About the Glorious Basstar sound

How many times have you plugged your bass into an overdrive pedal and being deceived by the

output sound : no more bass, too compressed, loss of precision, not violent enough, too muddy...

he glorious basstar can fix all these problems.

o do so, the Glorious Basstar cuts the signal in three frequencies bands : bass/mids/trebles. Each

band can then be saturated independently and mixed according to your taste. One can get a very

large choices of sounds with a bass guitar. By choosing to saturate one band or another and then

mix them with cleans band you can get back your bass, attack, precision and grain. It's all up to

you:

By saturating the bass, you'll get acid fuzz distortion.

By saturating the mids, you'll get vintage overdrive tones.

By saturating the trebles, you'll get more modern overdrive.

By adding clean bass, you'll get back subs in your tone.

By adding clean mids, you'll get back bite.

By adding clean trebles, you'll get back attack.

But you can choose to overdrive more or less each band, it's up to you to choose what fits you

best.

o begin I suggest you setup everything at 0, except tone with 100% treble and a fair amount of

volume (75%). he turn up the volume to listen to each band one by one in clean. hen listen to

each band adding more and more gain...

he Glorious Basstar can also be used as a 3 bands equalizer or a booster if you don't overdrive any

band.

What are these knobs for?

Each band (B/M/ ) has two knobs:

Gain: With this knob you can adjust the overdrive gain of the band. It goes from clean to very

saturated.

Volume: he three bands are then mixed back together. his knob choose the blend of each band

in the final mix. It goes from 0 to 100%. If some gain has been setup on that band, don't go upper

than 60% (see “A very important word” chapter).

The mid switch: allows to choose the frequency of the mid band. But each 3 band are tied

together: if 400Hz is chosen for the mid band, the bass band will end at 400Hz and the treble band

will begin at 400Hz. 3 Frequencies are available: 200Hz, 400Hz and 800Hz. his setting is

important for your sound and the voicing of your distortion. For example at 200Hz the bass band

will add subs, whereas at 800Hz it will have a bit more mids in it.

wo commons settings are applied after mix:

Tone: Allows to remove treble and darken your sound. urn clockwise to remove trebles.

Volume: his is the general volume of the pedal. It goes from 0 to +2000% (+26dB). Yes, you can

use it as a boost.

And then, surprise! here are more switches inside the pedal. You'll need a screw drivers to open

the back of the pedal and find 3 blue pairs of dip switches. hese 3 pairs can change the grain of

each band's overdrive. For each pair the settings are the following:

ON/ON: A pair of diodes is used to overdrive the sound, it gives a tight fuzzy overdrive, but with

not a lot of headroom.

OFF/OFF: A pair of led is used to overdrive the sound (you may see them blink while playing if you

push the gain at 100%), it has more headroom than diodes, but the grain is a bit harsher.

ON/OFF or OFF/ON: It's a mix of both diode and led. It's very cool.

Here a picture of the blue dip switches inside the enclosure:

A very important word

If you setup a bit of gain on a band, like 30%, specially in led mode, and crank the band volume up,

you'll overdrive the output stage, that might sound interesting, but in most cases, you don't want

to do that. If you overdrive a band, I strongly recommend not have it's volume knob upper than

60%. Remember that all is relative on this pedal and you can still push the global volume up if

needed.
