Add crunch to your low end with the Trapper Bass
Distortion. Featuring two separate and stackable
distortion circuits, this pedal specifically fits the
tonal needs of electric bass players. The main
distortion channel features a crossover-blend
circuit to preserve clean low-frequency information
for clarity and punch, while an additional “solo”
distortion channel provides added gain and
crunch. Use the Frequency and Sub Level controls
to dial in the fundamental tone.
Designed by our in-house team of experts, the
Trapper Bass Distortion is an all-original Fender
circuit. The chassis is crafted from lightweight,
durable anodized aluminum, and the LED-backlit
knobs easily show your control settings at a glance
on dark stages.
