Twin dynamic filters for bass guitar

BASSBALLS

TWIN DYNAMIC FILTERS

FOR BASS GUITAR

- DESCRIPTION -

The Electro Harmonix Bassballs is the first and only envelope follower of its kind. The

vocal sound of its two sweeping filters gives bass a strong presence under leads, or a

commanding quality when out front. The resonant frequencies are engineered solidly

into the full range of the bass guitar's strongest harmonics. Bassballs will respond to

every bass note. The sweep is widely variable, and harmonic enrichment is available

with the Fuzz option.

- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS -

Connect your instrument and amp to the appropriate jacks on Bassballs. Inserting a

guitar cable into the INPUT jack engages the battery supplied. For longer battery life,

a 9 volt AC adaptor can be inserted in the 1/8" (tip positive) AC jack. The FOOTSWITCH

selects your original signal or the filtered signal as the Bassballs output.

The range of the filters‚ upward sweep in pitch is set by the interaction of instrument

volume and the SENSITIVITY control. Both stronger attacks and higher (clockwise)

control settings increase the sweep range. Low volume and low SENSITIVITY settings

will create little or no sweep, and Bassballs will only provide a small boost in its

lowest frequencies.

In its upward position, the FUZZ switch introduces additional harmonic enrichment

which accentuates the filters‚ action. The SENSITIVITY "pot" also serves as a volume

control for the FUZZ, also increasing in the clockwise direction.
