Introducing the Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter, the evolution of the immensely popular standard Soundblox BEF. This pro-level pedal is packed with cutting-edge features that take your sound to the next level. With a wide range of 22 envelope filter effects to choose from, including Single Peak, Triple Peak, Peak/Notch variations, 2 Pole and 4 Pole Low Pass variations, and even Phaser settings, this pedal offers an array of sonic possibilities.
Each filter effect can be further customized with a variety of control options. You can adjust sweep range, select positive or negative filter sweeps, fine-tune the frequency range, and set attack and decay speed. This level of control allows you to sculpt your sound precisely to your liking.
The Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter offers four distinct modulation sources. You can choose between standard envelope filter sweeps, a passive expression pedal, selectable LFO waveforms, and the Hot Hand motion sensing ring. The passive expression pedal input provides versatile control over filter modulation, including effect selection, sweep range, LFO speed, and more.
This Pro Series pedal features three footswitches, allowing you to save and access six customizable presets quickly. It also offers a Tap Tempo LFO option on one of the footswitches, providing even more flexibility for your performance.
The list of features and specifications is impressive, including 22 filter sounds, negative and positive filter sweep controls, a signature low-end preserving algorithm called ‘Lo-Retain™‘ and a precise 7-band equalizer for detailed tone control. The pedal incorporates state-of-the-art DSP with a 56-bit Digital Signal Processor (SA601) and 24-bit converters for crystal clear sound. Additionally, it includes extended control options with an expression input and MIDI compatibility for external access to presets and parameters.
The Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter is ‘Hot Hand Ready®‘ allowing you to use any Hot Hand motion sensor to further expand its capabilities. With active analog bypass ensuring zero signal degradation and a 9V DC power supply included, this pedal is a comprehensive solution for bass enthusiasts.
In terms of dimensions, the pedal measures 7 inches in length (excluding I/O jacks), 6 inches in width, and 2 inches in height, including knobs. It’s a versatile and powerful tool for bass players looking to explore a world of envelope filter effects and sound modulation.
