This pedal is intended for players with passive basses that want to give it the same punch and power as a USA Spector® bass with an internal Hazlabs preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pedal makes it a snap to switch between a Spector® and a traditional passive bass during a performance and ensures the passive bass is at the same output level and sits in the same spot in the mix as the Spector®.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTHE CHALLENGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you play your Spector® bass with the EQ “dimed” (or nearly so) then switch to a passive bass, you know the problem: The passive bass does not provide the same output level, EQ, and dynamic response as the Spector®, so it will sound quieter and thin-bodied in comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe problem is that the tone control on a passive bass only cuts frequencies; it does not boost them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassive bass tone controls rolled all the way to MAX is the same as an active bass set at the FLAT position. Switching from a dimed Spector® to a passive bass (with effectively FLAT EQ) results in a significant difference in levels and tone that makes it difficult to balance instruments using the same signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass and drums are the foundation of the band. While guitarists often change instruments to provide a diverse variety of tones, it is a more challenging scenario for bassists. Changing the sonic profile, dynamics, EQ, and level of a bass during a show changes the foundation of the entire mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do you switch between a Spector® with a “dimed” EQ and your favorite passive Fender Jazz without adversely impacting the entire mix?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTHE SOLUTION\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HAZard LAMPS pedal gives a passive bass the same active EQ control as a Spector® with a HazLabs preamp in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA passive Fender Jazz with the HAZard LAMPS bass and treble controls set to the same position as a Spector® will provide the same output level, same EQ response, and the same unique sonic fingerprint as the Spector®.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour bass will still sound like itself, so a Fender will have its characteristic Fender sound and a Rickenbacker will still sound like a Rickenbacker. But the HAZard LAMPS will have the following impact:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe output levels and EQ will be the same as the Spector®, so there is no need to adjust anything else in your signal chain to compensate for the difference when switching basses, and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe HAZard LAMPS will provide the same subtle harmonic overtones and slight sense of compression when played aggressively as the Spector® does. This brings out articulation and nuances that are subtle but help ensure every nuance of your performance is heard clearly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnclosure style: 152B\u003cbr\u003eEnclosure dimensions: 122mm (L) x 67mm (W) x 39.6mm (H)\u003cbr\u003ePower Supply (nominal): 9VDC @ 20mA\u003cbr\u003ePower Supply (minimum): 4VDC @ 20mA\u003cbr\u003ePower Supply (maximum): 18VDC @ 20mA\u003cbr\u003eEQ Cut\/Boost: +\/-15dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis preamp pedal is lightly used and we'll ship it to ya safely and swiftly in its original box!
