BPDI Bass Preamp + DI User Manual
Thank You for your purchase of the Acoustic BPDI Bass Preamp and DI (Direct
Input) pedal.
Your BPDI is a fully featured bass guitar preamp and direct box derived from
Acoustic Bass Amps designed to give you a classic warm, punchy bass tone with
a wide range of tonal options. The BPDI features a 4-Band EQ optimized for bass
guitar as well as a fully blend-able overdrive circuit to add as much or as little dirt
and grit to your sound as you like. Other tone shaping tools include a variable Notch
Filter and Shape voicing button in addition to a built in compressor to smooth out
note to note dynamics and enhance techniques such as slapping and popping.
The BPDI includes all the connectivity you need to get your sound out into the world,
offering balanced XLR output for connection to a Front-Of-House mixer, recording
console or interface, PA Speaker or other destination and ¼" Outputs to connect to
your existing bass amplifier like you would any effect pedal. For those looking to
practice or play silently, the BPDI is a great portable practice rig in a pedal with 1/8"
headphone output and 1/8" Aux In connections.
This manual will walk you through the BPDI Features as well as all of its connections
and their uses.
Please note, your BPDI can be powered either by 9V Battery or with the included AC
Adaptor Power Supply. If connecting to a pedal power supply please use only a 9V
Outlet with negative Tip and a minimum of 130mA.
Again, thank you for choosing Acoustic Amplification and we hope you enjoy your
BPDI for many years to come!
