Designed for the modern bassist, this pedal combines all-analog design with innovative features to deliver everything from creamy cleans to earth-shattering distortion. At its core, the Sub Atomic features a dynamic 2-channel architecture: a Clean channel that utilizes cascading CMOS stages for a lush, tube-like response, and a Subatomic Drive channel that dives deep into aggressive, dirt-laden tones.

Added versatility is provided by the onboard FX loop and a noise-defeating ground lift switch, making it a must-have for any serious bassist.
