Q, Threshold, and Attack Controls
The Threshold and Attack control knobs set how sensitively the pedal responds to your playing. Sensitivity is key to creating a wide range of sounds, from synth-like bass tones to wah effects or sub-bass sounds. A separate control adjusts the Q value to create even more variation in the character of the sound. The higher the Q value, the sharper the effect. All sounds depend on how you set the Q value along with Threshold and Attack.
Up, Up-R, and Down Modes
In Up mode, the pedal responds with a wah effect. Turn the Q knob all the way up for various “quacky” wah sounds (similar to the old BassIQ HiQ mode). Turn the Q knob down for a smoother effect. For a sub-bass sound, use Up mode and turn Threshold all the way down and Attack all the way up. Down mode delivers a variety of synth bass sounds. The Up-R mode works like Up but also interacts with an internal control that changes the envelope effect’s range.
Filters
The three different filter types—full range, bandpass, and low pass—offer three variations of your sound at any time. Find a sound setting you like, then try the different filter options; each one changes the sound’s character.
Internal Controls
Internal trim pots set the pedal’s output gain level; a high-pass mix trim pot adjusts the level of high frequencies cut from the tone to blend with the effect. A third trim pot controls the envelope effect range in the pedal’s Up-R mode. Use these options carefully to perfectly tailor the pedal’s response to your personal needs. The EBS Bass IQ Blue Label now replaces the previous Bass IQ model. The new pedal also features a 12% smaller footprint.
