Amianto Bass Distortion - Human Gear Animato clone

The Amianto Bass Distortion produces a rich, articulate, and aggressive sound that can range from a gritty overdrive to a full-blown, saturated fuzz with a distinctive "growl" and "bite." At its core is a distortion pedal that leans heavily into fuzz territory with a crucial addition: a treble booster at the front end.
This unique combination results in a tone that is both saturated and articulate, with a distinctive "twangy" and "ripping" quality. While it can produce a range of sounds from a warm overdrive to a full-blown, saturated fuzz, it is best known for its more intense settings.
The pedal is characterized by a prominent and aggressive midrange which allows it to cut through a mix effectively. This is complemented by a smooth top end, avoiding the harsh, "fizzy" highs that can plague some high-gain pedals. However, a significant characteristic of the Amianto Bass Distortion, is its Blend control to reintroduce the clean, unaffected bass signal and restore the fundamental low frequencies.

The Amianto Bass Distortion features a straightforward and intuitive four-knob layout:

• Level: Controls the overall output level of the pedal.
• Distortion: Adjusts the amount of saturation and sustain.
• Tone: Shapes the equalization of the distorted signal, offering a wide sweep from dark and smooth to bright and cutting.
• Blend: A crucial feature for bass players. The Blend control mixes the clean, unaffected bass signal back in, restoring the fundamental low frequencies that the distortion circuit tends to cut.

The pedal is also equipped with true bypass switching, ensuring that the instrument's signal remains unaltered when the effect is disengaged.
Amianto Bass Distortion is housed in a durable metal chassis, typically with a distinctive yellow finish and simple black and red text for the control labels. Built to be exceptionally durable with a simple, no-frills aesthetic, is a pedal for musicians seeking a truly distinctive and dynamic distortion tone that is both musical and aggressive.
