The Electro Harmonix Bass Preacher Bass Guitar Effects Pedal is a compression pedal especially designed to tackle the lower frequencies in the bass register, suitable for both active and passive instruments, and is packaged in a rugged user friendly chassis.
Bass guitars possess a huge dynamic range and produce powerful low frequencies. Designed for and by bassists, this compact compressor/sustainer features fully adjustable controls that can subtly transform the dynamic qualities of a bass guitar or take them to the extreme. From transparently levelling out notes so they sit in a track to creating an intensely squashed sound, this pedal is highly effective at getting your message across in a professional no nonsense manner.
