Bass Compressor

The VCA chip used in the Apex has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The Apex is no longer in production. For more information on archived pedals, click on the Archive link at the top of this page.

 

The Apex is a studio quality compressor with excellent control, large headroom, and clean accurate compression. It uses a THAT voltage controlled amplifier (VCA) for the highest fidelity in a small and functional format.

 

The compression ratio ranges from subtle to total limiting. The signal threshold can be set for line level signals or all the way down to the low output instruments. Up to 20 dB of gain allows for making up any volume lost due to compression, or simply boosting your signal above unity.

 

The Apex also has a variable high pass filter placed in the side chain. This feature is great for bass guitars when you don't want the low end to trigger the compression as much as the mids and highs, making the compression naturally follow your playing style. The high pass filter will not affect your audio signal, so don't worry about any loss of low end!

 

The wide ranging compression meter gives you an accurate visual indication of how much compression is actually happening.

 

The pedal requires a 9V DC power supply (not included). The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. The current draw is approximately 60 mA.

 

The Apex has a true bypass switch.

The Low Pass Filter pedal can be used for taming harsh high end such as fret buzz, string noise, and artifacts from other effects such as distortion pedals. It is also useful for simulating the high frequency roll-off of speaker cabinets. At it's most extreme setting, the Low Pass Filter can turn a bass guitar signal into a low end dub tone.
The low pass filter is a 12 dB per octave high frequency filter. The knob controls the cutoff frequency and ranges continuously from 15 kHz to 220 Hz.

The Filter FX Loop is a utility pedal used for mixing any external effect with your clean signal while offering filtering, level, and phase controls for further tone shaping.

 The Filter FX Loop works by splitting your signal into two parallel paths: Clean and Effect.

The Clean path has LPF and Level controls (white knobs).
The Effect path has HPF, LPF and Level controls (blue knobs) as well as a phase switch. The HPF is placed before the effect, while the LPF, Level, and Phase controls are post effect.
The two signals are summed together and sent to the output.
 
The filters can be used to alter the feel and performance of an effect. Experiment with your effects to find new possibilities.

The Synth Voice is an original analog octaver that has extraordinary tracking, huge headroom, and heavy-hitting synthesized tones. This Deluxe model improves upon the original by increasing sustain, as well as adding active filters to shape the tone of each voice.
The Synth Voice Deluxe detects your input signal frequency and generates a synthesized tone at the same fundamental frequency. The volume of this signal is controlled by the SYNTH knob. The synth signal is perfect for adding heft to your clean signal, or changing your clean signal to a completely different voice.

The SV-Pre is a JFET preamplifier that has been modeled after the preamp section of the 70s SVT. Each gain stage has been carefully designed to capture the feel of warmth and breakup found on the original amp. Coupled with a cab sim, you could have the monstrous tone of the classic bass amp stack without the challenge of transporting 250 pounds of gear.

 

In addition to the gain stage design, the EQ and tone switches have been designed to give the same response as those on the original amp. The Bass and Treble controls are the standard James stack configuration, having a shelving response of the lows and highs. The eq is flat when at noon.

 

The middle control uses a simulated inductor to emulate the same frequency response and width of the mid control on the SVT. Instead of three fixed frequencies, the frequency knob continuously varies from 220 to 3k Hz. The mid eq is flat when at noon.

 

The Low toggle switch uses the same circuitry as the three-way Ultra lo switch on the SVT. With the toggle to the right, a 2-pole high pass filter is applied, and allows for a more natural drive tone. With the toggle in the middle position, the low end is unaffected. With the toggle in the left position, a slight scoop is applied, emphasizing deep lows and treble frequencies. The Bright toggle switch applies a treble boost, and is more pronounced at lower gain settings.

 

A Master volume knob has been added on the output to set the overall level. Use the Gain knob to set the desired amount of warmth and overdrive. The Gain knob is equivalent the the Volume knob on the 70s SVT.

 

The pedal requires a 9V DC power supply (not included). Do not exceed 9V as this will damage the pedal. The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. The current draw is approximately 20 mA.

 

Power Supply Notes

The JFETs are sensitive to power supply noise. Ideally you should use a clean power supply that is isolated from other pedals (i.e. not daisy chained). Some switch mode power supplies tend to be more noisy and should be avoided. Use a good quality, isolated supply and the SV-Pre will perform with very low noise.
