3.0OPERATING THE BASSKICK 303

3.1THE SOUNDMATRIX

The SoundMatrix is a new type of sound filtering system that lets you dial in diverse basic tonal settings while ensuring the response is always musical. Furthermore, these basic sounds can be called up very quickly and easily.

The following three diagrams illustrate the three fundamental sounds of the SoundMatrix as specific curves on a 32-band graphic equalizer. In practice, however, the SoundMatrix will always sound better; its filters deliver a more harmonic, homogeneous result with less noise.

The typical slap sound - well-defined and precise.

BassKick 303 Sound I:

GRAFIC

EQ

The modern all-round sound, suitable for all playing styles.

This sound delivers the warmth and tone for finger-style playing, especially when used with fretless basses. Slight preamp overdrive adds to the flavor. (See SECTION 3.2, ”THE GAIN SETTING”)

Deactivate the SoundMatrix by turning the rotary knob to OFF. The BassKick EQ section remains active at all times.
