About the BassFX

The first thing you’ll probably notice about the BassFX is its size—it’s not much larger or smaller than most other effect pedals for bass guitars. But don’t let that fool you. The BassFX does much more than most pedals you’ll find on the market today (and for an unbeatable price too). We’ve packed a lot of effects (more than 40!) and features into this unit. Here’s a glimpse:

BassFX Key Features

•40 preset patches that you can fully edit, store and restore to the factory default settings

•9 effect modules that provide multiple selectable effects

•Over 40 different effects with adjustable parameters and innumerable effect combinations

•Built-in auto-chromatic tuner

•Battery-powered operation and an external power option (9VDC)

•Simple interface that gives you quick and easy access to the BassFX’s features

Benefits of a Multi-Effects Pedal

If you’ve ever used effect pedals, you know they come in an infinite array of effects, colors and sizes. If you use multiple pedals, you probably do so by linking them all together into a chain. The BassFX eliminates the need for so many pedals because it combines just about all the effects you need into one unit. Instead of turning knobs and pushing buttons on pedal after pedal, with the BassFX you have full control over dozens of effects with one foot pedal! It’s that easy.
