Product Description
The Filter Twin® pedal is a game - changer for bass guitarists. It uses two opposite - sweeping identical filters, one ascending and one descending in frequency, to deliver classic 70s funk sounds or create brand - new, original filter tones. The simultaneous sweep of the two filters gives a more organic, vocal - like quality, allowing you to produce expressive sounds that other pedals can't offer. With an intuitive four - knob layout, it offers unique filter effects. The BLEND control lets you fine - tune the filter mix. The THRESHOLD control adjusts the unit's sensitivity to different playing styles. The VELOCITY controls set the speed of each filter. Features include separate velocity controls for 'up' and 'down' filters, a blend control for filter mix adjustment, a gig - saver bypass (signal passes even if the battery dies), and a heavy - duty steel construction. Specifications are: one 1/4″ jack for both input and output, BLEND, THRESHOLD, VELOCITY UP, and VELOCITY DOWN controls, a 9V DC power supply (not included), and a current draw of 10 mA.
Using the Aguilar Filter Twin Bass Guitar Effects Pedal is a breeze. First, connect your bass guitar to the 1/4″ input jack and your amplifier to the 1/4″ output jack. Plug in a 9V DC power supply (it's not included, so make sure you have one). Now, start playing around with the controls. Use the BLEND control to adjust how much of each filter is mixed in your sound. The THRESHOLD control can be tweaked according to your playing style; if you play softly, you might want to lower it, and for harder playing, raise it. The VELOCITY UP and VELOCITY DOWN controls let you set the speed of the respective filters. As for the gig - saver bypass, you don't have to worry about losing your signal if the battery dies. Just keep in mind that since it needs a 9V DC power supply, always have a spare one on hand. For maintenance, keep it in a dry place. Wipe it down gently with a soft cloth after use. And don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the heavy - duty steel construction over time.
