B1. Bentham Bass Overdrive (PF201)
Bentham Bass Overdrive produces a wide range of tones from elegance, softness and punchy to raw brutal tones to meet the varying needs of a modern bass, creating almost any dirty bass tone you can imagine. In order to apply the distorted effect that is naturally produced by the loudness of the tube amplifier, the devices close to the distortion effect of the tube itself are carefully selected. The amplification and frequency filter stages have also been improved with a cascading circuit to solve the limitations of the classic bass overdrive.
Even when you increase the gain, you can linearly produce the desired furry texture and ferocity without any flabbiness. You can control the chic treble with the tone knob, select the desired two tones with the 3-positions toggle, and then adjust the gain and volume knobs of each of the green and red channels. It can respond immediately to your improvisation requirements and a number of playing styles.
B2. Boostequila Boost & EQ (PF221)
Boostequila Boost EQ is the dual channel boost & equalizer you need. If you've experienced your tone getting buried among other players in mid and high ends, with Boostequila, you can enhance your sound without increasing the volume that may sometimes break the balance of sound in your band. Boosting the mid can help output a punchy tone and increasing mid frequencies produces a growl-like sound by pushing the amplifier. In opposite, reducing the mid frequencies while boosting the low-mid and upper frequencies helps create both fat and crisp texture. In this case although the low end is emphasized, you can achieve a clear tone while generating full harmonics.
Boostequila Boost EQ will instantaneously make come true the transformation between sparkling single coil and thick-sounding humbucker, depending on the adjustment of TMB combination. Thanks to the monstrous volume, Boostequila can act as an active EQ boost, helping the opulent level-up of any frequencies produced by your guitar.
B3. Holy Belly Bass Equalizer (PF071)
Holy Belly is a dual-channel equalizer and boost for your bass. When the toggle switch is turned up, the green channel acts as the EQ and the other red channel acts as both the EQ and boost. This allows you to smoothly fine tune the treble, middle and bass 3 knobs from the hump tone wherein the middle stands out to the scooped tone of the low and high up, as a result of which tone selection becomes available for each channel. When the toggle is turned down, it only acts as an EQ, whereby the Boost function and mid are fixed at the same amount as the 12 o'clock setting of the mid knob on the green channel.
In this setting, the tone can be set according to the amount of bass and treble, and switching to the red channel allows for additional control of the middle. Holy Belly is an indispensable effector that can be used for almost all needs of a bass performance, enabling you to produce a total of four tones instantly.
Holy Belly Bass EQ is recommended for those who want to precisely control the bass tone with two channels of TMB, for those who want to use the EQ function as well as the boost function, and for those who want to get all the use cases required on a smaller pedal board.
B4. BearAss Compressor & Fuzz (PF211)
Bear Ass Compressor & Fuzz is a dual channel effects that integrates compressor and fuzz to an exceptional quality. The compressor unit is ambidextrous to provide a role of sustain & boost as well, whilst maintaining the attack and creating a natural compression. Therefore, while the compressor works on the green channel, the sustain & boost function operates on the red channel. The fuzz section covers a wide range of tones from sticky to a substantial amount of furry and outrageous tones, allowing you to make a wide range of adjustments just by using the fingers controlling the instrument’s volume knob.
When the toggle switch is down, the compressor (front) and fuzz (rear) work together to create a relatively soft tone on the green channel. This means that in the fuzz you can set two different sounds for each of the green and red channels to choose between the two fuzz tones according to your purpose. Unlike typical fuzz, this fuzz can be placed anywhere in the effect chain. This effect can also be used for the bass.
B5. Baron Ashura Compressor & Noise Surpressor (PF061)
Baron Ashura is a dual channel heterogeneous effector in which the compressor and noise reduction are integrated. Almost all of the knobs found in rackmount compressors are equipped in Baron Ashura to provide release, attack, and level, as well as compression ratio and threshold, so you can create the compression tones you often need during play. Covering very long times to very short release periods, you can use both the clean backing and bass techniques, as well as taking advantage of the mix between original attack and sustain, depending on the dialing of the attack knob. A superb built-in noise reduction function eliminates the typical noise that occurs at the end of a sustain, and unlike the noise gate which abruptly removes noise, Baron Ashura's noise reduction function can adjust the attenuation sensitivity and can be used independently. Therefore when placed in front of a dirty series of effects, such as distortion, Baron Ashura can reduce the waiting and sustains noise - particularly single coil noise - with elegance.
