Death By Audio

Notes: The Bass War was born with a clear mission: to take Death By Audio's legendary Fuzz War and craft it into the ultimate weapon for bass. Death By Audio didn't just tweak the formula, they reimagined it from the ground up, infusing classic circuit designs with our own twist. The result? A harmonically rich octave fuzz that doesn't just deliver - it dominates, with exceptional gain, a wide tonal range and a MIX control that puts the power of mind-blowing bass fuzz at your fingertips.

This pedal isn't here to play nice, it's here to push boundaries. The super-extended control ranges let you sculpt your sound from a gritty, grinding drive all the way to a thick, bone-crushing distortion. The FUZZ knob is your key to unlocking everything from a subtle growl to an all-out sonic assault.

The TONE knob is your secret weapon, acting like a notch filter that lets you sweep through a massive arsenal of fuzz tones, each one rich, heavy, and impossible to ignore. And with the MIX control, you can blend just the right amount of fuzz with your clean bass, keeping your sound powerful and balanced, no matter how intense things get.

The Bass War isn't just another Fuzz pedal, no it's your ticket to a bass tone that demands attention and leaves its mark. If you're ready to take your sound to the next level and carve out your own sonic territory, the Bass War is your go-to pedal. Plug in and let your bass do the roaring.

Envelope with filter with serious attitude

This mangled, filter-sweeping, abruptly overdriving pedal is designed to respond to your playing. It syncs its wave-thumping movement with the force at which you play. It multiplies dynamics into a hyper-exaggerated frenzy. It adds just the right amount of movement to punch through the mix and it reacts to an external trigger of your choosing to follow your tempo. Six selectable frequency ranges mean you're always gonna have just the right quack and oomph for whatever's plugged in! The sounds are wild, the thump is thick, and the animation is deep.

Controls

Input: Plug an instrument in to this jack.
Trig: Plug another instrument in to this jack and use it to trigger the filter sweep.
Out: Connect this to the amplifier.
Sensitivity: Determines the point at which the filter engages and the frequency range of the filter shift in relation to the input amplitude.
Intensity: Simultaneously blends in the resonance, amount, and grit of the filter.
Vol: Adjusts the output volume of the DEEP ANIMATION.
Frequency Selector: Selects the frequency range of the filter.
Bypass: True bypass the effect.
Up / Down: Controls the polarity of the filter decay once triggered. UP sweeps the frequency from higher frequencies to lower ones and DOWN, the opposite.
Additional Features: There is a subtle light to indicate the external trigger behind the main bypass LED.

Specifications

Power: 9V (runs on standard 2.1mm negative center 9V adapter or included 9V battery).
Current Draw: 18 mA.

Notes: The Germanium Filter is Death By Audio's love letter to sticking a pencil in your speaker.

Start with a console-style drive circuit, add in a dash of obsolete germanium transistors and finish it off with a super intense DBA-style filter - BLAMO! You've got a sound heavy enough to crush on and sharp enough to slice a tomato.

The Filter control is extremely unconventional - it'll take you from bottomless, sub-woofered out lows to super searing and brittle highs, with a universe of tone in between. The Germanium Filter will help you find the sweet spot for your instrument in any situation - at a show, in the studio, or even stranded on the side of the highway after your tour van catches fire - hey, it happens!

The Gain knob starts with a dirty boost that then spans through saturated drive, spitting distortion, and a blistering fuzz tone. Get ready for your sound to be cranked up to infinity-and-a-half and captured on tape by the most incredible recording engineer you've ever heard - only there's no engineer and no studio. Just you, your guitar, your amp and the Germanium Filter.

Controls
