PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Bass Compactor combines compression and active tone controls in

one convenient, rugged pedal.Voiced specifically for bass, no other

single pedal offers this kind of control in such a simple, economical and

portable package.

For live performances and recording direct, the 100% analog design

delivers Tech 21’s legendary warm, natural tone.The independently

adjustable, player-friendly controls allow you to determine the formula

that best suits your particular taste in any given venue.You have the

option of using the compression by itself or just the EQ.And, of course,

you can use the two together.You can also use the Bass Compactor sole-

ly for a clean boost.

The effective tone controls can make any passive bass instantly active --

saving you the expense and anxiety of hacking up your favorite bass to

permanently install a pre-amp.And with active basses, you’ll have even

greater flexibility with pre- and post-compression EQ at your

fingertips.

No matter how hard you spank or slap, even when the compression is

set at minimum, the Bass Compactor limits harsh, transient peaks and

evens out your signal. Noise reduction has been thoughtfully engineered

directly into the circuitry.The high-impedance F.E.T.-based input is excep-

tionally responsive to your playing style, be it jazz, funk, blues, or good

old rock ‘n’ roll. Characteristic of all Tech 21 products, the Bass

Compactor will not alter your instrument’s individual personality.

We hope the Bass Compactor will be a useful tool for stimulating your

creativity and, ultimately, inspiring you to play your best.

APPLICATIONS

The Bass Compactor can be used direct into a recording console or

with any amp. It can also be used with any of our highly-acclaimed

SansAmpTM models of Tube Amplifier Emulators.

GUIDE TO CONTROLS

COMP (Compression)

controls the amount of compression. Ranges from minimum at 1:1 to

maximum at 15:1.

LOW & HIGH

Unlike passive controls that can only cut, these active tone controls cut

or boost ±12dB from unity gain at 12 o’clock.This powerful EQ section

effectively reduces the need for a fixed frequency mid control and

enables you to achieve an extensive variety of curves --including a “mid-

cut” as well as a “mid-boost.”

Adjusting Mid-Range Content: The mid-range level of the Bass

Compactor is preset. Boosting Low and High gives you the equivalent

of a “mid-cut” where the relative mid-range level is lower than the

Low and High frequency levels. Cutting Low and High is the

equivalent of a “mid-boost” where the relative mid-range level is

higher than the Low and High frequency levels. NOTE: The overall

output level will change in relation to the adjustments you make with

the EQ controls.You can compensate accordingly with the Level

control.

LEVEL

adjusts the output level without altering any tonal characteristics.

NOTEWORTHY NOTES & SUGGESTIONS

--You need not set everything at max to get maximum results.To get

started right out of the box, we recommend setting all controls at

12 o’clock.

--For a clean boost, turn the compression to minimum (7 o’clock).This

will enable you to kick in up to 6dB of volume without altering the

tone of your bass.

--When using acoustic, semi-acoustic or hollow body instruments, be

aware that too much compression may cause the body to resonate

and feed back. Simply decrease Comp as needed.

--If you should want distortion and overdrive, consider our SansAmp

Bass Driver DI. If you’re looking for mega distortion and overdrive,

consider using our XXL stomp box with a SansAmp Bass Driver DI.

--If you want more sophisticated EQ, consider our SansAmp Acoustic DI.

--The LED will fade as the battery runs low.

USING THE BASS COMPACTOR

WITH OTHER EFFECTS

In most cases, the best results will be achieved by plugging your

instrument directly into the Bass Compactor --even when using it with

a SansAmp.The Bass Compactor should, however, come after an

envelope filter (auto-wah) or other dynamically-controlled effect.
