Origin Effects BassRig 64 Black Panel

Il BassRig 64 Black Panel di Origin Effect è un preamp per basso basato sugli storici amplificatori Fender Showman e Bassman di metà anni 60. Il pedale riproduce l'intero circuito di questi amplificatori in miniatura abbinandoli ad un cabinet simulator delle storiche 2x15 Fender, uno dei sound per basso più usati nella black music e nel rock'n roll. La manopola Blend aggiunge e miscela il segnale pulito per non andare a perdere basse nel sound complessivo fornendo un tono stupendo. 

Calore e grinta da vendere per un preamp che non può mancare nell'arsenale di ogni bassista

INSTR - Plug in your bass or other instrument.

AMP - Connect to amp or power amp.

DI OUT - Connect to your mixer or recording interface.

9VDC - Insert 9VDC 2.1mm centre-negative power supply (minimum 150mA).

2. MATCH THE CONTROLS - Match the controls

to the image here as a starting point for setting up your tone.

3. SET THE AMP OUT EQ

HORN CUT - For cabs equipped with a tweeter, set the HORN CUT switch to 2K or 4K to give a smooth overdrive tone and protect your tweeter. For cabs without tweeters, leave this switch in the off (centre) position. Use the LF and HF trimmers to fine tune the pedal’s voicing to suit your amp and cab.

LF - This control can reduce boominess in large cabs or fatten up smaller cabs.

HF - This control can add some upper-mid presence or tame the top end when using a hi-fi, modern amplifier.

4. SHAPE YOUR VOICE - The pre-drive 3-band

tone stack affects the frequency response and character of the overdrive.

TREBLE - Turn clockwise for a brighter tone and more aggressive overdrive. Turn counterclockwise for a smoother sound.

MIDDLE - Turn clockwise for a warmer tone and rich overdrive. Turn counterclockwise for a scooped tone and extra clarity.

BASS - Turn clockwise for a deep low end. Turn counterclockwise for a thinner, more percussive sound. Tip: For very overdriven sounds, lower BASS settings will improve tightness and definition.

BRIGHT/FAT - BRIGHT adds extra high frequencies in the preamp at lower DRIVE settings. FAT reconfigures the circuit from Showman  to Bassman  spec. This can add warmth and depth to the sound. As the DRIVE increases, FAT mode will begin to sound out-of-control - in a good way!

BLK/TWD - The BLK setting is a Fender  “Black Panel” circuit with a controlled, scooped tone. TWD selects a “Tweed” spec for more gain and mids.

5. DIAL IN YOUR OVERDRIVE GAIN - Turn up and

go from clean to cranked, much like turning up a classic non-master-volume amp.

6. BLEND IN YOUR DRIVE BLEND - Turn counter

clockwise to add in some of your bass guitar’s clean signal. This can help preserve clarity when using overdriven sounds.

DI OUT - This balanced XLR output gives you an analogue simulation of an 8x10 bass cabinet, direct to a PA or recording interface.

DI CAB SIM switch - In the FX position, the cabinet simulator is active only when the pedal is engaged. In the FX+BYP position, the cabinet simulator is always active.

DI GROUND switch - Select GND if only using the DI OUT. Select LIFT to eliminate ground loop hum when using both outputs.
