Features
Five AMP Models: Choose from five pre-tuned amplifiers with completely different voicings. Every amp is tailored to accommodate various bass distortion aesthetics and playing styles.
Five CAB Impulses: Custom cabinet modeling based on parallel IIR technology with minimal phase issues and low latency.
ToneSpot: ToneSpot technology builds upon the development and success of our ToneSpot plug-in series. It provides complex and efficient EQ shaping with only minimal controls needed. The ToneSpot function is extremely usable across all positions of the knob.
Blend: Mixes in the drive section of the pedal. When the blend control is turned completely down, the dry signal is still processed by the ToneSpot & CAB circuits.
Boost: Engage the boost function by the dedicated switch and get the instant signal push and more focused bass tone. Just what a bass djentleman needs.
Gate: Onboard expander-gate can be activated via the utility panel below the pedal and it includes separately engageable threshold Learn feature.
