Ovaltone is a Kanagawa-based effects brand that has gained popularity worldwide.
Their handmade products are renowned for their high quality and are favored by top professionals such as Teppei Kawasaki, Mana Iwanaga, and Hidetaka Sasaki.
This is the Heavy Blow, the brand's first overdrive pedal designed specifically for bass.
In addition to the basic controls of GAIN, VOLUME, and TONE, it features a PRE GAIN knob in the center of the unit and CLIP and DEEP switches on the top.
The clean mix does not use the common method of splitting the signal and then mixing it, but rather controls the proportion of clean components in the main drive with the PRE GAIN knob.
This minimizes separation between the clean and drive sounds, resulting in a unified sound from low to high frequencies.
This is a major feature and one of the company's attractions.
In addition, by internally boosting the voltage to 30V, it outputs clear low end and brilliant high end.
It can be used not only as a drive pedal, but also as a preamp with added saturation, or even as a fuzz pedal for a more versatile sound.
This is a must-have product for bassists who appreciate distortion sounds.
