6. BOWED – A classic bowed bass sound with adjustable attack. CTRL 1 controls
sub-octave mixing between 1 octave down (CCW) and 2 octaves down (CW).
CTRL 2 adjusts the bow's attack speed, as you turn up the knob, the attack
speed slows. The attack effect is fully polyphonic.
7. SPLIT BASS – This patch provides a sub-octave effect on all notes below
F#3—the F# found at the fourth fret of the D-sting on a standard guitar. It
does not pitch shift notes above G3. This allows a guitar player to play bass
lines with the lower two strings of a guitar and chords or melody with the
highest three strings. CTRL 1 adjusts bass tone by adding upper harmonics
as the knob is turned clockwise. CTRL 2 provides an envelope filter/auto-wah
effect on all notes you play. As you turn CTRL2 up, the wah effect intensifies.
Pro Tip: turn up the DRY knob to hear your guitar signal.
8. 3:03 – A polyphonic emulation of one of the most sought-after vintage bass
synthesizers. CTRL 1 adjusts the filter's envelope sweep depth or total range
while CTRL 2 sets the envelope speed. Pro Tip: use the guitar's volume knob
as a sensitivity control for envelope triggering.
9. FLIP-FLOP – Inspired by the Electro-Harmonix Octave Multiplexer, this patch
provides a '70s style logic driven sub-octave generator, except the BASS9
tracks without glitches! CTRL 1 handles sub-octave, mixing between 1 octave
down (CCW) and 2 octaves down (CW). CTRL 2 adjusts the frequency of a
synth-like low-pass filter.

TIPS ON GETTING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM THE BASS9
1. The BASS9 is generally best used as the first pedal in an effects chain. Place
distortion, modulation, delay, and reverb effects after the BASS9. The unit
will not perform well if placed in the effects loop of a guitar amp.
2. Much of the BASS9's tone is dependent on your guitar's original tone. Try
experimenting with different pickup positions and tone settings to add more
versatility to your bass sounds. Different picking styles such as finger and
thumb picking, picks, hammer-on, etc. will have a major impact on the bass
tone produced by the BASS9.
3. Avoid placing a distortion or overdrive in front of the BASS9, which could
muddy up the input signal and cause the tracking to be unstable. If you
want to add overdrive or distortion, place it after the BASS9.
