DI-2112 GEDDY LEE SIGNATURE

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)

Always thinking of our fat-stringed brethren, we had to make a 3-channel, programmable, rig-in-a-box for bassists who can’t get enough of a great thing. Like the TRI-A.C. for guitar, you get three hot tones right at your toetips. The all-analog circuitry features the same controls as its single channel predecessor: Drive, Bass, Treble, Presence, Blend and Level. Digital only in its programmability, you just tweak the knobs until you find a tone, double-tap on a footswitch, and it’s saved in that channel. It’s that simple. Three of your faves — to go!

SansAmp Programmable Bass Driver DI

The MIDI Mongoose is the next generation of its predecessor, the MIDI Moose. It has a significantly smaller footprint and additional capabilities. There are 2 independent inputs for continuous controllers to facilitate use with your other MIDI equipment, as well as a 7-pin phantom power jack. With just 5 footswitches, you can change groupings of preset programs by five or ten at a clip. You can also access Special Page functions to set MIDI channel numbers and to set continuous controller channel numbers and calibration.

MIDI Mongoose 5-button

The Geddy Lee MP40 Limited Edition Signature SansAmp sold out so fast, it made our heads spin. Out of respect for the limited number of MP40s featuring custom “Moving Pictures” inspired artwork, we are offering the Geddy Lee YYZ Shape-shifter Signature SansAmp. It has the same color scheme and graphics as Geddy’s other Signature SansAmps (GED-2112 rackmount, DI-2112 desk-top, and YYZ single footswitch pedal), with the same features and functionality of the MP40.
 
The YYZ Shape-shifter SansAmp includes the addition of a selectable Boost stomp switch, providing a 12dB presence boost for increased top-end distortion. Engaging the Shape-shifter button adds 6dB of Schmegilka on top, which, according to Geddy, “is an indefinable thing of awesomeness!”
