ULTRABASS BX3000T
5. ULTRABASS FUNCTION
Extremely low bass sounds playing one octave below the
lowest available bass guitar frequency are quite trendy in current
music productions. Often, you can do this in studios only, because
most bass amplifiers have no sub-harmonics function. Not so
with your BX3000T: the ULTRABASS processor gives you the
ultimate tool to shape up-to-date sounds.
You’ll be surprised how deep your bass can sound with the
ULTRABASS function of your BX3000T. Extreme settings can
be particularly interesting if you want to give your sound some
flavor in the treble range. By the way: when you use the SHAPE
filter set to a low cut-off frequency (which is a nice setting for
growling sounds), but feel that there’s not enough power in the
bass range, the sub-harmonics processor will be there to help
you: even though the sound is still growling, now it has much
more depth.
The ULTRABASS function can easily be switched on and off
via the supplied footswitch. This allows you to fine-tune certain
passages only.
