External Effects

We are convinced that the basic sound of the Fame
BS3-125 will suit the demands of most bass players. 
Although, the usage of external effects devices can 
provide a variety of new and interesting sounds.
These are divided into:

•  Level-related effects are: Compressor, Limiter or
 Noise 

Gate

•  Time-based effects are: Delay/Echo, Chorus or
 Flanger
•  Volume-based effects are: Tremolo, Auto-Volume or
 Pan
•  Filtering-related effects are: Equalizer, Phaser,
 

Rotary or Vibe

While the last three effects groups can be inserted in the 
fx loop of the BS3-125, level-related units must always be 
connected between instrument and amplifi er.

A lot of our customers gave us a positive feedback on 
using an Auto-WahWah in front of the BS3-125.

How to choose the right device

High-quality effects like a vibrato or time-based units like 
delays can round up the sound, when placed in the fx loop 
of the amplifi er. But the fi nal sound is depending on the 
choice of the specifi c unit.
A multieffects processor i.e. digitalizes the incoming 
signal by using an AD-converter and inverts it after 
adding several effects. Depending on the used model, 
the sound can be infl uenced in a negative way.

Expensive units contain very capable converters, which 
keep the signal in its original value and even improve the 
sound quality.

Analogue units will not harm the signal’s quality, but they 
are also limited and normally produce only one overall 
sound.

Hints & Gimmicks

We came up with the following advice and “wisdom“ according to our 
personal experiences. This will help you to improve the performance of your 
BS3-125.
