ULTRABASS BX4410/BX4410A
4. SHAPE FUNCTION
The SHAPE function on your BX4410/BX4410A provides a
revolutionary type of filter that you can use to modify your bass
sound in full detail. The filter allows you to shape your sound—
which is a must for bass players today. Extreme filter settings
will give your bass sound more power, for example:
You want to play a live bass solo but the sound doesn’t cut
through. The solo should stand out, rather than being drowned.
Set up a solid basic sound plus a very distinctive solo sound
using the SHAPE filter. Connect your footswitch to control the
SHAPE filter.
The SHAPE filter is a bargain when you are using two different
bass guitars. Maybe you want to change from a jazz bass to a
fretless bass, and vice versa—two instruments with a completely
different sound. During gigs you often lack the time to set up
your amp for a different instrument, so you’ll be happy to have a
BX4410/BX4410A, because you can use the SHAPE filter for
your fretless sound, and the basic sound for the jazz bass.
5. ULTRABASS FUNCTION
Extremely low bass sounds playing one octave below the
lowest available bass guitar frequency are quite trendy in current
music productions. Often, you can do this in studios only, because
most bass amplifiers have no sub-harmonics function. Not so
with your BX4410/BX4410A: the ULTRABASS processor gives
you the ultimate tool to shape up-to-date sounds.
You’ll be surprised how deep your bass can sound with the
ULTRABASS function of your BX4410/BX4410A. Extreme
settings can be particularly interesting if you want to give your
sound some flavor in the treble range. By the way: when you
use the SHAPE filter set to a low cut-off frequency (which is a
nice setting for growling sounds), but feel that there’s not enough
power in the bass range, the sub-harmonics processor will be
there to help you: even though the sound is still growling, now it
has much more depth.
The ULTRABASS function can easily be switched on and off
via the supplied footswitch. This allows you to fine-tune certain
passages only.
