AMPLE OUND ETTINGS

The following examples below show a few of the many sonic

possibilities of the EBS OctaBass.

OCTABASS CLASSIC

SUB-BASS OCTAVE

SYNTH-TYPE BASS

This is the classical OctaBass sound setting, as

found on previous EBS products.

Use high setting for Normal and moderate on

Octave for best personal result.

This is a very useful setting for spicing up the

low-ends of your sound. The range switch

setting makes it possible to add the most

rumbling bass sounds ever created.

Use a fairly high setting for Octave and balance

your sound with Normal.

The most synthesized sounds are all made

possible in the High position of the range

switch. Useful for solo playing, fill-ins as well

useful for other instrument than bass or guitar.
