BOSS BB-1X Bass Driver Guitar Effects Pedal

The BOSS BB-1X Bass Driver is a premium stompbox designed to make your bass sound bold and punchy. More than just a standard compact bass pedal, the BB-1X is like a preamp, a crucial component in creating quality sound. It captures the essence and subtle nuances of your bass, amp, and playing and emphasises all their best characteristics. Incorporating BOSS’ MDP technology, the BB-1X delivers a wide range of superior sounds, from natural clean tones to heavy distortion. It adapts and responds to any playing style or register, but never loses the body and core tone of your instrument. The BB-1X’s natural-sounding distortion preserves the high definition and dynamics reflected in the finest details of your sound. The BB-1X provides a clear sonic outline to enhance your sound, yet never muffles your low end. With the Blend knob, you can easily adjust your tone by mixing the direct signal with the effect sound. Low, High, and Drive knobs offer an extremely wide range of sound creation. These controls not only shape the frequencies, but change the characteristics of the tone as well. The Line Out jack on the BB-1X goes beyond a standard DI out, providing a newly crafted and enhanced direct sound for reaching larger audiences through a PA system. The “1X” in the BB-1X’s name represents the pedal’s premium look, sound, and feel. Whether you’re defining your standard tone or spicing up your sound for soloing, the BB-1X Bass Driver is a must-have for every modern bassist. Don’t let the appearance of the BB-1X fool you—it’s not just another compact effect pedal. Rather than a standard bass stompbox that’s used occasionally for musical passages or solos, the BB-1X functions more like a preamp and DI that enhances and refines your entire sound. While many preamps color your sound or drastically change its character, the BB-1X is different. It emphasizes and invigorates the natural characteristics of your bass and amp, as well as the nuance of your playing style. Simply put, the BB-1X Bass Driver takes your normal rig and makes it sound even better!             Specifications Nominal Input Level -20 dBu Input Impedance 1 M ohm Nominal Output Level OUTPUT jack: -20 dBuLINE OUT jack: -20 dBu Output Impedance OUTPUT jack: 1 k ohmLINE OUT jack: 600 ohms Recommended Load Impedance OUTPUT jack: 10 k ohms or greaterLINE OUT jack: 600 ohms or greater Controls Pedal switchLEVEL knobBLEND knobLOW knobHIGH knobDRIVE knob Indicator CHECK indicator (Serves also as battery check indicator) Connectors INPUT jackOUTPUT jackLINE OUT jack (1/4-inch TRS phone type)AC adaptor jack (DC 9 V) Power Supply Alkaline battery (9V, 6LR61) or Carbon-zinc battery (9V, 6F22)AC adaptor (sold separately) Current Draw 54 mA Expected battery life under continuous use (These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.)
