Behringer's Bass Brassmaster Fuzz recreates one of the most idiosyncratic pedals of the early fuzzbox era, copping the original's raw and ripping vibe with impeccable vintage authenticity. This pedal's crushing sound may not particularly recall the sound of a brass instrument — the charmingly antiquated purpose of the original model when it was first released in 1972 — yet it does supply both guitarists and bassists with one of the nastiest sounding fuzz tones out there, controlled via the pedal's Sensitivity and Brass Vol. knobs. To temper these thunderous tones, the Bass Brassmaster's Bass Vol. knob blends your clean signal back into the fuzz — a feature often used by bassists, as it sharpens the definition of heavily fuzzed-out lower-position riffs. What's more, the 2-position Brass switch offers an additional midrange-forward voice to slice through the mix, while the Harmonic filter switch toggles between upper harmonics and lower frequencies to swerve between explosive rhythms and searing lead sounds. Complete with a heavy-duty metal enclosure and true bypass switching, the Behringer Bass Brassmaster Fuzz is your chance to capture the chaotic sounds of a true fuzzbox classic.
