Legendary amp sounds at your feet
Throwing the BassRig Super Vintage on your pedalboard is like adding a full-featured amp to your setup. With a flick of the Ultra Hi/Lo Cut switch, punching in additional highs and cutting out muddy lows is a breeze, crucial when going from warm-sounding cleans to gut-punching grind in the same set. The tonal tweaking only starts here, as handy controls for setting the horn cut as well as LF and HF levels polish your overdriven sound while fine-tuning the lows and highs to match whatever amp and cab you’re running, respectively.
Send stage-worthy tone to the soundboard via balanced XLR
While booming yet ear-tingling tone is the goal for many bassists at Sweetwater, two factors commonly play into the pieces of gear they decide to acquire: convenience and versatility. In the case of the BassRig Super Vintage, its wide-ranging sound is complemented by an incredibly useful DI out section, tailoring this pedal to any live or studio situation that presents itself. When wired in via the BassRig Super Vintage’s balanced XLR output, you gain access to a spot-on simulation of an 8 x 10-inch bass cabinet, channeling stage-approved sound with a single pedal. Origin Effects sweetened the pot with a DI cab sim switch — this two-position switch kicks on the cab simulation when the pedal is engaged when in FX mode, with FX+BYP mode keeping the cab sim always active.
