About Electro-Harmonix Battalion
Where innovation meets high-quality sound, the Electro-Harmonix Battalion Bass Preamp and DI Pedal stands out. This versatile and user-friendly bass pedal is designed for electric bass guitars, offering a direct injection of the bass signal into a mixing console or recording device. The result is a cleaner, more defined sound that musicians crave.
The Battalion Bass Preamp and DI Pedal is more than just a bass pedal. It's a powerful tone-shaping tool, packed with a four-band equalizer for precise sound control. The fully-featured MOSFET distortion section offers three signal path options, allowing you to customize your sound to your liking.
This durable pedal also includes a compressor for smooth sound modulation, a noise gate for eliminating unwanted noise, and a comprehensive I/O for versatile connectivity. It's an all-in-one tone tank for your bass guitar, designed to deliver superior sound quality in a rugged, pedalboard-friendly package.
The Ground Lift Button allows you to control the connection to the ground, while the VOL Knob sets the master output level of the pedal. The BASS, LO MID, HI MID, and TREBLE Knobs let you boost or cut frequencies to shape your sound. The COMPRESSOR Knob determines the intensity of the compression, while the GATE Knob sets the threshold for the noise gate.
The LEVEL Knob sets the output level of the distortion section, and the BLEND Knob controls the mix between dry and distorted signal. The DRIVE Knob affects the intensity of the distortion, and the TONE Knob cuts the high end from the distortion signal.
The XLR Jack outputs a balanced signal, and the OUTPUT Jack outputs the signal, dry or affected based on the bypass status. The Footswitch engages or bypasses the distortion circuit, and the BYPASS Footswitch toggles between effect mode and bypass. The DISTORTION PRE/POST/DRY EQ Switch determines where the distortion circuit falls in the pedal's signal path.
The -10dB Pad Button cuts the input signal by 10dB, perfect for active basses or other basses with strong output signals. The DRY OUTPUT Jack outputs a dry, unaffected version of your bass signal.
In summary, the Electro-Harmonix Battalion Bass Preamp and DI Pedal is a versatile, high-quality, and user-friendly tool for any musician seeking to enhance their sound.
