Chunk Systems Octavius Squeezer Analog Bass Synth Pedal Red

PriceBot — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:00:00 +0000

The Chunk Systems Octavius Squeezer is an analog synth pedal that is designed specifically for bass guitar.

The Octavius Squeezer bass pedal offers true analog reconfigurable signal path technology, true bypass switching, and a comprehensive array of analog synth, octaver, fuzz, envelope filter, and other effects all driven by a convenient digital preset system.

With all this plus tuner and metronome—in a size that fits in your gig bag—this is one bass pedal you can't afford to be without.

The Octavius Squeezer bass synth pedal includes a dedicated filter circuit and fuzz circuit first bred in its predecessors.

A digital pitch tracking stage tracks the notes you play right down to the bottom of your bass guitar's range.

The tracking stage also drives an analog synthesizer, which can produce various waveforms at the same pitch as your input, 1 octave down, or 1 or even 2 octaves up.

All of this output can be patched, mixed, and configured in a variety of ways to give an enormous array of available effects.

Use the effect control to switch between the 50 user-editable presets that can be stored in the Octavius Squeezer pedal's onboard memory.

Adjust any of the presets on-the-fly with a twist of the param knob.

See the current effect and parameter settings clearly displayed on Octavius Squeezer's backlit LCD.

Use the 2 user-assignable footswitches to bypass, tap-tempo, and switch effects on the fly.

Save and load additional presets to an SD card (like the one in your digital camera) using the onboard card reader, and use it to upgrade Octavius's firmware as new versions become available.

Hao Rust Ride Bass Overdrive Pedal

PriceBot — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:00:00 +0000

The Rust Ride Overdrive Pedal is HAO's first and only bass driver unit.

Rust Ride was born to give bass players a blistering overdrive without losing low-end and note clarity.

With a preset 3-position EQ switch (Normal, Bright, Warm), the Rust Ride bass stompbox offers a lot of tonal options.

Also, Passive and Active inputs allow you to operate the Rust Ride bass overdrive with any type of bass pickups while individual Direct and Effect outputs allow a routing of clean bass tone to a tuner P.A., or a second amplifier for blending dry and effect signals.

Using Rust Ride with a guitar reveals the whole new dimension of the pedal with tight low-end and high-octane overdrive/distortion.

Chunk Systems Brown Dog Gated Bass Fuzz Pedal

PriceBot — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:00:00 +0000

The Brown Dog Bass Fuzz Pedal enables you to produce rampaging waves of meat with your bass guitar while still keeping your basslines tight and letting the character of your instrument's tone shine through.

With two fuzz modes (hard and soft), a mixing stage and a unique gating circuit the Brown Dog is a gated stompbox that gives you a wide range of fuzzy and synthy bass tones.

Based on the highly acclaimed FZ002 gated bass fuzz, Chunk Systems Brown Dog adds soft mode and features easier to use mixer controls.

With true bypass and only the best quality analogue electronics, the Brown Dog is perfect for all you clean sound freaks.

Use the special envelope connector in conjunction with the Agent 00Funk Mark II for synth bass that will really freak you out!

In addition to the high-quality metal bypass switch, the Brown Dog has four knobs and a switch: The dirty level controls the volume of the signal coming from the Brown Dog's fuzz circuit in the output mix.

To make the fuzz louder, turn it up.

To make the fuzz quieter, turn it down.

The clean level controls the volume of the original input signal in the output mix.

The Brown Dog mixes the dirty signal coming from its fuzz circuit with the original input signal so you can determine exactly how much fuzz you want and keep the tone of your instrument.

The gate control governs how loud the input signal must be for a fuzz tone to be produced.

Especially in hard mode, you can use this gating effect to prevent hum from your pickups and the noise of your fingers on the strings from being amplified by the fuzz circuit.

You can also ensure that your notes start and end cleanly, so your bass line remains clear even though you have massive amounts of fuzz applied.

The drive control alters the character of the fuzz produced by controlling how hard the fuzz circuit is driven.

