Electro-Harmonix Bassballs User manual

BASSBALLS
TWIN DYNAMIC FILTERS
FOR BASS GUITAR
- DESCRIPTION -
The Electro Harmonix Bassballs is the first and only envelope follower of its kind. The
vocal sound of its two sweeping filters gives bass a strong presence under leads, or a
commanding quality when out front. The resonant frequencies are engineered solidly
into the full range of the bass guitar’s strongest harmonics. Bassballs will respond to
everybass note. The sweep is widely variable, and harmonic enrichment is available
with the Fuzz option.
- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS -
Connect your instrument and amp to the appropriate jacks on Bassballs. Inserting a
guitar cable into the INPUT jack engages the battery supplied. For longer battery life,
a 9 volt AC adaptor can be inserted in the 1/8" (tip positive) AC jack. The FOOTSWITCH
selects your original signal or the filtered signal as the Bassballs output.
The range of the filters‚ upward sweep in pitch is set by the interaction of instrument
volume and the SENSITIVITY control. Both stronger attacks and higher (clockwise)
control settings increase the sweep range. Low volume and low SENSITIVITY settings
will create little or no sweep, and Bassballs will only provide a small boost in its
lowest frequencies.
In its upward position, the FUZZ switch introduces additional harmonic enrichment
which accentuates the filters‚ action. The SENSITIVITY “pot” also serves as a volume
control for the FUZZ, also increasing in the clockwise direction.
