The Duality Dual Fuzz from Darkglass Electronics offers not one but two distinct fuzz circuits, which can be blended any way you choose with your clean signal, therefore creating a whole range of fuzztone filth.

Classily presented in a brushed silver matte finish with a mirror chromed top facing, the four black controls all turn reassuringly smoothly while the stomp button is solid and firmly operated: the whole pedal is evidently built to last.

The Blend control ranges from a clean signal when turned fully left to a positively dripping fuzztone when panned fully right, although it is possible to hear both the clean and effected signals simultaneously. Level adds grit and distortion, while the Filter control increases the resonance, top end clarity and definition.

Impressively, articulation is never lost with this pedal, although if  you prefer to lessen the high-end characteristics (we're after fuzz, not fizz, after all), roll off the Filter control to your preference as any dodgy fretting or mistakes will stand out like a sore thumb. Warm and rich, just as a great fuzz pedal should be, the power and aggression which this pedal is able to conjure up is mightily impressive.

Based on our coveted Tone Hammer amplifier, the Tone Hammer preamp/DI is our swiss-army knife for your pedalboard. Featuring fully sweepable midrange frequencies in addition to bass and treble controls the Tone Hammer gives you studio-inspired EQ paired with a pristine D.I. for the studio and stage. To give this tone shaping unit the ultimate flexibility we introduce our proprietary Adaptive Gain Shaping circuitry (AGS). AGS allows the player to kick in an additional gain structure allowing you to go from modern tones to vintage, tube-like saturation with the stomp of a button. It’s 18 volt operation gives the Tone Hammer plenty of headroom to reproduce the most dynamic playing styles and it robust design makes this pedal truly road-worthy.

Bi-amplification preamp bass pedal based on Orange bass and guitar amps.

Back in the good ol’ days, it was a popular practice to send a bass guitar signal to a bass amp and a guitar amp at the same time – known as Bi-Amping. This allows the player to keep their low end deep, clean and defined whilst amplifying the mids and top end separately, adding distortion or crisp highs with total control.

This type of setup can produce some enormous tones but typically requires a huge and complicated rig, only possible if you’re Rock ‘n’ Roll royalty. But, if you have to get all this together by yourself? Forget it!

Enter The Bass Butler…

The result is hard-hitting distortion with a big low end that is similar to what you'd expect from a large amp stack driven hard. Gain and tone controls make it possible to dial in anything from a natural crunch to fuzzy, dirty distortion, providing a broad spectrum of tones that can add new dimensions to your music.

Available as a limited special edition, this anniversary pedal covers all the expected drive tones, plus a lot more besides.

Designed in collaboration with Darkglass Electronics, the 35th Anniversary drive pedal goes full stealth with a black and gold colour scheme and a special 35th Anniversary logo box. Aside from the engage switch (which illuminates a very cool LED) and the usual in/out and DC power sockets, the pedal has three controls – level, drive and tone. As with all Darkglass pedals, you also get true bypass switching, a particularly hard-wearing footswitch and a super-bright LED.

While this is a stompbox capable of some impressive high gain sounds, it’s been designed to be equally effective at lower, more classic levels of drive and to be sensitive to bass playing dynamics. “We’ve blended old-school vibes, appealing visuals and some modern production techniques to create a pedal that has much more versatility than you might have assumed,” said Sheldon Dingwall. “It’s really been designed to capture the dynamic interaction between you and your bass. There’s plenty of dynamic range before the crunch really sets in.”
The result is a wide range of tonal possibilities from subtly distorted blues tones through to classic rock and metal. This is the perfect stompbox for Dingwall aficionados looking for something with plenty of future collectable prestige.

The SansAmp XB Driver is the culmination of over 30 years designing gear for bass. We have integrated key elements from our most popular bass products –the SansAmp Bass Driver DI, Para Driver DI, Q\Strip and the dUg Pinnick Ultra Bass 1000– and condensed them into a single sleek machine. And just like that, you can go from traditional to diabolical.

