You now have absolute control in constructing your vision of what the perfect bass distortion texture, definition, and size should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistorting bass has always been a very challenging engineering endeavor. To achieve a punchy and aggressive distortion that is also full and fat-sounding, you need to reconcile two contradicting conditions: The tightness comes from attenuating bass frequencies before saturation, which will also result in a very thin signal. But boosting the lows will result in additional, unwanted fuzz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Pass Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Controls the cutoff frequency to be distorted, ranging from 100 Hz for thicker, fuzzier saturation or 1 kHz for ultra-sharp definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMids:\u003c\/strong\u003e Active mid control placed after the Mix control. +\/- 12 dB @ 500 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 75 mm \/ 3\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 111 mm \/ 4 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 43 mm \/ 1 3\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 250 g \/ 0.55 lb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Pass Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Controls the cutoff frequency to be mixed back to the high-pass side.
