A Bass Player's Dream Box

The Alien Bass Station bass guitar multi-effects pedal from Analog Alien gives the out-of-this-world control you need to shape your tone. The Limiter, Amp Generator, and Gamma Fuzz sections can be used in any combination to give you just the right tone. Live or in the studio, use the Alien Bass Station as a tonal line of defense when going direct and know your tone made it into the mix. With Analog Alien's Alien Bass Station bass guitar multi-effects pedal, you'll have consistent tone from song to song, from session to show.

Analog Alien Alien Bass Station Bass Guitar Effects Pedal at a Glance:
  • Great sounding limiting and compression for your bass tone
  • Tube amp tone even when you go direct
  • Fuzz so great even guitarists will love it
Great sounding limiting and compression for your bass tone

Sweetwater knows how much compression can do for your tone, and the Alien Bass Station delivers. The limiter section rounds out and warms up your tone without taking away all of the tonal characteristics of your bass. With the limit-comp, sensitivity, and out knobs, you can control your dynamic range without losing the impact of slaps or pick attack.

Tube amp tone even when you go direct

Unlike some amp modelers, the Alien Bass Station's amp generator has all-analog circuitry that keeps your tone warm and natural-sounding. The pedal works with your signal to give you a tonal result that sounds like a classic tube amplifier. Your sound engineer will happily find a place for you in the mix when you use it between your guitar and DI onstage. Gain and out knobs control your levels, and a very musical EQ section lets you shape the bass and treble response of your tone.

Fuzz so great even guitarists will love it

If you haven't already figured out that the Alien Bass Station has a personality all its own, then wait until you hear the fuzz. From a little dirty to full-on extraterrestrial, the simple in and out controls for this section make getting great fuzz tones super-easy. And while the fuzz section rounds out this collection of essential tools for bass players, the Alien Bass Station's dynamic responsiveness and altogether great sound tempts you to plug in a 6-string guitar too. After all, it wouldn't be the first time something made for bass players found its way into the tone of a guitar.

Analog Alien Alien Bass Station Bass Guitar Effects Pedal Features:
  • Bass multi-effects pedal with all the essentials for great tone
  • Limiter, Amp Generator, and Gamma Fuzz have individual controls that let you customize your tone
  • Individual stomp switches for each section can be on/off in any combination
  • All-analog design lets the tone of your instrument shine through
The Alien Bass Station has all of the tonal tools you need for great sound!

THE SINGLE GREATEST PEDAL A BASSIST COULD HAVE

I have had the ABS for 5 years, and let me tell you I don’t play bass without it! If I am playing my bass you know I at least have the compressor engaged. It may as well not even have a button as I keep it on 100% of the time. At church I use the amp generator to get a sweet Motown tone, worship team leader loves the tone. Live and Recording I use it to add a touch of grit and thicken up my Ampeg V4B. GREAT LED ZEPPELIN I TONES, talking about the velvety smooth you hear on Dazed and Confused and How Many More Times!!! The Gamma Fuzz takes me to LED ZEPPELIN II Heartbreaker. Keep turning up the IN knob on the fuzz and it will get as angry as you want. Lastly it’s entirely US made by 2 brothers, the Napolis’ are true gentlemen that make incredible products. This pedal is an instrument worth every penny.

Great tone. Great company

From the first time I plugged the ABS in, I was hooked. The extremely intuitive controls allow you to quickly dial in a wide variety of usable tones. Fat, vintage tube-no problem. Overdriven, high end grit-nothing to it. Fuzzed out, psychedelic grunge-easy as pie. Playing live, I"ve been using the Amp Generator as an outboard preamplifier, boosting my signal and adding some presence to my otherwise flat eq. I add the Limit/Comp as needed. And the Gamma Fuzz beefs up my signal to support soloists.
Additionally, Analog Alien has some of the best customer support I"ve ever experienced from an equipment manufacturer. First rate.
