Soundblox Multiwave Bass Distortion The Soundblox Multiwave Bass Distortion features the same multi-band process that made the original Multiwave guitar pedal so popular,
but this time, the Source Audio engineers adapted the process to compliment the unique frequency range of the bass guitar. Multi-band processing divides
a signal into multiple bands then distorts them individually, giving musicians unprecedented levels of sound clarity and note articulation. Bassists can
effectively combine complex chords and intervals with distorted tones - the Multiwave eliminates the mush and allows each note to ring clear and true.
Users have access to 23 distinct and modern sounding distortions that go far beyond traditional sounds. They range from "normal", for a somewhat traditional
distortion curve, to extreme "foldback" and "octave" settings for more aggressive and synth-like tones. Each distortion type is further customizable via the
drive control, and separate clean and distorted level knobs. This advanced sound control alleviates the tendency for low-end reduction associated with most bass distortion units.
The Multiwave Bass is also compatible with the Hot Hand® motion controller, adding even more expressive possibilities.
Diverse sound palette - featuring 21 varieties of our distortion algorithm.
Multiband processing - signal is split into multiple bands and distorted individually for unprecedented sound clarity.
Modern design - A thoughtfully designed box which features rugged construction and sleek looks.
State-of-the-art DSP - Our proprietary 56-bit Digital Signal Processor, the SA601, and crystal clear 24-bit converters.

T-Rex Engineering Sweeper What would the history of music sound like with no chorus on the bass? Frankly, it's hard to imagine.
Without that gorgeous sweep that lifts the bass from its old role as a tuned kick drum to a vibrant, colourful instrument
that often defines the sonic texture of a song, a lot of music simply wouldn't be. Without the chorus bass, there'd be no funk,
no modern pop ballads, certainly no fusion jazz, not much heavy metal, and a lot less rock. Without the chorus bass, great music just wouldn't be as great.
That's why T-Rex Engineering has created The Sweeper - a stunning chorus pedal for the bass that revives the sound of the chorus and gives bassists
working in all styles of music a new tool for delivering classic bottom end.
The Sweeper isn't especially complicated, or packed with all sorts of extra features.
It's a simple, intuitively designed pedal that does just one job - producing an exquisite chorus effect for the bass - better than many other pedals on the market.
The secret to The Sweeper is its tone. Designed exclusively for the bass, this pedal gives you a gorgeous chorus effect no matter what depth or rate you set.
There's not a frequency wasted on tone that might work for a guitar - but not for the bottom you have to deliver.
Input Level: allows for setting the proper gain level from your bass - with clip indicator. Knob recesses into chassis after being set.
Volume: controls the overall output of the Sweeper
Depth: controls the amount of chorus effect.
Rate: controls the speed of the sweep.
Power: single 9 volt battery or AC adapter (optional)

T-Rex Engineering Squeezer The T-Rex Engineering Squeezer is a tube-driven compressor for studio, guitar and bass use. It smoothens out your sound and keeps you right where you want to be in the mix - while enhancing your sound with rich tube warmth. And it naturally gives you complete control of all essential parameters, letting you craft a compression that's all your own.
Bass players tend to get buried in the mix - and it's not just because guitarists are always turning up the volume! Your bass has a low frequency range, which makes it difficult
for the human ear to distinguish in the first place. And the techniques bass players use - from atmospheric open-string drones to popping and slapping - cover a wider dynamic range
than almost any other instrument in your band. Squeezer evens your dynamics out, making your lines come through at the right level, no matter how you're playing.
Compressors can be placed in the beginning or in the end of the pedal chain. For long sustain, the compressor should be placed after the distortion pedals.
Gain: is what we call a 'makeup' gain. With a dynamic range of -10dB up to +20db, the Gain has more than enough headroom to give your output signal classic tube growl and bite.
Level: sets the final output volume, so you can best match your instrument to the effect. For example, if you have a vintage instrument with low output pickups, you'll probably
set the Level high, for every bit of tone to come through. Typically, you would set level to maximum position (unity gain)
Comp: sets the compression ratio on the Squeezer. Higher ratios will keep you at the front of the mix, while lower ratios will keep more of your natural dynamics. The Squeezer can deliver ratios from 1:1 right up to a crushing 10:1
Threshold: is where the compressor kicks in on a signal. The higher the threshold, the more original input signal gets let through.
Attack: is how quickly the compressor reacts. Longer attack times mean more natural signal before the compressor starts to work.
Release: is how long the compressor takes to let the signal go back to its normal level. The compressor will try to keep a constant output signal, which is what gives you the extra sustain on your instrument.
Switches: Boost On/Off, Effect On/Off
Power: 9 volt battery operation or DC adapter (included)