For those who need noise reduction together with a compressor with release, threshold, and attack knobs that are not commonly found in the pedal type, and for those who want to create various tones on a small pedal board using a pedal with two different functions, Baron Ashura is recommended as a heterogeneous dual channel effector.
B6. Camus Overdrive (PF081)
Camus Overdrive is a state-of-the-art classic overdrive reincarnation, featuring new technologies that help deliver a full range of tones. In addition to levels, there are two sets of gains and tones, so you can instantly select two channels while playing. E.g. self-overdrive gain with higher gain or low gain setting to boost other overdrives or distortions. Therefore, Camus Overdrive is able to act as two overdrives integrated into an A/B loop. Furthermore, the Rawk knob is equipped to complement the bass response gracefully which is often lacking in vintage devices. Fat toggles can also be assigned to each channel, providing the best performance and function in the overdrive and boost series with a high headroom.
Camus Overdrive is recommended for those who want to use the two channels for different purposes so that they can be used as a boost as well as a sole overdrive having high headroom, for those who want to select the Fat tone in any case where both channels are used.
B7. Copernicus Chorus (PF041)
Copernicus Chorus is a modulation effector that brings the classic 80's chorus tone to life. With all the adjustable elements in the chorus, you can mix the original and modulated notes as you like, or tweak the tone of the end-mixed notes to cover them from dim to sharp tones. Copernicus Chorus is also equipped with a level to compensate for unwanted volume fluctuations that often occur when a dirty series is placed at the front, maintaining a uniform volume level. Like other products in the LiberaToe series, it supports dual channels, allowing you to choose different speeds and rumbles. The indicator LED flashes according to the speed and supports a wide range of modulation effects, from vibrato to deeper chorus.
For those who want a warm vintage tone of the classic chorus based on a transparent bypass with less coloration, but want to play on two channels with different modulation speeds and depths, and for those who want to make more precise chorus sound by adjusting mix and level as well as tone in addition, for those who want to create a wide variety of tones on a small pedal board, Copernicus chorus is recommended.
B8. ProudAnus Fuzz & Envelope Filter (PF051)
ProudAnus is a dual-channel effector equipped with filter and fuzz sections. The filter section combines both features of an envelope filter and auto wahwah to achieve a real-time selection of the high and low frequencies by toggle or foot switch, which can be used for both the guitar and bass by covering a range of tones from screaming to wobble. The adjustable fuzz section reproduces a 60's vintage fuzz tone, which ranges from soft fuzz to roaring fuzz, and the impedance knob can be dialed to give a wide range of tone making, from sticky vintage fuzz tones to crisp tones, such as in distortion and overdrive. Depending on the direction of the toggle, you can instantly create various tones by selecting two channels Filter / Fuzz, High / Low Filter, or Fuzz / Filter-> Fuzz. As this heterogeneous effector features Fuzz in part, it is preferred to locate the unit in front of the effects chain.
For those who want to get the effect of human speaking through the picking nuance, those who want fuzz with the advantages of both germanium and silicon devices, and those who want to use the envelope filter and the fuzz as two channels to use each or together, the ProudAnus Envelope Filter & Fuzz is recommended for those who want to create a variety of tones on a small pedal board using a heterogeneous dual channel effector.
B9. Gnavatar Parallel Loop (PF141)
Gnavatar Parallel Loop is a multi-functional loop and tiny mixer effector. Its basic purpose is to provide parallel synthesis between two external and dry signals. Depending on the toggle setting, two loops can be combined with either dry and parallel synthesis or only two loops in parallel, as well as an even mix of three including the dry signal. Loop 2 is equipped with an invert toggle that reverses the phase, preventing the sound from cancelling out when parallel synthesizing between the effects of opposite phases, and also with Loop 2 dependent volume to adjust signal level to SEND 2 jack. The master volume is also equipped affecting entire level. Depending on the selection of the toggle, it can be simply used as an A / B loop function. As almost all functions that can be obtained from the implementation of the parallel function are adopted in Gnavatar Parallel Loop, it is easy to make creative tones. One centre-negative DC 9V (100mA) jack is provided for powering an external effector.
For those who want to use in various cases, such as mixing up to three loops including dry signal that are not commonly found in the pedal type, or to use them as a simple A / B selector, and for those who want to deal with the case of reversed phase of the loop as well as control of the entire mixed volume, Gnavatar Parallel Loop is recommended.
* As this unit supports half-normalled send return, it also processes signal even if the return jack is only plugged in and the send jack is unplugged. Even when both return and send jacks are unplugged, dry signals flow through the loop. The original signal may be split into two or three branches depending on the toggle setting.
