“The Basswitch switches everything but my TONE! The boost function puts the bass right up front.”
Translation:
With the Basswitch, at last a switch without any frequency and level loss between my passive, active and electroactoustic basses, an egalizer with great finesse, no sound coloration and a great comfort thanks to the boost.
A deliverance!
