Description

This will blow away all your bass sounds. The ultimate bass fuzz!

From this moment on, the definition of bass fuzz will be completely rewritten.

BASS WAR is packed with what Death By Audio calls "the ultimate fuzz bass." It takes the iconic tone of the legendary Fuzz War and adds a grind, massive tone sweep, and earth-shattering volume. It's powerful, loud, and wide-ranging, so powerful it'll blow your mind. You can even increase the resolution with the MIX knob.

Once you have BASS WAR, all you need to do is find a time machine and re-record all your old bass parts.


Bass War started as an idea to create an even better version of Fuzz War.

It starts with a classic circuit, but the final sound is bursting with the evil harmonics that only Deathby can deliver. With phenomenal gain, a vast tone sweep, and a MIX control, each function has been meticulously designed to embody what makes this the ultimate bass fuzz. This is not just your average bass drive. With more volume, more tone, and more fuzz, it will easily blow the minds of bassists who say, "I don't care about fuzz!"

The control range is vastly expanded beyond the standard range, and everything is super heavy. Turning the FUZZ knob takes you from dirty, filthy drive, smooth grind, to ultra-thick distortion at 12 o'clock, and then to total destruction and overloaded madness at maximum. The TONE knob functions as a notch filter, reshaping the overall fuzz sound. You'll feel like you have 100 different fuzz pedals at your fingertips. By combining the crazy volume and MIX knob, you can add wild drive to your bass while maintaining the floor-shaking low end perfectly.

And guitarists looking for a completely new and radical tone should pay attention! With even more low frequencies and gain than the legendary Fuzz War, it's ready to completely destroy your signal. It's a great match for down-tuned guitars, multi-string guitars, and baritones. Try out all the possibilities.
