It’s a sound that’s graced guitarists for many years, and famously formed the secret sonic sauce for AC/DC. More and more bassists began using the Schaffer circuit to enhance their performance, and now SoloDallas have fine-tuned the pedal specifically for the low frequencies. It gives you an immediate boost to your mid ranges and volume when engaged, and can turn even the weediest output amplifier into a roaring beast. It’s perfect for highlighting solo sections to let you stand above the mix, or leave it switched on for sound that doesn’t compromise.
Studio quality control
It’s a colossal sonic tonic. The Schaffer Replica BASS-X can provide such an enormous impact to your tone, SoloDallas have provided three control dials so you can tune it to your liking. The gain knob is your key to the sought-after Schaffer sound. It controls their signature clipping circuit, which will bump up the lower mids to imbue your bass with harmonically rich muscle and growl. Dial to the max for ferocious intensity.
A Boost preamp forms the second key ingredient to this pedals magic. Fully engaged, boost provides an incredible 31db increase, enough to make you heard over any ensemble. It’s a completely analogue signal boost so it will only add to the fullness of your signal sent to the amp. It’s commonly believed that louder is better, the BASS-X will certainly persuade you it’s true.
Limiter allows you to smooth and flatten out the sounds produced by the BASS-X. It controls the amount of signal entering the circuitry, allowing excellent string separation and letting the pedal shine with its abundant harmonics. Use the limiter to adjust the output until you find the sweet spot you desire, and then let loose.
