Free the tone - Bass blaster

Joe Ricardo · #1 09-23-2012, 03:21 AM

Just posting a linknof a new pedal I was sent by free the tone called the bass blaster.
It's hand made in Japan and is an overdrive for bass.
No loss of low end whatsoever but has bass and treble controls incase. Can do some fine tube amp emulation as well.
Any questions please ask me!

Free The Tone designed all the pedals for providence, this is basically the custom shop for providence.

Not hearing much of an effect for the bucks.

That was my reaction. Maybe it just smooths out the sound with a little extra grit.

hey
I will post some more videos at the weekend, it does a great tube amp emulation and also does get very heavy but I was going for a slightly overdriven Claypole type slap tone on this video.

Also here is a bit of info about acquiring the Pedal:
There is an official distributor in UK below:

Contact : Doug Chandler
Address : The Hermitage Marley Lane Kingston Canterbury Kent UK CT4 6JH
Phone : +44 (0)1227 832558
email : doug@guitarXS.com

But as of yet they do not have any dealer/distributor in the USA so will sell directly to
the customers in the USA through there
online store.

Also just incase you were wondering this is not a tube screamer clone, it's an original design, by Yuki the designer.

Not criticising the pedal but an overdrive that is more expensive than b3k and greedtone is .....

Sorry if I came across as super critical earlier. Definitely appreciate the video and exposure to any new gear.

On a side note - My holy grail is the Lustre Compressor from Japan. Only 10 were built. Every now and then I search eBay just in case one pops up. I almost had a heart attack tonight when I checked --- and I got a result. But it was for a Luster Compressor from Japan. Close, but not quite. That doesn't have anything to do with the Bass Blaster other than it's also from Japan, but I was so excited and then so let down in the span of two seconds I had to share.
