*YES, THE TITLE IS JUST TO GET ATTENTION*
  Initially I did this project thinking of the hx one as the brain and a joker on the pedalboard, as I didn't know that it only supported one effect at a time.  After learning about this, he started a series of projects with the aim of thinking about how incredible it would be for Line6 to launch a pedal that combined the features of the hx one and the ampero mini or tc plethora x3.  How incredible would it be to have a multi-effects the size of the hx one, or smaller if possible, that had the Helix family library, send return at the sacrifice of stereo capacity, without splitting, and with the capacity for more than one effect at a time .  Using this example, which was designed to play in churches, catering to different musical genres, British/soft/ambient rock, gospel, groove, etc.  In this case, the core of the tone would be the tone hammer, the microsynth would be for the big choruses of songs ala Bethel/elevation etc. and instead of the hx one, imagine a multi-effect with the characteristics I mentioned before.  Versatility, practicality and lightness in one board. Of course, without mentioning, a device of this size would probably have a price between the hx one and the pod go.  For a Brazilian like me, this is great, because by planning an objective setup, it would be possible to find equipment with a high quality like the line6, but with a perfect cost-benefit ratio.

Why does hx one only support one effect at a time?

Der TC Electronic PolyTune 2 Pedal Tuner ist ein absolutes Must Have für jeden Gitarristen. Mithilfe der polyphonen Tuning-Engine lassen sich alle Saiten der E-Gitarre gleichzeitig und präzise stimmen. Insbesondere Gitarren mit Tremolo-System sind mittels der polyphonen Funktion leichter zu kontrollieren: Das Spannungsverhältnis aller Saiten zueinander wird sichtbar und die Beeinflussung der übrigen Saiten, wenn man eine Saite stimmt. Darüber hinaus stehen ein klassischer Einzelton-Modus mit Nadelanezeige und ein extrem exakter Stroboskop-Modus mit +/- 1 cent Genauigkeit zur Verfügung. Auch Freunde von Drop- und Open-Tunings kommen mit den passenden Einstellungen auf ihre Kosten. Dank der extrem hellen und großen LED-Anzeige ist der TC Polytune 2 auch bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen perfekt ablesbar. Als Extra bietet der TC Electronic Polytune 2 außerdem einen 9V-Ausgang zur Stromversorgung weiterer Effektgeräte auf dem Pedalboard.

The TC Electronic PolyTune 2 pedal tuner is an absolute must-have for every guitarist. With the help of the polyphonic tuning engine, all strings of the electric guitar can be tuned simultaneously and precisely. Guitars with a tremolo system in particular are easier to control using the polyphonic function: The tension ratio of all strings to each other becomes visible and the influence on the other strings when one string is tuned. In addition, a classic single-note mode with needle display and an extremely precise strobe mode with +/- 1 cent accuracy are available. Friends of drop and open tunings will also get their money's worth with the appropriate settings. Thanks to the extremely bright and large LED display, the TC Polytune 2 is perfectly legible even in poor lighting conditions. As an extra, the TC Electronic Polytune 2 also offers a 9V output for powering other effects devices on the pedalboard.

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.

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.

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

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.

Mit dem DJ14 Graphik Equalizer lässt sich das Gitarrensignal wirklich genau
zurechtschneidern, wer seinem Amp noch mehr Distortion entlocken will (und z.B. einen
voreingestellten Solosound benötigt), kann das Signal noch mit dem Levelregler boosten.
Die umgekehrte Variante funktioniert auch bestens. Mit dem Equalizer wird ein klarer
(meist in den Mitten etwas abgesenkter - Bässe und Höhen anheben) Rhythmussound
eingestellt, der dann durch Absenken des Levelreglers dem aufgedrehten Amp schöne
Clean-Sounds entlockt. Praktisch ein zweiter Kanal mit Klangregelung für den geliebten,
aber etwas unflexiblen Ein-Kanal-Verstärker!
