THORN SOUNDLABS / BASSTARD

BASSTARD is a bass-specific pedal designed to allow you to freely manipulate your drive sound without sacrificing low-end thickness or tonal definition.

While many modern bass drive sounds sound similar, the BASSTARD stands out with its overwhelming individuality. The Damping control precisely controls the ultra-low frequencies, and the Headroom control allows you to freely shape the distortion response. Furthermore, four selectable mid-frequency settings allow you to pursue the perfect drive tone for your signature sound.

The Blend control adds saturation while retaining a clean core, and the Symmetry and Class switches allow for fine-tuning of playing feel and response. From subtle distortion to thick, powerful bass tones, the BASSTARD combines overwhelming power with precise control.