The 100% analog, dual-channel SansAmp XB Driver is a veritable vault of treasured bass tones. It is a sophisticated dual-amp, bi-amp, DI toolbox with 15 knobs and 3 switches. Intuitively arranged, like familiar amplifier controls, you can craft a broad range of bass tones without a PhD. The Clean and Drive channels are full-frequency, independent channels that can be used individually or blended together via the Mix footswitch. In Mix mode, you can engage the crossover switch to activate the sweepable LPF & HPF filters, which enables you to even further carve out your own tone footprint.

Geddy Lee tritt seit der „Test for Echo“-Tour 1996 ohne Verstärker und Lautsprecher auf der Bühne auf und bevorzugt stattdessen große Haushaltsgeräte. Um seine Ausrüstung für neue Projekte zu optimieren, entwickelte Geddy zunächst gemeinsam mit Tech 21 einen Signature SansAmp, den GED-2112. Diese anspruchsvolle Zusammenarbeit beinhaltete die Verdichtung einer Rackladung an Equipment auf einer einzigen Rackfläche. Geddy dazu: „Der GED-2112 ist im Grunde die Fortsetzung meines langjährigen Ansatzes für Basssound. Ein ‚tiefer, klarer‘ Klang gepaart mit dem ‚kantigen Crunch‘, den ich vom SansAmp RPM erreiche – alles in einem Gerät.“

Der GED-2112 Rackmount führte ein neues Konzept für paralleles Pre-Amping ein – mit zwei separaten internen Vorverstärkern. Dieses Konzept wurde auch beim kompakten SansAmp YYZ-Pedal übernommen, um die Mischung der beiden Signalwege zu vereinfachen. Der SansAmp DI-2112 vereint das Design eines Rackmount-Pedals mit der Mobilität eines Pedals und bietet ein weiteres neues Format, das sowohl auf dem Studio-Tisch als auch auf einem Amp-Topteil zu Hause ist.

Die Drive-Vorverstärkersektion basiert auf dem vielseitigen SansAmp RPM und bietet ein breites Spektrum an Klangmöglichkeiten. Die Deep-Vorverstärkersektion bietet satte, kernige Sounds. Die Sättigung reicht von Clean in niedrigen Einstellungen über verstärkte Obertöne bis hin zu röhrenartiger Kompression in höheren Einstellungen. Sie können beide Sektionen unabhängig voneinander verwenden oder sie extern direkt an ein Mischpult oder zwei Verstärker anschließen.

Jeder Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp bietet den typischen Geddy-Sound und die Vielseitigkeit für viele verschiedene Stile.

Geddy Lee has been performing without onstage amps and speakers since the Test for Echo Tour in 1996, favoring major household appliances instead. Wanting to streamline his gear for new projects, Geddy initially partnered with Tech 21 to design a Signature SansAmp, the GED-2112. This challenging collaboration involved distilling a rackload of equipment into a single rackspace. According to Geddy, “The GED-2112 is really a continuation of my long-time approach to bass tone. A ‘deep clean’ tone coupled with the ‘edgy crunch’ I get from the SansAmp RPM now all in one box.”

The GED-2112 rackmount introduced a new framework for Parallel Pre-Amping –having two separate internal pre-amps. Following this concept, the compact SansAmp YYZ pedal adapted the architectural structure to simplify blending the two signal paths. Merging the design of the rackmount and the portability of the pedal, the SansAmp DI-2112 offers yet another new format that is designed to be equally at home on a studio desk-top as well as an amp-top.

The Drive pre-amp section is based upon the versatile SansAmp RPM, for a wide range of sonic possibilities. The Deep pre-amp section offers thick, meaty tones. Saturation goes from clean in lower settings to increased harmonics and tube-like compression in higher settings. You can use either section independently or blend them externally direct to a mixing board as well as to two amplifiers.

