3. INTRODUCTION
For many Markbass amp users, the VLE and VPF filters are the only EQ knobs they turn! This pedal allows anyone to add these two magic filters to their sound! Even if you already have the
filters on your amp, the pedal gives you footswitch control and greater flexibilty. The
VLE
(Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) is an adjustable shelf that filters out high frequencies to give
you a mellower, less modern sound: it’s especially useful for acoustic and older styles of music. As you turn it up, a wider and wider range of high frequencies gets cut. The
VPF
(Variable
Pre-shape Filter) boosts lows and highs, and cuts mids; this filter has very powerful uses for rock music, slap bass and pick playing. The
SUPER BOOSTER
also gives you a clean Boost, very
handy for helping you stand out when taking a solo! The pedal also features an onboard
active DI
output and true/buffered bypass circuitry.
