When it was introduced in 2010, the original POLYTUNE forever revolutionized the way musicians tune their instruments. Praised by professional and amateur players, guitar tuning instantly became as simple as Strum - Tune - Rock! So how do you make the best-selling polyphonic tuner even better? You take it to the next level by: providing multiple tuning modes, including polyphonic, chromatic, strobe and a variety of altered tunings; adding an onboard BONAFIDE BUFFER to preserve your tone over long cable runs and pedal board signal paths; and upgrading the LED display for even higher tuning accuracy. Say hello to your next tuner – POLYTUNE 3.

Der MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe basiert auf reiner analoger Bucket-Brigade-Technologie, die schimmernde, flüssige Chorus- und rauschende, metallische Flanger-Effekte liefert und dabei den Punch und das Fundament deines Low Ends bewahrt.

Der Bass Chorus Deluxe verfügt über Flanger- und X-Over-Tasten auf der Oberseite mit LED-Statusanzeigen. Im X-Over-Modus wird die Modulation in den tiefen Frequenzen auf 100 Hz abgesenkt - perfekt für das Spielen von Akkorden, Melodien und Fills in den oberen Registern, während die tiefen Frequenzen in der richtigen Stimmung bleiben. Mit den Reglern für Bass und Treble können Sie die Tiefen und Höhen absenken oder anheben und den Klangcharakter des Effekts gestalten. Für einen breiten Stereosound können Sie über einen internen Schalter den TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) Stereo Hardwire Bypass Mode wählen. In diesem Modus können Sie ein TRS-auf-TS-(Tip-Sleeve)-Y-Verteilerkabel verwenden, um das Effektsignal an zwei verschiedene Verstärker zu senden, so dass die Modulation von links nach rechts wandern kann.

The MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe is powered by pure analog bucket-brigade technology, serving up shimmering, liquid chorus and swooshing, metallic flanger effects while preserving the punch and fundamental of your low end.

The Bass Chorus Deluxe features top-mounted Flanger and X-Over buttons with LED status indicators. In X-Over Mode, modulation in low frequencies is decreased at 100Hz—perfect for playing upper register chords, melodies and fills while keeping the low end in tune. With Bass and Treble controls you can cut or boost lows and highs and shape the tonal character of the effect. For a wide stereo sound, select the TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) Stereo Hardwire Bypass Mode via an internal switch. In this mode, you can use a TRS to TS (tip-sleeve) Y-splitter cable to send the effect signal to two different amplifiers, allowing the modulation to move from left to right.

Der EHX Bass Micro Synthesizer ist ein reiner Bassgitarren-Synthesizer mit vollständig analoger Schaltung. Einstellbare Synthesizer-Parameter erzeugen satte, kraftvolle Klänge aus einer anderen Welt.  

Die Voice-Mix-Sektion ermöglicht die Mischung aus vier verschiedenen Stimmen: Sub-Octave, Guitar, Octave und Square Wave. Besonders die Square Wave sorgt für den charakteristischen, fuzzigen Klang des Bass Micro Synthesizers, der an den kosmischen Sound der 70er Jahre erinnert.  

Mit der Attack-Decay-Steuerung lassen sich gestrichene Effekte oder bedrohliche Lautstärkeschwankungen erzeugen, während die Filter-Sweep-Sektion das gesamte Frequenzspektrum durchläuft – von schnellen, präzisen Schnitten von Hoch nach Tief bis hin zu langsamen, fließenden Anstiegen von Tief nach Hoch.

The EHX Bass Micro Synthesizer is a pure bass guitar synthesizer with all analog circuitry. Adjustable synth parameters deliver fat, sweet tones from another world.

Its voice mix section lets you bring in 4 different voices: Sub Octave, Guitar, Octave, and Square Wave. The Square Wave gives the Bass Micro Snythesizer its signature, fuzzy growl that calls back to the cosmic ’70s .

