Buy bass effects devices at session

Effect devices are best form as small electronic devices that are connected between the guitar or bass and the amplifier to change the sound . There are many different ones, such as reverb, echo, distortion or even compression ( bass compressors in comparison ), which help to make the sound more even and more powerful. Depending on the style of music, various types ofmodulation or sound changes through filter are also used to make the sound more interesting, broader or alienate.

From guitar effect to bass effect

However, for a long time effects devices were found almost exclusively among guitarists, as bassists tended to strive for the clearest and most genuine sound possible. Nevertheless, one of the first effects that appealed to some bassists was distortion . Especially in rock, they wanted to be in no way inferior to the guitarists and also wanted to make the bass sound harder and dirtier . This led to them trying to overdrive the amplifier . At first, just like with the bandmates on the guitar, this was done using very high amplifier volumes and later using devices specially made for this purpose.

The family of effects devices

Effect devices were developed along with music. Distortions, fuzz effects, flangers, phasers, wah-wahs, echoes, reverb devices and much more were created - initially for guitar and later also for bass. Bass effects are now an integral part of the portfolio of large companies such as Boss , Electro Harmonix or MXR , and over time the range of effects devices has also become wider and wider for companies that specialize in bass, such as EBS or Aguilar .
But it's not just big companies that offer effects for electric bass . Even small manufacturers such as Darkglass or Okko offer a fine selection of bass effects devices . This means bassists can also choose their effects pedals as needed and create their own effects chain and design their own sound as desired.
There are multi-effects devices for all bass players who want to use many effects at the same time without having to laboriously wire up the many effect pedals and carry them around in a large suitcase. Thanks to powerful computer chips, these offer many effects at the same time in a wide variety of combinations in a compact enclosure, so that many different bass sounds can be created, saved and accessed. If you're also interested in tinkering with your sound or experimenting with different effects, you'll get everything you need at session .
