ZVEX Basstortion | Bass Distortion & Overdrive Pedal
The ZVEX Basstortion is a dedicated bass distortion pedal designed to give bassists a wide range of driven tones while maintaining the power and definition of the instrument's low end. Rather than simply adapting a guitar distortion circuit for bass, the Basstortion was designed around the requirements of bass players, combining multiple gain stages with active EQ and a selectable voicing circuit. The result is a versatile drive pedal capable of everything from warm, lightly saturated overdrive to aggressive, compressed distortion.
The Basstortion features three gain stages and an active three-band EQ section with Bass, Mid, and Treble controls. A three-position EQ switch provides additional tonal options, while Gain controls the amount of distortion and Volume sets the overall output. The pedal also includes a dedicated Clean control that allows the clean signal to be blended with the distorted sound, helping retain clarity and low-end definition. Built in the USA, the Basstortion is a powerful option for bassists looking for a flexible, high-gain drive pedal.
