The DSM
and Humboldt Electronics Simplifier Bass Station
is a highly adaptable preamp
pedal
for detailed bass recordings or for
going direct to the front of house.
Its preamp is based upon the classic
Ampeg SVT amp,
allowing tight clarity at low gain and
growling drive at high gain settings
Its independent parallel line bypasses
the preamp
allowing you to blend the clean direct
signal with your preamp signal
This lets you overdrive the preamp while
blending in the parallel signal to
preserve the low frequency content.
The cabinet simulations add nearly
endless options for dialing in your
final bass tone
With a useful wet and dry blend knob
what really sets the Bass Station apart
though is its dual
effects loops for both the main and the
parallel signals,
letting you add chorus to just your
clean signal or even a distortion pedal
to just your preamp to hit the signal
even harder. There are countless options for refining
your bass tones with this feature.
