ELECTRO HARMONIX Bass Clone

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Bass Clone Chorus Pedal

Electro-Harmonix Bass Clone is a compact chorus pedal that houses the same analog circuit as the legendary "Small Clone" (made famous by Kurt Cobain) but with essential improvements for bass guitar. This pedal allows you to create rich, spacious textures that are perfect for both 80s new wave and modern rock, without sacrificing the instrument's low-end clarity.

The most important feature of this model is the Crossover switch. When activated, the low frequencies are separated from the modulated signal. This means your bass's bottom end remains clean, solid, and unwavering, while the chorus effect is applied only to the mid and high frequencies. Additionally, the Bass and Treble controls allow for precise tone shaping: "Bass" affects only the clean signal, while "Treble" affects the entire mix, providing even more flexibility.

Key Features

• Small Clone DNA: Based on the classic analog circuit, ensuring warm and lively modulation.
• Crossover switch: Disconnects low frequencies from the modulation circuit, ensuring a clear and solid bass foundation ("articulated bottom end").
• EQ control:
  • Bass: Affects only the "dry" (clean) signal, allowing you to emphasize or reduce low frequencies.
  • Treble: Affects the entire signal, allowing you to control the brightness of high frequencies.
• True Bypass: When the effect is off, the signal passes through unaltered, preserving the instrument's natural tone.
• Compactness: Durable, pedalboard-space-saving metal casing.
