About Rolls FX953

Let the FX953 "Bad Bass Preamp" pedal, a highly versatile and professional-grade preamplifier pedal, unlock a universe of innovative sonic possibilities for your music. Crafted from our in-depth expertise in biasing amplifiers and preamps, the FX953 offers the unique ability to intentionally over or under bias a circuit, resulting in dramatic alterations in sound quality.

With the FX953, musicians can safely and accurately navigate this sonic frontier, eliminating any risk of equipment damage or unwanted voltage surges. Initially designed for bass guitar applications, this pedal's compatibility extends to any guitar, making it an indispensable asset for crafting your distinctive sound.

Our specially designed class A preamplifiers meticulously emulate the characteristics of tube amplification under both over and under bias conditions, offering a rich and immersive audio experience. The FX953 also boasts an LPF (Low Pass Filter) engineered to mimic the unique tonal qualities of various bass guitar cabinets.

At its heart, this pedal's primary function is to intentionally manipulate circuit bias, leading to a desired effect. This manipulation can result in significant and potentially dramatic changes in sound level and distortion, typically enhancing the overall sound. However, the bias manipulation can be extreme, causing the signal to shift to one extreme and nearly disappear.

This intentional design feature allows users to explore the full spectrum of bias shift effects. Please note that using this pedal can yield a wide range of outcomes, some highly favorable and others that may be considered "Bad Bass Preamp". The FX953 Bad Bass Preamp Pedal, with its sleek, modern design and reputable brand backing, is your ticket to a world of unique and creative soundscapes.
