Versatile sound shaping with preamp modes, parallel mix & cabsim
At the heart of the Bass Master is a three-stage preamp with Clean, Comp and Hot modes, which can be selected directly via a switch. Whether you prefer a neutral signal with maximum transparency, want to refine your tone with targeted compression or are into authentic tube saturation and harmonic overtones - the Bass Master delivers the right sound for your style. An additional parallel signal path including a low-pass filter allows the separate mixing of a sub-range, which gives the signal even more foundation and punch. The 4-band tone control with semi-parametric mids enables precise fine-tuning across the entire frequency spectrum. Additional sound shaping is provided by the integrated, fully analog speaker simulation located at the end of the signal chain. Various speaker configurations can be simulated here - from 1x15 to 4x10 to the classic 8x10 stack. In addition to the cabinet size of the emulated speaker, the sound behavior of the speakers (Warm, Bright or Modern), the resonance of the bass reflex port and the proportion of a simulated tweeter can also be controlled. The Bass Master therefore offers a remarkable variety of sound profiles, covering everything from a rich vintage foundation to a modern, articulated top end.
