THORN SOUNDLABS / STEAM BASS

STEAMBASS is an all-analog, studio-quality bass compressor that has been meticulously designed for optimal compatibility with other pedals and all types of bass amplifiers.

STEAMBASS is designed to give you complete control over your bass dynamics without sacrificing the feel of your playing or the weight of the low frequencies.
Threshold and Amount determine the degree of compression, while Attack and Release allow you to fine-tune whether the sound is sharp and punchy or tightly controlled. Particularly noteworthy is the Detail control. By re-blending the high frequencies, it restores the contours and clarity of the sound that are often lost even at deep compression settings. Of course, you can also maintain the optimal volume level with Output.
This allows you to enjoy studio-quality dynamic control while preserving the ""sparkle"" that is lost with conventional compressors.
Even if you're not familiar with compressor operation, you can rest assured with Auto mode. It perfectly adjusts the attack and release to match your playing style. From subtle, natural correction to a modern, powerful, punchy sound, STEAMBASS always guides your bass sound to its ideal position.