Driving the fuzz harder squares off your sound more and makes it sound harsher.

In hard mode with maximum drive, you can get synth-like square wave tones.

In soft mode, the drive control will alter the volume of the fuzz signal and you may find you need to compensate with the dirty level control.

Use the mode switch to switch between soft and hard fuzz, which have different characters.

The hard fuzz produces very square-edged acidic tones.

Use it for really hardcore metal sounds or turn up the gate for some great synth tones.

The soft mode produces a classic warm bass fuzz.

Chunk Systems Agent Funk Mark II Envelope Filter Pedal

PriceBot — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:00:00 +0000

The Agent 00Funk Mark II (pronounced "agent double O funk mark two") is an envelope filter pedal that turns bass guitars and other electric instruments into instant funky squelching fatness.

The Agent 00Funk Mark II features a highly resonant lowpass filter that sweeps up or down with every note you play giving you a super-punchy automatic wah tone.

Based on the highly acclaimed original Agent 00Funk, the Mark II stompbox squeezes extra funk into a more convenient, easier to use package.

Now with true bypass and only the best quality analogue electronics, the Agent 00Funk Mark II is perfect effect pedal for all you clean sound freaks.

For maximum squelch, the new envelope input allows you to use a clean envelope prior to fuzz or distortion.

Plug the Chunk Systems Brown Dog gated bass fuzz pedal straight in to create some truly amazing synth tones.

Controls In addition to the high-quality metal bypass switch, the Agent 00Funk Mark II has four knobs and a switch: The pitch control determines the filter frequency when the input is silent.

You use it to determine the overall pitch of the filter effect.

Turning it lower will tend to give you fatter, bassier tones while higher settings will affect only the higher end of your sound.

The smoothness control determines how quickly the filter sweeps in response to changes in input level.

If you set it low, the filter will make large, jerky jumps on each note.

This tends to sound squidgy and warbles a little as the filter responds to individual audio cycles.

If you set it high, the filter makes smaller, slower movements.

Adjusting the sweep control changes how wide the filter sweeps are.

When you set it low, the filter sweeps over a narrow range and is not very responsive to the dynamics of your playing.

When you set it high, the filter sweeps over a wider range and the dynamics of your playing will have a greater affect.

The squelch control determines how extreme the filtering effect is by adjusting the resonance of the filter.

As you turn it higher, the filter has a higher gain at the filter frequency and accentuates those frequencies more, making a "squelchier" sound.

The switch determines the direction of the filter sweep.

In up mode the filter starts low and sweeps up to higher frequencies.

This can add a lot of punch to the start of each note as the filter sweeps over the fundamental frequency.

In down mode, the filter starts high and sweeps lower, which gives a different type of sound in which the note tends to get swallowed in the middle but returns at the end.

Ibanez SB7 Synthesizer Bass Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Nano Bassballs Envelope Filter Bass Effects Pedal

PriceBot — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 05:00:00 +0000

The Electro Harmonix Nano Bassballs Twin Envelope Filter Effects Pedal has everything you loved about the original Bassballs in a pocket size.

The human vocal-like sound of its two sweeping filters gives bass a strong presence under leads, or a commanding quality when out front.

The resonant frequencies are engineered solidly into the full range of the bass guitar's strongest harmonics.

Bassballs will respond to every bass note.

The sweep is widely variable, and harmonic enrichment is available with the distortion switch.

The Nano Bassballs comes in a small, die-cast case with rounded corners, saving valuable pedalboard space.

The footswitch selects your original signal or the filtered signal as the Bassballs output.

The range of the filters upward sweep in pitch is set by the interaction of instrument volume and the sensitivity control.

Both stronger attacks and higher (clockwise) control settings increase the sweep range.

Low volume and low sensitivity settings will create little or no sweep, and Bassballs will only provide a small boost in its lowest frequencies.

In its upward position, the fuzz switch introduces additional harmonic enrichment that accentuates the filters action.

The sensitivity pot also serves as a volume control for the fuzz, also increasing in the clockwise direction.
