The fundamental frequencies of an electric bass are about 40 to 600Hz, but harmonics go all the way up to the ultrasonic frequency range. Many conventional pedal effects make the low end sound thin and lifeless. This usually is not only because of insufficient response in that range, but also because the harmonics are not handled properly.

The B2 series from ZOOM makes such problems history. 24-bit resolution and a sampling frequency of 96 kHz ensure signal processing power on a par with the best rack-mount devices. The dynamic, wide-range bass signal retains its full impact, and the result is clear, powerful sound that remains a distinct presence also when playing in a band ensemble.

ZOOM original 32-bit DSP ZFX-3 The heart of any multi-effect device is its processor and decoder section. ZOOM elevates performance to the next level with its newly developed ZFX-3 chip. 32-bit architecture means outstanding accuracy and smooth and detailed signal processing. Fine nuances of fingering and touch come through without any deterioration.

Great bass amp sounds for any situation Sophisticated bass amp modeling allows you to adjust parameters such as speaker cabinet characteristics and low-range response in three levels. Get the dynamic, high-impact bass sound of a large cabinet even with flat-response systems. This is handy when using headphones or studio monitors, or when playing through a small combo amp or other bass amp with low output power. Alternatively, turn the cabinet effect off and use only the characteristics of the amp head. Create your very own bass amp sound and get it whenever and wherever you want, even when using a series of different bass amplifiers on stage.

The G2.1u pedal offers two algorithms: One for live and one for recording. The sound you created at practice or in the studio can now be brought straight to the stage. Or take the sounds you worked out during a rehearsal and apply them seamlessly in the recording studio. Your creative scope has suddenly doubled.

The TLM 193* is a large diaphragm microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. With this microphone Neumann continues its long tradition, and is offering high end technology at an affordable price for musicians and the home recording studio.

The microphone uses a transformerless circuit, featuring extremely low self noise and large dynamic range.

The polar response is very linear over a wide incidence angle. Thus, even signals coming from the side are reproduced faithfully and without coloration. The exposed surface of the microphone capsule is at ground potential, making it immune to typical interference and contamination. The microphone is supplied with a swivel mount.

The MXR Tap Tempo switch features adjustable tip/ring configuration so you can control the delay time of a wide variety of delay pedal types. This pint-sized footswitch is ruggedly built for a lifetime on the road.

The Echoplex® EP-3 tape echo unit is famous for its deliciously warm, organic modulation and sweet musical voice—a key component to some of the most iconic guitar tones from the ’60s and ’70s. The original EP-3 units, however, are expensive, temperamental, and larger than a VCR.

That’s where the EP103 Echoplex Delay comes in. It’s the size of a Phase 90, and it delivers the EP-3’s legendary tones with a simple control interface and a hi-fi all-analog dry path. The Delay control sets the time between repeats—from 4 to 750ms—the Sustain control sets the number of repeats, and the Volume control sets the output level of your repeats.

Where the sound of this pedal really shines, though, is in Age mode. By default, your pedal performs as a perfectly-calibrated, factory-fresh tape echo machine would— bright and clear tape with subtle wow and flutter modulation. A quick push of the Volume knob lets you “age” the sound of your repeats, darkening the tone, upping the tape saturation (distortion), and increasing modulation and tape distress as you turn the knob clockwise.

The EP103’s delay signal gets the same tonal conditioning that the EP101 Echoplex Preamp provides, while the dry path is left untouched. For the full EP-3 experience, put that secret sauce on your dry signal by running the EP101 in front of the EP103.

The Echoplex Delay also features tap tempo functionality, for up to 4 seconds of delay time, when you hook up an M199 MXR Tap Tempo Switch. The dry path is all analog with Constant Headroom Technology™—providing a full 20 volts of headroom—and a choice of true relay or trails bypass. The EP103 can be set for 100% wet mode along with stereo input and output modes. No tape cartridges required!

Concert level professional vocal microphone with unprecedented gain before feedback

A simple musical accessory that creates smooth compression and limiting to squash the dynamic range of a signal whilst enhancing the percussive and harmonic qualities of it.

It uses a simple analogue circuit for the ultimate in sound quality and transparency of tone.

The gain may be selected (common to both effect and bypass modes) either at Unity (0dB) gain, -3dB attenuation or +3dB boost, depending on the position of the 'Axematch' 3-position toggle switch. This feature allows matching of the disparate levels found between the three most common guitar pickup types, namely large single coils such as the P90 (preferred switch position: centre), twin coil 'Humbucking' (preferred switch position to the left/attenuate -3dB) and standard single coil types such as on most classic Fender® guitars (preferred switch position to the right/boost +3dB).

Subsequently connected devices will then require less gain adjustment. A slide-switch inside the unit allows for parallel mix mode SB or "Straight Blend", whereby the compressed signal is added in-phase with the dry input signal and gives a relative boost. The "Z" mode/position makes the output "Balance" control go to zero signal when fully anticlockwise like on a conventional compressor. This internal slide switch is situated beneath the bottom right-hand edge of the printed circuit board, and is factory set for "Z" mode. This pedal is designed to be positioned near or preferably at the very start of an effects chain: immediately after the (good quality!?) cable coming from a guitar.

This makes it an ideal low-noise line driver and master gain-setting device, for getting the best results from your FX rig. It also performs usefully with the above features as a handy D.I. box for studio applications, despite having an unbalanced output. Another application, for example would be to connect the output of a close-positioned microphone (from a guitar amp cab) straight into the input and feed the OTC-201's output direct to a PA or recording console. The 3-position "Axematch" switch also allows for optimum headroom adjustment when used in a mixing console insert do try using it in this way: the OTC-201 sounds good with all kinds of recorded instruments and on (mono/bussed) programme material.

Why its different…

This design uses optical modulation to allow for quiet, low-noise operation and a natural envelope characteristic. The attack of a guitars note is allowed to pass through relatively unchanged, owing to a fairly slow attack time. The release time is dependent upon programme content (i.e. what kind of signal level has passed before) so is best described as medium with auto/variable release. In other words, it responds faster to higher signal levels than to lower ones. The circuit is designed to emphasise gently the treble frequencies on the attack of notes and for the bandwidth to narrow slightly as the notes decay, also conveniently reducing noise. This is dependant upon the "Sustain" control setting which narrows the bandwidth more at the higher settings. When "Sustain" is set towards or near zero there is little or no treble emphasis, as well as far less compression.

Play slide notes and fingered notes simultaneously! This little slide attaches with a Velcro strap and makes the transition into slide playing effortless. Throw a couple slide licks into a standard solo on the fly, for added color and depth.

The EQ-20 Advanced EQ gives guitarists, bassists and other live performers 10 bands of digital EQ with stellar sound quality. Physical sliders make instant EQ tweaks easy, and a straightforward Write function permits instant storage of EQ settings into nine memory locations.
