The Drive control adjusts saturation intensity, while the Blend knob allows you to mix your clean and overdriven signals for the perfect balance of punch and aggression.
4-Band EQ with Grunt and Attack Controls
The comprehensive EQ section provides precision tonal sculpting across the frequency spectrum. The Grunt switch modifies low-frequency saturation character for tighter or more expansive bottom end, while the Attack switch shapes high-frequency aggression, allowing you to dial in everything from smooth warmth to cutting presence.

Parallel and Direct outputs provide exceptional routing flexibility for modern bass rigs. The Parallel output maintains your full signal for amplifier connection, while the balanced Direct output sends a pristine signal to PA systems, mixing consoles, or recording interfaces, making it an essential tool for any performance or studio setup.
