[Product Description]
In music, sometimes the bass tone can stand out or not blend well, especially with intense sounds. To distort the bass sound—without heavy fuzz distortion, but within a clean bass tone range—using a lightly gain-driven overdrive pedal is important to match the band sound. Based on Animals Pedal's popular overdrive pedal, SURFING BEAR OVERDRIVE, and with the help of the genius effect builder BJF, we have created an exquisite bass overdrive, the SURFING POLAR BEAR BASS OVERDRIVE MOD BY BJF. It not only creates a distorted sound reminiscent of classic 60s and 70s bass amps but is also effective when modern electric basses play in unison with rhythm guitars to produce doubling effects. It responds highly to playing dynamics, allowing you to switch between clean and overdrive easily. Soft playing produces a clean sound, while hard playing results in overdrive. The tone features a strong core that clearly conveys the important pitch and texture of distortion, blending beautifully with the overall sound. It has a high-quality feel that makes you want to keep it on all the time, and it accurately expresses the nuances of your bass playing. ● Controls VOL: Adjusts overall volume. DRIVE: Adjusts the amount of distortion. TONE: Adjusts the tone, shaping the key frequency range of the bass sound, useful for making the bass stand out in an ensemble. The SURFING POLAR BEAR BASS OVERDRIVE MOD BY BJF uses true bypass footswitches and is powered by a 9V battery or a standard center-negative DC 9V adapter. ● Specifications Power consumption: 4mA Input impedance: 330K Output impedance: 50K *When using a battery, please unplug the input jack when storing the effect pedal to conserve battery life. Also, remove the battery if not used for a long period. This pedal, based on the popular SURFING BEAR OVERDRIVE from Animals Pedal and refined with BJF's expertise, is a superb bass overdrive. It responds highly to playing dynamics and allows you to switch between clean and overdrive at your fingertips, producing a clean sound with gentle play and overdrive with hard play.
