About the Glorious Basstar sound
How many times have you plugged your bass into an overdrive pedal and being deceived by the
output sound : no more bass, too compressed, loss of precision, not violent enough, too muddy...
The glorious basstar can fix all these problems.
To do so, the Glorious Basstar cuts the signal in three frequencies bands : bass/mids/trebles. Each
band can then be saturated independently and mixed according to your taste. One can get a very
large choices of sounds with a bass guitar. By choosing to saturate one band or another and then
mix them with cleans band you can get back your bass, attack, precision and grain. It's all up to
you:
By saturating the bass, you'll get acid fuzz distortion.
By saturating the mids, you'll get vintage overdrive tones.
By saturating the trebles, you'll get more modern overdrive.
By adding clean bass, you'll get back subs in your tone.
By adding clean mids, you'll get back bite.
By adding clean trebles, you'll get back attack.
But you can choose to overdrive more or less each band, it's up to you to choose what fits you
best.
To begin I suggest you setup everything at 0, except tone with 100% treble and a fair amount of
volume (75%). The turn up the volume to listen to each band one by one in clean. Then listen to
each band adding more and more gain...
The Glorious Basstar can also be used as a 3 bands equalizer or a booster if you don't overdrive any
band.
