The new One Control Blackberry Bass Overdrive hearkens back to the original BJFe Blueberry Bass Overdrive model, one of the classics from early BJFe production. This is a very light Overdrive pedal specifically designed for bass players (but also great on guitars) that helps one achieve a slightly overdriven and more present bass tone at any volume and with any amplifier - or even running direct! Many players have described this quality as "grit" - similar to a large tube bass amp being driven hard at concert volume, but now in a pedal format. Bjorn has taken the very first BBOD model he ever created as a model, and then added a new "body" knob to the original circuit, enabling the player to precisely dial in the midrange "body" frequencies of their tone to make the bass guitar more prominent in the mix without increasing the overall volume. This new One Control version is a welcome addition to our growing collection of bass-specific tools to enhance your low end presence. It’s also a secret weapon for the Downtuned and 7/8 string guitar brigade, with a new heaviness for that lower frequency spectrum.

Bjorn’s Thoughts: Historically, the BBBOD was suggested by two bassists that came to my workshop and asked if I wouldn’t build something for them too as their guitarists had BJF pedals.They also said that there was very few things that worked on bass. I told them they would have to come down and play and tell and so they did.There were certain overtones they didn’t want present also due to that they played modern bass amps like Eden and Ampeg with tweeters allthough they both had also old bass amps like Gallien Krueger, Hartke, and Acoustic as I recall. It was actually fascinating seeing them play, listen, and comment on what they wanted and what they didn’t. The color for this model was a Mahogany tint that really was more purple than brown so it couldn’t be used on wooden instruments. Blackberry Bass Overdrive is another addition of classic BJF models appearing in the One Control line. The Blackberry Bass overdrive is a light overdrive for bass guitar. It is based on the original BJF Blueberry Bass overdrive where the first unit ever made was examined and duplicated but the circuit has been upgraded with a Body control that sets a range on bass guitars that is generally percieved as body of sound and that can make bass guitars more prominent in conjunction with other instruments.

THE “SWISS ARMY KNIFE” FOR TONE! GENZLER® AMPLIFICATION proudly announces the addition of a second pedal from the “redux collaboration” that brings Jeff Genzler and engineer Andy Field back together again — developing a new line of bass & guitar effect pedals under the Genzler Amplification brand.

And now, the re/Q — DUAL FUNCTION EQUALIZATION pedal is a versatily and expressive tool for use with a variety of instruments, bass guitar, acoustic and electric guitars. This “swiss army knife” offers 2 specific and separate filter networks, HPF and LPF filters with on/off switching and a 5 band EQ network, with its own on/off switching. This all makes the Re/Q pedal an essential tool for enhancing an instruments tone or cleaning up room dependent issues for optimal performance.

And the re/Q provides an EQ Output level of +/- 9dB. This versatile design allows the pedal to be used as a clean boost in some applications, and is a great combination with other GENZLER pedals —- the 4 ON THE FLOOR, and CLASSIC BASS OVERDRIVE pedal. This pedal also offers another level of versatility as it accepts nearly any power supply; 9 – 18 Volts, either polarity. (Power supply not included).

SHIFT YOUR TONE! GENZLER® AMPLIFICATION proudly announces a “redux collaboration” that brings Jeff Genzler and engineer Andy Field back together again — developing a new line of bass effect pedals under the Genzler Amplification brand. Both forces have shared design passions that date back to the early 1990’s while working together at Jeff’s previous company, Genz Benz. Andy, Jeff and current Genzler Amplification principal engineer Scott Andres were responsible for the products that put Genz Benz on the map, so many years ago. After parting ways after Genz Benz, Andy was soon brought-on at Mesa Boogie to develop their flagship line of Subway bass products. Eventually Jeff and his wife Catherine decided to jump back into the game, starting up Genzler Amplification along with Scott Andres as principal engineer. Jeff and Scott working together again developed such innovative products as the Bass Array cabinet designs, the Magellan series of bass amplification, the Acoustic Array combos, and recently the Nu Classic series bass cabs.

While Andy remains at Mesa designing new Mesa specific products, with the blessings of management there, this new “gig” brings back the fun and collaboration of working closely with good ole’ friends and compadres. “When you’ve worked so long together in the trenches over a few decades, having this team back together just feels good all over again”— Genzler states. Andy Field comments: “it’s like getting the band back together, again”.

And now, the GENZLER® AMPLIFICATION pedal line will explore a variety of pedal concepts based on their decades of collaboration together, looking back into hundreds of pages of their old design ideas, and to explore interesting circuits that were started but never used, blending them with new innovations. A retrospective of sorts, this is a chance to dig into their collective pasts to develop what they feel players would use and appreciate, going forward.

The first pedal in the line is the 4 ON THE FLOOR, CLASSIC BASS OVERDRIVE, offering 4 separate “gears” of variable analog overdrive textures and harmonic content to SHIFT through, along with a clean blend feature. HPF and LPF controls are included to shape the overdrive engine’s signal path. This pedal offers touch sensitive asymmetrical and symmetrical overdrive characteristics, variations of compression and overdrive complexity, along with a true bypass. The versatility allows this to be used as a clean boost, along with the various overdrive gears, up to all out heavy saturated drive. This pedal also offers another level of versatility as it accepts nearly any power supply; 9 – 18 Volts, either polarity. (Power supply not included).

The FC11 Envelope Filter pedal is a mini form factor pedal from Flamma Innovation featuring a robust and customizable envelope filter for auto-wah style effects. Unique to the FC11 is its pure analog circuit that provides a warm and natural-sounding effect. Featuring a wide range of knob controls, users can set up their FC11 to be used with guitar or bass and cater their tone for a variety of different styles using the Sensitivity, Tone, Decay, and Q knobs. True bypass is also included to prevent unwanted signal degradation when the pedal is off. The FC11 is housed in a durable metal shell with one of the smallest footprints on the market fits easily on any pedalboard.

The 85 is a Bass interval pedal offering studio quality pitch tracking and sound. Lovingly handcrafted in our UK workshop in the heart of England. The 85 gives you independent control of an Octave down and an additional switchable ‘Interval’ control, allowing for an extra octave up, 2 octaves down or a perfect 5th above your original note. Focus control allows you to fine tune the character, from classic funky subs to massive synth-like chords. All with pro level tracking.