An Attack Decay control creates bowed effects or ominous volume swells while the Filter Sweep section sweeps through the full frequency spectrum for sound from quick high to low chops and slow low to high blooms.

Separate Dry and Effect controls let you dial in the perfect mix of effected and direct signals, so you can bring the funk without losing the low end.

The Bass Envelope Filter's power supply circuitry is designed to withstand over-voltage or polarity mishaps, and its true-bypass switching preserves your tone in bypass mode. It's all packaged in a durable, lightweight, Phase 90-size aluminum housing for the ultimate in portability and pedalboard space-saving dimensions.

The Cali76 Bass Compressor is a studio-grade compressor pedal inspired by the world-famous Urei® 1176® studio compressor, heard on many of the greatest studio recordings since the 1960s. The Cali76 Bass Compressor uses uncompromising all-analogue circuitry to make these distinctive, ultra-fast FET compression tones available to the modern guitarist.

The latest in a long lineage of Cali76 compressors, the Cali76 Bass Compressor features a full set of studio-style controls, a DRY knob for parallel compression and an improved sidechain that matches the response of our sought-after “large format” Cali76 – the pedal that put Origin Effects on the map back in 2012.

With a 10-LED gain reduction meter, a pedalboard friendly enclosure and massive headroom thanks to internally increased voltage, the Cali76 Bass Compressor marks the culmination of over a decade of experience making the world’s finest compressor pedals.

The Bassbone V2 is a bass command center that enables one to seamlessly switch between
any two bass guitars including active, passive (magnetic) and upright (piezo). When the PZB
booster is engaged, the PZB activates a special boost circuit for piezo transducers that at
once increases the sensitivity and impedance to 10 meg-Ohms, this results in a much wider
frequency response. Two channels let you set up each instrument with their own tone and
signal level. Channel-1 features two preset tones that will bring a modern vibe to older
vintage amps. Channel-2 features a powerful passive-interactive EQ that lets you carve out
any tone. When Input-2 is not in use the Bassbone reverts to a 2-channel preamp that lets
you create two completely different tones with one bass. A built-in effects loop lets you to
share pedals with both basses and this is supplemented with a variable power booster for
solos and a mute switch for quiet-on-stage tuning. A built-in Radial DI box delivers the
performance to the PA or recording system.

When we released our original Compressor back in 2011, it quickly became a favourite among guitar and bass players alike who were searching for something more than the typical oversimplified controls found on most compressor pedals. Now, based on our users’ valuable feedback, we’ve taken everything great about our original Compressor and made it even better. 

On top of the full range of features and controls normally only seen in high end studio equipment, such as input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert, we’ve now added a ‘tilt’ tone eq control, and a selectable sidechain high pass filter built into the Compressor’s detection circuit. Oh, and the whole package is now half the size and available in two snazzy colours!

The Microtubes X Ultra greatly expands on the already immense versatility of the Microtubes X7. Featuring all the great controls that its predecessor has that allows users to select exactly what frequencies they want to compress and saturate for the low and treble respectively, but with four major additions providing an additional layer of flexibility, while maintaining the same compact footprint, making it an extremely complete tool for the modern bassist.

Basierend auf dem gleichen Konzept und den Möglichkeiten des Flaggschiffs BOSS ES-8, ist der BOSS ES-5 eine minimal abgespeckte Version, die im deutlich kleineren Gehäuse daher kommt und somit ohne Mühe auch auf kleinere Pedalboards passt. Alle wesentlichen Bedürfnisse von Gitarristen und Bassisten werden auch hier bedient. Die kreativen Möglichkeiten für Pedalboard-Systeme, die der ES-8 ermöglicht, sind jetzt auch für kleinere Anwendungen erschwinglich. Erweitere dein Pedalboard mit dem kleinen ES-5 und du spielst in einer völlig neuen Liga. Von jetzt an wirst Du deine Effektpedale völlig anders einsetzen.

