The soft compression, warm overtones, and thick, lustrous sound of the legendary Ampeg B-15 are perfectly reproduced in a foot-sized pedal! This unit is designed to precisely capture the sound of the classic B-15 while maintaining modern resolution. Its all-analog circuitry faithfully replicates the operating characteristics of a vacuum tube amplifier, and its push-pull power amplifier simulation with a reactive load vividly reproduces the thick, smooth response of this classic recording amplifier. The built-in 1x15 cabinet simulation and DI output provide studio-quality line sound, bringing the airiness of the classic B-15 directly to your mixer. In addition, it is equipped with an AMP OUT EQ that can be adjusted to match the amp and monitor you are using, allowing you to maintain ideal tone even in live performances. The BLEND control allows you to mix the dry signal in parallel, allowing you to freely adjust clarity and low-end retention. The housing is made of brushed stainless steel, combining durability and luxury that is unique to Origin Effects, and is entirely designed and manufactured in the UK. This pedal will satisfy even the most discerning bassist, allowing you to experience the classic bass sound of the B-15, which has been loved for generations, with its thick, solid core yet air-shaking overtones, at your leisure on stage or in the studio.・GET CONNECTED INSTRUMENT - Enter your bass or other instrument. AMP - Connect to an amplifier or power amplifier. DI OUT - Connect to a mixer or interface.

HI CUT - Cuts high frequencies to mellow the sound and make it warmer. LF - Controls booming with larger cabinets or thickens the sound with smaller cabinets. HF - Adds upper mid presence or controls top end when used with modern hi-fi amplifiers.・SHAPE YOUR VOICE The tone control affects the frequency response as well as the overdrive characteristics. TREBLE - Turn clockwise for a brighter tone and more aggressive overdrive, turn counterclockwise for a smoother sound. BASS - Turn clockwise for a deeper low end, counterclockwise for a thinner, more percussive sound.・BLEND IN YOUR DRIVE BLEND Turn clockwise to add more dry (clean) bass guitar signal, which helps maintain clarity when using overdriven sounds.
