SIMPLIFIER BASS STATION is the bassist's "Swiss Army Knife". It offers everything you've ever needed to get the perfect sound in a gigging PA or record amazing bass tones in the studio, without the guilty conscience of having to compromise. And all in a very compact design that fits just as well in your pedalboard as it does on your desk, and most importantly, you can take it with you anywhere.
A versatile preamplifier
The preamp is based on the topology of the famous Ampeg SVT. This amplifier stands out for its sonic personality, versatility and perfect articulation. There is a 3-band flexible EQ with a gain of +/- 15 dB and a selectable mid-range frequency of 400 / 900 / 1500 Hz. At most gain settings the sound is tight and clean, but with higher excitation it will grunt and growl like a real Ampeg SVT.
Parallel signal
The signal at the SIMPLIFIER BASS STATION input is split for a parallel line that bypasses the preamp and includes a switchable low pass filter (low pass filter 100 Hz / Off / 500 Hz). With the signal treated in this way, you can then build up the preamp considerably, while still retaining the natural and very important dynamics of the lower frequencies. The parallel signal can also be sent out via the symmetrical XLR output of DI PARALLEL.
Speaker simulation
The selection of speakers was chosen with the emulation of the amplifier itself in mind, so you have a classic 8x10" "fridge" for tight and punchy bass, a 1x15" open box characterised by creamier mids and powerful bass, or thirdly a 4x10" open box for an even wider frequency response. The simulation is modelled using the award-winning Omnicabsim® DSM Noisemaker method.
The basic setup can be further modified by switching the frequency coloration of the speakers (SPEAKER COLOR) Warm / Bright / Modern. In this way, the simulation takes into account the different materials and shape of the woofers, characteristics that affect the dynamics and response of the midrange.
Last but not least, using the RESONANCE and MIC POSITION controls, you can adjust the desired amount of high frequencies in combination with the resonance of the box itself.
Dual Effects Loop
SIMPLIFIER BASS STATION comes with a unique solution, which includes two effect loops. If you like parallel signal routing within the preamp section, you can use the two effect loops in a similar way. you simply have the option to use different effects on the main preamp and different ones on the parallel signal chain. For example, try dynamic effects like compressor for the parallel signal and modulation (chorus) on the preamp, you can experiment with effects like delay, or even use the volume pedal to control the ratio of the parallel signal in real time. Use your imagination to get bass tones you've never heard before!
Connectivity
The asymmetrical ¼ jack instrument input can be customized with the ACTIVE/PASSIVE switch for instruments with passive or active electronics, and sent to the traditional ¼ jack output after preamplification, or to the symmetrical XLR (DI) main or parallel output with GROUND/LIFT ground loop filtering. You'll use the headphone output when you're practicing, and the AUX input will come in handy when you want to play backing tracks from your phone.
