modern distortion voicing. Sculpt your tone further using the mids switch, offering two dialed-in levels of growl, and an internal tone control to set the high frequency content to your liking. The blend control keeps your low end solid by blending body and dynamics from your clean tone back into the mix.

FEATURES

  • Two gain voices designed around JFET circuity and dynamic clipping stages for tube like distortion
  • Built in speaker emulation ensures great sound through any bass cab or PA
  • Soft-touch relay true bypass with auto bypass when no power is present
  • Side mounted pad switch to suit active basses
  • Top mounted jacks and road-ready aluminum enclosure
  • Inset aluminum face plate draws in vintage Fender aesthetics

Specialist Effects Pedals

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

Tags

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

Digital

Converts the signal or control process into numerical data for algorithmic processing. Digital designs can provide precise timing, long memory, complex routing and repeatable presets; sample rate, conversion, internal resolution and latency influence fidelity and response.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.

Vocal

Designed for microphone-level signals and the frequency, dynamics and feedback behaviour of the human voice. Input gain, balanced connections, phantom power and pitch tracking may be provided so effects respond correctly before the signal reaches a mixer or PA.
