Trace Elliot Bass Overdrive: Rich soft clipper for electric bass
The Trace Elliot Overdrive extends the bass signal and rich distortion for your woofer, ranging from subtle saturation to aggressive drive sounds. The asymmetrical soft clipping circuit delivers a warm, vintage tube character that blends effortlessly into any Mix. Thanks to the dry Out and integrated blend control, the distorted signal can be combined with the dry bass signal or sent to a parallel effects or amplifier chain, allowing controlled routings. With robust construction, internal 18V signal processing for additional headroom and a user interface that has been reduced to intuitive controls, the Trace Elliot Overdrive is a versatile tool for stage, studio and rehearsal room, making it ideal for bassists who want to expand their sound with dynamic vintage drive.
