Smart FX:

The Smart FX knob gives you a trio of the most popular and usable bass effects known to man:

Envelope filter

Modeled after a Electro-Harmonix Q-Tron®, this is the baddest envelope filter on the planet. You have heard this on your favorite P-Funk and Red Hot Chili Peppers recordings. An envelope filter is a wah-wah type effect that is controlled by the dynamics of your bass note instead of being controlled by your feet.

Octaver

Modeled after the EBS OctaBass®, this effect produces a single note one octave below the pitch of the played note, adding a powerful new vibe to your sound.

Chorus

Modeled after the much loved TC Electronic® Chorus, this is the most transparent, smooth and expressive chorus for bass ever built. Using it does not reduce your low end. It is especially beautiful on fretless bass.

For each of these effects you can choose anything from a subtle hint of change to total tone-bending sounds. While turning the knob, LowDown adjusts all the individual controls of the modeled effect to automatically give you a complete range of sounds, without having to mess with multiple knobs and switches. (We figured you would appreciate making music instead.)
