Subject: Digitech X-Series Bass Envelope Filter.
Price: $259.00 Australian.
Features:
* 7 different synth and envelope filter effects;
1 - Envelope Filter; Classic envelope filter sound.
2 - Sub Envelope Filter; Envelope filter effect with an octave down pitch shift blended in.
3 - Synth 1 - Monophonic synth tone generator with an opening filter envelope.
4 - Synth 2 - Monophonic synth tone generator with a closing filter envelope.
5 - Filter 1 - Digitech's "famous" Synth Talk effect (Trademark of Digitech corporation.)
6 - Filter 2 - The Synth Talk effect with inverse filter envelope.
7 - Octasub - Not an octopus submarine (:upset:...), an octave down pitch shift efffect with a variable synth effect mix using the RANGE knob.
* Adjustable filter and range controls;
Sens [Sensitivity]; Controls the trigger sensitivity of the envelope/synth/filter effects.
Control; Controls different levels of function according to the effect selected using the TYPE knob.
Range; Again controls different levels of function according to the effect selected using the TYPE knob.
Type; Selects between the 7 envelope/synth/filter types.
Effects Matrix: What the CONTROL and RANGE knobs control in each of the 7 envelope/synth/filter types.
1 - CONTROL = Wet/Dry Mix. RANGE = Range.
2 - CONTROL = Wet/Dry Mix. RANGE = Range.
3 - CONTROL = Synth Attack. RANGE = Cut-off Frequency.
4 - CONTROL = Synth Attack. RANGE = Cut-off Frequency.
5 - CONTROL = Filter Attack. RANGE = Frequency Envelope.
6 - CONTROL = Filter Attack. RANGE = Frequency Envelope.
7 - CONTROL = Sub level. RANGE = Synth Level.
* Normal (Dry) and Effect output.
Output 1 (Normal/Dry) is used when one line-out to an amp/mixer is present, and carries the full signal as modified by the pedal (when the pedal is on) or the dry bass signal (when the pedal is off).
Output 2 (Effect) is intended to be used as a second line-out in conjunction with Output 1, allowing you independant control of the Dry and Effect signals. When Output 2 is active, Output 1 carries only an unprocessed bass signal.
Output 2 (Effect) is used to connect to a Mixer.
Flexibility: This pedal is extremely flexible as a result of the insane amount of effects and variations you can get out of it. You can use this pedal for funk, synth, techno, anything at all. With the right settings you can create whole soundscapes with your bass. Experiment with all kinds of expressive techniques to get the full potential out of the sound.
In conjunction with other pedals, ie; Bass Chorus and Digital Delay, you can get amazing flexibility and variation in sound.
Especially good for: Funk, techno, ambient music.
Other: The pedal also comes built-in CIT Cabient Modeling. This simulates a 4x10 bass speaker cabinet, allowing you to run the device directly to a mixer or recording unit without the need for a dedicated amplifier in the process. Very useful feature.
That's about all I can say really. Except the pedal can be tricky to use and a bit touchy, probably not something you will use in every song, but definetly good to have and play around with.
