The Strymon Deco is not so much your typical effects pedal, but rather a tape simulation machine in a box, adding lush tape saturation and a "widening" effect to your sound. The Deco’s tape saturation smooths out your sound with tape-style compression, while the doubletracker feature thickens up your tone with subtle tape-driven transparent overdrive.

Einige Pedale aus der Effektschmiede Way Huge werden sehr gerne von Bassisten verwendet und das, obwohl sie nicht speziell für die Verwendung mit den dicken Drähten konzipiert wurden. Besonders der Verzerrer Pork Loin erfreut sich bei Tieftönern großer Beliebtheit und hat sich in den letzten Jahren auf vielen Bass-Pedalboards etablieren können. Dieser Umstand ist scheinbar auch Jeorge Tripps, dem Mastermind hinter Way Huge, nicht entgangen, das Portfolio von Way Huge wurde nämlich im Frühjahr 2018 um ein brandneues Overdrive-Pedal ergänzt, das speziell für die Verwendung mit E-Bass entwickelt wurde. Das erste exklusive Bass-Pedal aus dem Hause hört auf den Namen Pork & Pickle und bietet im Wesentlichen die Sounds des Pork Loin und des Russian Pickle Fuzz in einem Gerät.

Now in a Way Huge Smalls housing, the Pork & Pickle Bass Overdrive & Fuzz serves up a perfectly balanced diet of gnarly tones for bass players who like to get down and dirty.

Das Empress Effects Bass ParaEq ist ein hochwertiges analoges parametrisches Equalizer- und Boost-Pedal, das speziell für Bassisten entwickelt wurde, die präzise Klangkontrolle suchen. Es verfügt über drei vollständig einstellbare parametrische EQ-Bänder mit variabler Q und ermöglicht eine Anhebung oder Absenkung von ±15 dB. Das Pedal beinhaltet Hochpass-, Tiefpass-, Tiefen- und Höhen-Shelving-Filter, die umfassende Frequenzformungsmöglichkeiten bieten. Ein fußschaltbarer Boost bietet bis zu 30 dB sauberen Gain, und das Pedal arbeitet intern mit 27V für außergewöhnlichen Headroom. Weitere Funktionen sind ein wählbarer 10MΩ Hi-Z-Eingang für Piezo-Tonabnehmer und ein automatisch erkennender symmetrischer Ausgang, was es sowohl für Live- als auch Studioanwendungen geeignet macht.

The Empress Bass ParaEq is the only parametric EQ pedal on the market built from the ground up for bass. It gives players studio-grade tone shaping in a compact pedal format that is purpose-built for low-end instruments, not just adapted from guitar gear.

Following the success of our Bass Compressor—and after hearing from countless players who were already using the ParaEq MKII Deluxe on bass—we knew it was time to give bassists more than a “good enough” EQ. The Bass ParaEq delivers the same transparent, tone-sweetening power that made the Deluxe a favourite, but with frequency ranges, filters, and features tailored specifically for bass.

With a dynamic low shelf, bass-tuned EQ bands, a Hi-Z input for upright players, and an auto-detecting balanced output, it’s built to give bassists the control they’ve always deserved—on stage, in the studio, everywhere.

The Watt was born from a collaboration with the legendary Mike Watt, who asked if I could make a single box that combined the two main pedals he was gigging with, Finally and Single Slice. The Watt is the result, a compact box providing a tube preamp, adjustable frequency high-pass filter (HPF), and compressor, with both a 1/4″ and XLR output, both of which are bypassable for flexible signal routing.

The Watt comes with a 12AT7 (ECC81) tube and is equipped with an Unagi Magnets E4305 D.I. transformer.

Neptunium is, as its name implies, based on the Nobelium preamp, which is in turn based on the incredible Noble preamp. The key feature of Nobelium is the XLR D.I. output, which only uses one tube, so I was asked if it would be possible to squeeze just that part into a much smaller enclosure. The result is Neptunium.