Each Geddy Lee Signature SansAmp offers Geddy’s core sound and the versatility for many different styles.

Für Bassisten, die keine Vorbehalte gegen die mittlerweile doch recht ausgereifte Modeling-Technologie haben, bieten einige Hersteller zumindest für bestimmte Einsatzbereiche Alternativen zu den massigen Vorbildern an. Eine davon kommt von der in diesem Metier durchaus erfahrenen Firma Tech 21 und hört auf den Namen “Sansamp VT Bass Deluxe”.

The Deluxe version of the SansAmp VT Bass features a combination of a warm, all-analog signal path and convenient digital recall. There are 6 program locations and dual inputs for two instruments to be on-line, ready to go. Create three custom tones for each input or use all six locations for a single instrument. And you can program the FX loop to engage your favorite effect each time a so-designated preset is selected. Super simple to operate, changes can easily be made on the fly –without having to refer to the owner’s manual. You just turn the knobs to a setting you like, double click on a footswitch and it’s saved in that channel. You can custom tweak and program six of your personal sounds, from vintage clean to gnarly overdrive to crushing distortion

Mit drei verschiedenen Ausgängen können Endstufen, Aufnahmepulte, PA-Mischpulte oder das aktuelle Rig gesteuert werden und verbessern somit den Sound jeder Musik. Die Regler umfassen Presence zur Definition und Anhebung der oberen Obertöne, Blend zur Kombination des Direktsignals und der SansAmp-Schaltung sowie einen aktiven EQ, der speziell für den Bass mit einer 12 dB Absenkung oder Anhebung abgestimmt ist.

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.

Frank Bello ist dafür bekannt, dass er Anthrax seinen eigenen Stil und seine energiegeladene Leidenschaft einbringt. Er schafft es irgendwie, komplexe melodische Riffs, die in diesem Genre normalerweise nicht vorkommen, mit schwindelerregender Geschwindigkeit und Genauigkeit zu verschmelzen – und das alles, während er headbangt, auf der Bühne herumtollt und ans Mikrofon stürmt, um Harmonien zu singen.

Zusätzlich zu den spezifischen Tönen, die Frank wollte, lag die Hauptpriorität darin, den Street Driver 48 einfach zu bedienen. Er wollte keine Unmengen von Knöpfen, Schaltern oder unnötigen Schnickschnack. Er wollte, dass Spieler direkt nach dem Auspacken einen großartigen Sound bekommen, egal ob es sich um Metal, R&B oder Prog-Rock handelt, ob Anfänger oder Experte, ob jung oder schon fortgeschritten. 

Frank Bello is known for bringing his own distinct style and energetic passion to Anthrax. He somehow manages to merge complex melodic riffs, not typically associated within that genre, with dizzying speed and accuracy —all while headbanging, romping around the stage, and dashing up to the mic to sing harmonies.

In addition to the specific tones Frank wanted, a major priority was to make the Street Driver 48 simple to operate. He didn’t want a zillion knobs, switches, or gratuitous bells & whistles. He wanted players to be able to get a great sound right out of the box, whether it’s for metal or R&B or prog rock, whether novice or expert, whether young or advanced in years.

Wanting to change things up a bit, we streamlined its architecture into a compact, easily portable pedal. The SansAmp PSA 2.0 offers the same 100% analog signal path for punchy, responsive, organic sounds that bring out the best in any instrument. Only the programming and memory sections are digital. It also offers the same operational simplicity, essential functionality and dizzying versatility.

In the studio, you can record direct, enhance existing tracks in mixdowns, as well as add interesting touches to any instrument. Live, the SansAmp PSA 2.0 can be used as a pre-amp direct into a power amp with guitar or bass speaker cabinets, as a “monster direct box” to a P.A. system (or both simultaneously), and as an outboard processor. Additionally, the PSA 2.0 features a Performance Mode, which turns it into a 3-channel stompbox.