Based on the same concept and features as the flagship ES-8, the ES-5 is pared down to offer more practical and essential use options for typical guitarists and bassists, and is drastically reduced in size to fit ready-made, standard-size boards. The innovation in creativity of pedalboard systems made possible by the ES-8 has become more available and affordable. Expand your board just by one size and incorporate the ES-5, then you are in for a whole new world of musical expression, not just another utility tool. From this day on, the use of stompboxes will never be the same.

Das MXR M287 Sub Octave Bass Fuzz ist ein wahrer Koloss unter den Bass-Effektgeräten und überzeugt mit einem markerschütternden Sound, der die Wände zum erzittern bringt. Hierbei addiert der Octaver, dessen Schaltung auf der Growl-Sektion des beliebten MCR Bass Octave Deluxe basiert, eine Oktave unterhalb des gespielten Tons für einen mächtigen Low End Punch. Darüber hinaus bietet das integrierte Fuzz nicht nur eine 2-Band Klangregelung für Bässe und Höhen, sondern auch zwei Voices. Während das erste Voicing einen warmen, sanft komprimierenden Sound liefert, überzeugt das zweite mit seiner helleren und aggressiveren Klangentfaltung. Damit der natürliche Charakter des verwendeten Basses und die Definition des Tons nicht verloren gehen, kann außerdem das trockene Signal stufenlos hinzugemischt werden, wobei der separate Mittenregler bei Bedarf für einen gesteigerten Punch sorgt.

The MXR M287 Sub Octave Bass Fuzz is a true colossus among bass effect units and impresses with a bloodcurdling sound that makes the walls tremble. The octaver, whose circuit is based on the growl section of the popular MCR Bass Octave Deluxe, adds an octave below the played tone for a powerful low-end punch. In addition, the integrated fuzz not only offers a 2-band tone control for bass and treble, but also two voices. While the first voicing delivers a warm, gently compressive sound, the second is convincing with its brighter and more aggressive sound development. To ensure that the natural character of the bass used and the definition of the tone are not lost, the dry signal can also be mixed in continuously, with the separate mid-range control providing an increased punch if required.

Der SansAmp Bass Driver DI ist viel mehr als nur eine Direktbox. Er kann große Vintage-Röhrensounds, helle moderne Slap-Sounds, knorrige Verzerrungen und alles dazwischen erzeugen. Drei verschiedene Ausgänge zum Ansteuern von Endstufen, Aufnahmepulten, PA-Mischpulten oder einfach zum Verbessern Ihres aktuellen Rigs. Zu den Reglern gehören Presence für die Definition und den oberen Obertongehalt, Blend, um das Verhältnis von Direktsignal und SansAmp-Schaltung zu kombinieren, und ein aktiver EQ, der mit 12 dB Absenkung oder Anhebung speziell auf den Bass abgestimmt ist.

Da die Popularität von 5- und 6-saitigen Bässen den Status einer Modeerscheinung überschritten hat und zum Mainstream geworden ist, haben wir einen Schalter hinzugefügt, mit dem die Bassfrequenz so eingestellt werden kann, dass sie auch in die tieferen Lagen reicht. Außerdem haben wir einen Regler für die Mitten und einen Schalter zur Einstellung ihrer Frequenz hinzugefügt. Der Kern des SansAmp Bass Driver und alle seine Töne bleiben dem ursprünglichen Design treu.

Much more than just a direct box, the SansAmp Bass Driver DI is capable of dialing up big vintage tube tones, bright modern slap sounds, gnarly distortions, and all in between. Three different outputs to drive power amps, recording desks, PA mixers, or simply enhance your current rig. Controls include Presence for definition and upper harmonic content; Blend to combine the proportion of direct signal and SansAmp circuitry; and active EQ specifically tuned for bass with 12dB of cut or boost.

With the popularity of 5- and 6-string basses going beyond fad status and becoming mainstream, we added a switch to adjust the bass frequency to extend into those lower registers. We also added a mid-range control and a switch to adjust its frequency. The core of the SansAmp Bass Driver and all of its tones remain true to its original design.
