General
This rugged, audio-enhancing Lehle / RMI Basswitch Sonic Spark boost pedal for bass guitar was designed in collaboration with Michael Eisenmann, former co-owner and developer at AER amps. The result is this incredible pedal which ensures that every bass amplifier sounds amazing, regardless of whether it's analogue or digital. Ruppert Musical Instruments (RMI) has worked on the development of the Basswitch for years, and loaded it with sturdy components, including the Lehle foot switch. As it applies zero pressure to the print plate, it ensures virtually endless switching enjoyment.
Sonic Spark: V curves and tube sounds
Depending on which way you turn the Deep/Bright rotary knob, you can create a varying V curve in the frequency spectrum of low or high tones. This allows you to achieve just the right clarity or depth with your bass. Should you require more mid tones, simply turn down the Intensity. To add that vintage tube character to your bass tone, turn up the Gain and Enhance. The Gain generates a mild to strong overdrive while Enhance is responsible for adding a healthy does of overtones. With all the headroom it has to offer, you can use this pedal as a preamp, a booster, or as a second channel of the Basswitch IQ DI.
