Description
Description
The Subatomic Drive channel delivers ferocious bass tones that can be blended with clean tones to create aggressive distortion.
Each channel shares a 3-band passive EQ, allowing for a wide range of tones.
It also features an FX loop and cabinet simulation for convenient post-drive effects, and an XLR DI output eliminates the need for an external DI box.
It's a highly effective tool for bassists looking for a clear, heavy distorted bass tone while retaining a natural low frequency range.
■Sub Atomic
The Sub Atomic preamp is a fully analog two-channel preamp designed for the most punchy bass tones, featuring cascaded CMOS stages with parallel processing for natural low frequencies.
It's an effective tool for reproducing distorted bass tones with clarity and rich response.
■2-channel preamp The clean channel adds warmth to the tone with the delicate compression and tube-like response unique to the CMOS stage, while the subatomic drive channel produces a sound that blends clean tone with very aggressive distortion.
Both channels share a common 3-band passive EQ, allowing you to extract the maximum tonal range from this versatile device.
■XLR & Cabinet Simulator
The XLR DI output includes a huge 8x10 analog cabinet simulation that can be turned on/off.
It also has an effects loop, so you don't need an external DI box when using post-drive effects.
