SONIFIX / AURION Bass Overdrive

This pedal adds a superb sheen and thickness to your bass without sacrificing its core tone. Unlike typical blends that create a sense of separation, it delivers a unified sound reminiscent of a distorted amp. The key ""Character"" knob allows for versatile control, from thick vintage to modern sounds. Turning down the Drive allows it to function as a constantly-on preamp, adding a superb texture similar to a tube amp. With a top jack and a robust, machined casing, this is a truly practical pedal.

【Controls】

・Blend: Adjusts the balance between the original signal and the wet signal. Based on the philosophy of ""adding only the necessary amount of original signal to the wet,"" it maintains an extremely natural texture even when turned all the way to the wet side.

・Level: Adjusts the level of the wet signal.

・Drive: At lower settings, it functions as a preamp-like saturation that is always on; at higher settings, it functions as a dense drive sound that makes solos stand out.

・Low: Adjusts the thickness of the low frequencies of the wet signal. It is possible to lower the center of gravity of the sound image to add thickness, or conversely, to make it a clean and tight drive.

・Character: The core control of this unit. Rather than simply correcting the tone, this pedal changes the ""distortion frequency range"" itself, allowing you to create everything from thick, round, vintage-like distortion to a modern sound with sharp definition.

* Tone: Adjusts the high frequencies of the wet signal, controlling the brightness, clarity, and edge of the distortion.

The robust and high-quality custom-machined enclosure features a top jack for easy integration into pedalboards and laser-engraved lettering that won't fade, making it highly practical for demanding live performances. The interior uses carefully selected high-quality parts and extra-thick wiring to thoroughly eliminate noise and signal degradation. Its unique circuit design enhances the inherent qualities of the bass, making it exceptionally effective not only for heavy distortion but also as a ""bass preamp"" or saturator with low distortion for constant use.

*When operating the Blend and Level knobs, scratch noise may occur due to the circuit configuration specifications; this is not a malfunction.
