Description
The Electro-Harmonix EH-4250 Bassballs Twin Envelope Follower is a bass effects pedal that offers a unique twist on traditional bass sounds, bringing a lively and dynamic edge to your performance. This pedal is designed to deliver two sweeping filters that modulate your bass tone in a way that is both responsive and musical. Whether you're looking to add some character to your solos or spice up your rhythm sections, this pedal provides the versatility that bass players crave.
One of the standout features of the Bassballs is its twin dynamic filters, which automatically adjust based on your playing intensity, creating a rich, vowel-like tone. The inclusion of a distortion switch allows you to add a gritty edge to your sound, giving you even more control over your tonal palette. This pedal is not just about producing effects; it is about enhancing the emotional expression of your music. With its simple one-knob control, the Bassballs is easy to use, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned professionals.
Key Features:
- Twin dynamic envelope filters for unique sound modulation
- Distortion switch for added tonal grit
- Responsive to playing intensity for expressive sound control
- Simple one-knob operation for ease of use
- Suitable for both live performances and studio recording

Criminally underrated
I’ve had one for about few months now and I love it it definitely grew on me over time.i don’t get much use out of it’s distortion setting but aside from that I have no complaints.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
Distortion off, sensitivity set between the 3rd and 4th dots

A great funky bass envelope sound
The longest serving effects pedal in my arsenal, (in fact I'm on my second one of these), I've been using my Bass Balls since the mid-1980's. Not only does it give a great funky bass envelope sound but it also has a fuzz switch to add a bit of dirt when needed..!

At the minute 0:35 of the video you can see he used the bassballs but the image is incorrect because the vintage bassballs was the real one.
To the right of the Maxon is an older version of an EHX Baseballs.
