This versatile studio-grade compressor is a must have for any bass player looking to maximize their sound, with a range of tones from subtle to super-squashed. One of the secrets to the Studio Bass’s power is its 3-position mini-toggle and blend knob, which give you near limitless control over your tone by letting you mix uncompressed tones alongside the affected sound. Blend in your unadulterated clean signal, a mid boost that will help you cut through the busiest mixes, or a fat low-end growl. Find that sweet spot where harder picking lifts the dry signal right up above the effected signal or mix in just a hint of the original sound. Punk rock pick players, slap-happy funkateers and ferocious fingerstyle players alike will find endless sonic options, and there’s enough power that you can even use it as a clean boost for solos. It also makes a great ‘always-on’ pedal to form the heart of your sound. SUBTLE COMPRESSION Add just a little compression to your overall tone to even things out. HIGH COMPRESSION A large amount of compressed tone mixed with very little dry signal. Great for smoothing out the dynamics in slap-style playing and keeping the pulled notes from becoming too harsh and overbearing. SHARP, FAST Add a little sparkle and punch to your top end without sacrificing any of your low end tone! REGGAE Give your sound that fat bottom end you need to have for Reggae, Funk and World music. ROUND AND FAT Great for ballads, Motown, and anytime you want a vintage tone with a nice even amount of top, mid, and bottom. PUNCHY ROCK Add an aggressive midrange punch to your overall tone while maintaining a fat bottom end.
