One Control's Crimson Red Bass Preamp was designed to reproduce the iconic old-school '60s and '70s electric bass sound by giving the bottom-end a boost at an extremely low distortion level. If you love smooth, rounded tones akin to what you can create with a "flatwound"-strung bass — the Crimson Red is a great shout!
One Control 'BJF Series' Pedals
One Control are well-known for their pedal switchers and pedalboard management devices, but they also make their own effects — the BJF Series! These mini pedals are designed by Björn Juhl, a legend within the stompbox sphere who's highly regarded for his work with Mad Professor, Barefoot FX and his own company, BJFE. These stompboxes not only sound amazing, but save precious pedalboard real-estate too!
Björn Juhl on the Crimson Red Bass Preamp:
"The Crimson Red Bass Preamp allows you to relive the sounds of bass amplification before extreme clarity, thanks to 400W amps and tweeters, was a thing in the bass world. The unit reproduces the sound similar to a single 15" or 18" setup."
Crimson Red allows you to control 3 main characteristics:
- Volume: Output volume
- Brilliance: Bandwidth control. At maximum, treble can pass. Whereas at the most counter-clockwise position, only bass is amplified.
- Gain: Boost control.
"The Crimson Red Bass Preamp can be used with modern bass amp setups, while bringing back that old-school feel of a '60s upright bass and '70s electric bass."
