INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing Bass Box, a world-class bass tone engine, effects processor, and 

impulse response cabinet loader, all integrated into a powerful and portable stomp box.
Bass guitar processing applies overdrive, compression, limiting, preamplification, equalization, 

tube amp simulation, DI processing, bass cabinet tone, and more to get the best possible sound. 

Until recently, you would need to use several pieces of studio gear and large amps and cabinets to 

achieve the proper signal chain to get a polished, studio-quality bass tone.
Using digital modeling technology, we’ve incorporated all of these elements in one small package 

that works great on stage, in the studio, on the road, and home…just about any place you want to 

play bass guitar. Featuring world class tube modeling from Studio Devil®, you can now bring tube 

amp tone, EQ, compression, and cabinet impulse modeling, with you anywhere from a box that 

fits in the palm of your hand…
