Great sound does not have to come with a complicated user interface. On the contrary, BAS 1 is fairly simple to operate. For instance, the preamp section holds only one control – GAIN!
An LED meter helps you to dial in the best Input Gain level for the preamp.
Next up is the compressor section. This is our version of the legendary Urei 1176LN – but with increased attack time in order to preserve the dynamics of your bass guitar signals perfectly.
Further, we have designed it to run in parallel with the original signal in order to maintain the integrity of your signal and its unique and characteristic dynamics.
The parallel compression design gives your sound ‘body’ and ‘foundation’ in a way that an equalizer could never do.
We have pre-set the Attack and Release time inside the unit – again specifically with bass signals in mind. All you need to do is to dial in the Threshold and Output/Blend settings.
This is one killer effect for sure.
Finally, we have added a two-band parametric equalizer and a fixed Bass control that lets you sculpt and fine-tune the bass sounds that dreams are made of!
A Master Volume at the very end of the signal chain and a MUTE function completes BAS1.
