Die Entwicklung des Chorus-Effekts scheint im 80er-Jahre-Pop steckengeblieben zu sein, zusammen mit überbearbeiteten Gitarren, kitschigen Synthesizern und knallenden Kragen. Das ist nicht so ein Refrain. Als wir die Boost Chorus-Pedale entwickelten, gingen wir zurück in die 70er Jahre, als Chöre satt, sanft und männlich waren. Wir haben herausgefunden, warum diese Vintage-Effektpedale so gut klingen, und haben dieses Wissen in eine neue Art von Chorus-Pedal mit deutlich verbesserter Leistung und einer ganzen Reihe noch nie zuvor gehörter Sounds einfließen lassen. Slapback-, Echo-, Flanging- und Double-Effekte sind mit den Boost Chorus-Pedalen mit dem bescheidenen Namen möglich.

Aufgrund der Art und Weise, wie herkömmliche Chorus-Pedale normalerweise mit ihren Verstärkern interagieren, würden die meisten Bassisten lieber einen wütenden Dachs auf ihr Pedalboard setzen. Der Boost Chorus Bass vermeidet durch ein speziell zugeschnittenes Design seekranke Töne und Dachsgeräusche. Es verfügt über die gleichen Bedienelemente wie der Standard-Boost-Chorus, einschließlich des Multi-Voice-Schalters, unterscheidet sich jedoch durch einen Detune-Regler anstelle des Pre-Delays. Der Detune-Regler passt die Tonhöhe der Chorstimmen an und fügt klanglichen Umfang hinzu, um einen dicken, satten, bassgenauen Refrain zu erzeugen. Geschwindigkeits- und Tiefenregler fügen Modulation hinzu, sodass zumindest Ihre Grundnoten erhalten bleiben. Endlich ein Refrain, der mit Ihrem Bass harmoniert.

The evolution of the chorus effect seems to have gotten stuck in ’80s pop, along with over-processed guitars, cheesy synths and popped collars. This ain’t that kind of chorus. When we designed the Boost Chorus pedals we went back to the ’70s, when choruses were rich, smooth and manly. We figured out what made these vintage stompboxes sound so good and poured that knowledge into a new kind of chorus pedal with greatly improved performance and a whole slew of never-before-heard sounds. Slapback, echo, flanging and doubling effects are all possible from the modestly named Boost Chorus pedals.

Because of the way traditional chorus pedals typically interact with their amps, most bass players would rather put an angry badger on their pedalboard. The Boost Chorus Bass avoids seasick tones, and badgers, through a specially-tailored design. It features the same control set as the standard Boost Chorus, including the Multi Voice switch, but differs in having a Detune control in place of the Pre-Delay. The Detune control adjusts the pitch of the choral voices, adding sonic girth to create thick, lush, bass-perfect chorus. Speed and Depth controls add modulation, so at minimum your fundamental notes are preserved. Finally, a chorus that works in harmony with your bass.

Bass Boost Chorus (Blue Version)

Frank Bello ist dafür bekannt, dass er Anthrax seinen eigenen Stil und seine energiegeladene Leidenschaft einbringt. Er schafft es irgendwie, komplexe melodische Riffs, die in diesem Genre normalerweise nicht vorkommen, mit schwindelerregender Geschwindigkeit und Genauigkeit zu verschmelzen – und das alles, während er headbangt, auf der Bühne herumtollt und ans Mikrofon stürmt, um Harmonien zu singen.

Zusätzlich zu den spezifischen Tönen, die Frank wollte, lag die Hauptpriorität darin, den Street Driver 48 einfach zu bedienen. Er wollte keine Unmengen von Knöpfen, Schaltern oder unnötigen Schnickschnack. Er wollte, dass Spieler direkt nach dem Auspacken einen großartigen Sound bekommen, egal ob es sich um Metal, R&B oder Prog-Rock handelt, ob Anfänger oder Experte, ob jung oder schon fortgeschritten. 

Frank Bello is known for bringing his own distinct style and energetic passion to Anthrax. He somehow manages to merge complex melodic riffs, not typically associated within that genre, with dizzying speed and accuracy —all while headbanging, romping around the stage, and dashing up to the mic to sing harmonies.

In addition to the specific tones Frank wanted, a major priority was to make the Street Driver 48 simple to operate. He didn’t want a zillion knobs, switches, or gratuitous bells & whistles. He wanted players to be able to get a great sound right out of the box, whether it’s for metal or R&B or prog rock, whether novice or expert, whether young or advanced in years.

Street Driver 48 -  FB48

Much more than just a direct box, the SansAmp Bass Driver DI is capable of dialing up big vintage tube tones, bright modern slap sounds, gnarly distortions, and all in between. Three different outputs to drive power amps, recording desks, PA mixers, or simply enhance your current rig. Controls include Presence for definition and upper harmonic content; Blend to combine the proportion of direct signal and SansAmp circuitry; and active EQ specifically tuned for bass with 12dB of cut or boost.

VERSION 2
With the popularity of 5- and 6-string basses going beyond fad status and becoming mainstream, we added a switch to adjust the bass frequency to extend into those lower registers. We also added a mid-range control and a switch to adjust its frequency. The core of the SansAmp Bass Driver and all of its tones remain true to its original design.

Bass Driver DI, Bass Driver DI v2

Whether you’re a MIDI-meister or amongst the MIDI-mindless, the MIDI Moose is a super simple, stage-friendly alternative to access 128 patches. Tech 21’s intuitive engineering eliminates the intimidation of trying to decipher an encyclopedia-sized manual just so you can change a darn program. Like its MIDI Mouse cousin, the MIDI Moose is also battery operable and provides a minimum of 200 hours usage. Its sophisticated battery-saving feature turns off the numerical display after 5 seconds. What if you forget where you were? Just hit the footswitch of the individual patch LED that has remained lit, and it will wake up the display without making any program changes.

Housed in a sleek aluminum chassis,there are Up and Down footswitches to select groupings of five preset programs. Individual silent-switching, custom actuators instantly engage each program change directly within the selected grouping.

Operable with standard 9V alkaline battery (not included), optional power supply (Tech 21 Model #DC4-A) or phantom power via the MIDI cable.

Tech 21 brings a fresh perspective to the standard delay pedal. By incorporating a clean Boost function, up to 9dB, your solos will jump out with greater dimension. The Boost D.L.A. is designed with user-tweakable, “lo-fi” analog technology. By manipulating the controls, you can infuse degrees of warmth and life characteristic of vintage delays. The circuitry intentionally injects the inherent imperfections of vintage units, which is what makes them so seductive and nostalgic. A single, continuously-variable Time control provides a full sweep, up to 1000 milliseconds, of delay. The Boost D.L.A. parameters are engineered so that you can explore and custom tailor such delay styles as digital, vintage tape and bucket brigade.
