Compressor Section
The compressor in the Bass Station is based on our Philosopher Bass Compressor pedal.
The BLEND control found in this section allows you to mix your original clean bass tone
in parallel with the compressed sound in order to restore natural pluck attack and
overall transparency. The SUSTAIN control sets the compressor’s threshold. This wide
range knob is VERY powerful, imparting everything from subtle optical limiting (at lower
settings) to outrageous amounts squash and sustain (at higher settings). The VOLUME
control sets the overall output level of the compression section. The GRIT toggle switch
introduces a layer of diode clipping overdrive into the compressor effect.
Booster Section
The BOOST control sets the overall boost level. Turning the knob clockwise will increase
the available clean boost up to 12db. This circuit is perfect for a transparent signal level
boost. We have chosen an overall maximum of 12db in order to allow fine tune control
of exactly how much level boost you want throughout the entire range of the knob.
