The Radial Engineering Bassbone OD Bass Preamp With Overdrive is an incredibly versatile and powerful bass command center designed for both live performance and studio recording. This robust pedal allows bassists to seamlessly connect and switch between two different basses, making on-stage instrument changes smooth and effortless.
Each channel features independent level controls to perfectly balance your instruments, ensuring consistent output. A highly effective three-band EQ is provided for each channel, allowing you to meticulously sculpt the tone for each bass to match your amplifier or desired sound. This powerful EQ enables dramatic tonal shifts, letting you emulate different bass types from a single instrument.
A standout feature of the Bassbone OD is its integrated overdrive circuit. This dedicated section provides a rich, natural bass distortion with controls for Drive, Tone, and a Blend knob to mix the distorted signal with your clean tone, preserving low-end clarity. Engage the overdrive with a dedicated footswitch for expressive solos or adding grit to your rhythm parts.
Further enhancing its stage utility, a second footswitch activates a power booster for soloing, providing an extra kick when you need to cut through the mix. This footswitch also doubles as an engagement for the built-in effects loop, allowing you to integrate your favorite pedals into your signal chain with ease.
The Bassbone OD's highly acclaimed audio circuit utilizes full-sized discrete Class-A electronics, ensuring optimal signal flow and delivering the true sound of your bass to your amp with minimal distortion or artifact. Connectivity options are comprehensive:
- A ¼" instrument output for your stage amplifier.
- A separate, always-on tuner output for silent tuning.
- A high-quality Radial direct box (DI) output to feed the PA system or recording console, ensuring a pristine, balanced signal.
Built like a tank with a heavy-duty steel chassis, the Bassbone OD is ready for the rigors of the road, providing unparalleled tonal control and connectivity for the discerning bassist.
