Electro-Harmonix Bass Preacher

Bass Preacher
Subtly transform the dynamic qualities of a bass guitar or take them to the extreme!

Bass guitars possess a huge dynamic range and produce powerful low frequencies. Designed for and by bassists, The EHX Bass Preacher 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 leveling out notes so they sit in a track to creating an intensely squashed sound, the Bass Preacher helps spread the gospel of great bass tone!

The input sensitivity ranges from -10 dBu to +2 dBu, making it a perfect fit for both passive and active basses of varying output levels. The Bass Preacher has a maximum gain reduction of 21 dB, with enough make-up gain to return your signal to full volume at maximum sustain (compression). The Attack switch changes the response time to give you additional control over the sound of the compressor. The Bass Preacher features true bypass circuitry

Controls:

1. VOL: Use VOL to adjust the amount of makeup gain.
2. SUSTAIN: Turn SUSTAIN to set the amount of compression.
3. ATTACK Switch: Toggle ATTACK to set the timing of the attack/decay curve.
