• Now Carrying the Bass Pedal Brand “SONIFIX”!

  

  2026/05/22

  Sound House is proud to announce that we are now carrying the innovative bass pedal brand SONIFIX.
  
  SONIFIX is a brand deeply committed to a player-first philosophy.
  Through extensive prototyping and testing alongside professional bassists, SONIFIX has developed low-end tones that truly perform well within an ensemble setting. Rather than simply boosting bass frequencies, every aspect—from tonal balance and clarity to distortion texture and playing responsiveness—has been meticulously engineered.
  The result is a premium sound that enhances the player’s creativity while delivering a powerful low-end presence.
  
  The lineup features two standout models: the “GRAVION,” a modern overdrive designed to achieve the ideal bass distortion sound, and the “AURION,” a natural overdrive that adds richness and warmth while preserving the core character of the original tone. From circuit design and component selection to the specially crafted gift box that heightens the excitement from the moment of unboxing, every detail reflects a unified design philosophy.
  
  Don’t miss this opportunity to experience SONIFIX for yourself.
