Product Overview
The Simplifier Bass Station by DSM & Humboldt caters to bassists seeking to blend direct and miked signals for rich tonal texture. Modeled on the SVT, it offers a clean interface with three EQ bands and adjustable mid frequencies. Cab simulation, virtual resonance, and mic controls enhance versatility. It allows real-time wet/dry blending, independent XLR outputs for mixing, and features dual FX loops. A parallel lowpass filter prevents signal clashes, while a Parallel Phase switch counters phase issues. Ideal for amp-free gigs, the Simplifier Bass Station delivers comprehensive tonal control.
