Description
Think of the Bassbone OD as command central for your bass rig. It’s built around two fully independent input channels, each carrying its own level control, a passive-interactive EQ with real teeth, and a low-frequency filter to tame boomy resonance before it hits the board.
- Channel A adds a PZB booster, switching input impedance up to 10 meg ohms — exactly what a piezo pickup on an upright bass needs to sound natural rather than thin.
- Channel B brings Drag Control load correction, which restores the pull and feel a vintage passive Fender bass loses when it meets a modern high-impedance input.
Flip between the two with a footswitch, or hold down the blend switch to run both at once if you’re working a dual-pickup setup. Effects lovers get a shared send/receive loop so pedals in front of the Bassbone serve both channels equally — no duplicating your board for two instruments.
Built into the unit is a bass overdrive stage with its own drive and tone controls, plus a wet/dry blend that dials in anything from a hint of SVT-style hair to full saturation. A dedicated OD footswitch can be assigned to the overdrive, the effects loop, or both together.
On the output side, you get a 1/4″ instrument-level jack for your stage amp and a balanced low-Z Radial DI to feed the PA directly, with pre/post switching so the front-of-house engineer gets exactly the signal they want. A separately buffered tuner output pairs with the mute footswitch for silent onstage tuning, and a 3.5mm headphone output with built-in amp turns the Bassbone into a practice tool for the van ride between gigs.