Neptunium is a great-sounding, simple to use tube preamp with a D.I. output for going straight to front of house or a recording interface. It features a two-band tonestack based on the classic Fender/Marshall/Vox tonestack. Both controls are boost-only, so a “flat” response is achieved with both controls all the way off.

One way in which Neptunium differs from the Noble preamp is in volume controls; the volume control on the face affects the 1/4″ output, but rather than make the XLR output a fixed level, a separate volume control affecting the XLR output was added to the side of the pedal next to the XLR jack above the ground lift switch.

Greenhouse ist ein cleveres Pedal, das ich entwickelt habe, um eine einfache Aufgabe zu erfüllen – nämlich eine röhrengepufferte FX-Loop bereitzustellen –, aber ich habe festgestellt, dass es noch viel mehr kann. Ohne ein Effektgerät in der Schleife wirkt Greenhouse allein bereits als eine Art „Tone Sweetener“ oder Clean Boost mit Röhrensound. Ausgestattet mit einer 12AT7-Röhre, die mit hoher Spannung betrieben wird, kannst du deutlich über Unity Gain hinausgehen, um deinen Verstärker anzutreiben oder Greenhouse mit einem anderen Pedal zu kombinieren und ordentlich Dreck ins Signal zu bringen.

Ich wollte dieses Pedal ursprünglich hauptsächlich für Modulationseffekte verwenden – Geräte, deren Bedienung ich liebte, denen aber oft etwas Wärme fehlte. Greenhouse liefert diese Wärme im Überfluss. Eine weitere schöne Anwendung, die ich entdeckt habe, ist der Einsatz mit Overdrive- oder Distortion-Pedalen. Mit einem Zerrpedal im FX-Loop von Greenhouse kannst du die Lautstärke aufdrehen und die Greenhouse-Röhre in die Sättigung treiben, um das Maximum aus deinem Zerrsound herauszuholen. Anschließend kannst du die Lautstärke über den Greenhouse-Volume-Regler wieder auf ein praxisgerechtes Level herunterdrehen – ohne den Charakter des übersteuerten Sounds zu verlieren.

Greenhouse is a neat pedal that I designed to do a simple task, namely a tube-buffered FX loop, but I’ve found it can do a lot more than that. With nothing in the loop, Greenhouse by itself acts as a rich tube “tone sweetener” or clean boost. Equipped with a 12AT7 running at high voltage, you’re able to get well above unity gain to push your amplifier or stack with another pedal to push some dirt around.

I personally wanted this pedal mostly to use with modulation pedals, things that I loved the operation of but wanted more warmth from. And while Greenhouse delivers that in spades, another beautiful use I’ve found for it is with drive/distortion pedals. With a dirt pedal in Greenhouse’s FX loop you’re able to crank the volume and push Greenhouse’s tube into overdrive, getting the most out of your dirt pedal, then use Greenhouse’s volume control to dial the volume back to a usable level without losing any tone from your overdriven sound.

The Underground Accelerator is the successor to both Particle Accelerator and London Underground.

Neither were perfect, but both had strengths that the other didn’t so, Underground Accelerator takes the best of both into one glorious preamp. It follows the same general structure of the London Underground, letting it get a little more grit than Particle Accelerator, but still keeping the deep low end that London Underground lacked.

It sounds great as a clean boost or mild overdrive on guitar, but bass is where it really sings, providing the rich bottom end missing in so many bass pedals.

*The newest version of the Underground Accelerator has an EQ bypass switch. Note that the main purpose of the EQ Bypass is to boost the gain of the pedal, and bypassing the EQ will produce approximately +30dB more gain. Passive EQs like the one used in Underground Accelerator are inherently lossy, so the bypass was added for those that want more gain and don’t need the use of the EQ. If you simply want a flat response without the gain boost, you can set Treble and Bass to minimum and Mids to maximum.
