Bass Compressor Pedal with 3-band EQ and Subsonic Filter

Ashdown's tribute to bass legend Guy Pratt comes to bass players everywhere in today's Macchiato Comp: the secret to Guy's smooth runs, punchy fills, and beefy chords and leads. This bass-specific compression pedal has EQ curves and compression ratios in all the right places to anchor bass instruments to any style of music — in Guy's case, David Gilmour to Madonna. In keeping with the Macchiato theme, this compressor gives you 3-band EQ in the form of three corresponding roast levels; you can use these to tame or sweeten frequency ranges to taste. Sweetwater reviewers found the Subsonic Filter to be useful for reducing bass frequencies which can build up in a hurry in high-compression environments, revealing themselves in the form of mix-destroying mud and speaker-damaging low end. An included 18v power supply delivers heaps of headroom to make sure the Macchiato only clamps down on your signal where you want it to. If you're a bass player, don't settle for any ordinary stompbox — trust your bass tones to the Ashdown Macchiato Comp compressor pedal by Guy Pratt.
