Blackheath - High-Calibre Triple-Mode Distortion Pedal for Bass
Designed specifically to retain low-end punch while offering flexible distortion character, the Blackheath gives you the clarity and depth required for bass-centric genres – from deep R&B grooves to punchy alternative and even trap beats with attitude. With three selectable modes (DIST 1, DIST 2 & OVERDRIVE), you can dial in classic stomp-box crunch, tube-like saturation or subtle drive for adding character.
Rock-solid build & transparent signal path
Housed in a sturdy metal chassis and featuring fully buffered operation, this pedal ensures your signal integrity stays intact whether you’re running clean into distortion or stacking into preamps. Silent switching and a tri-colour LED let you perform confidently on stage or in the studio.
Flexible controls for tonal sculpting
With four main controls – Gain, Range, Colour and Volume – you’ve got powerful tools to shape your distorted tone. Want maximum growl? Increase Range to keep the low end thick. Need tight mids and clarity? Use Colour to sculpt accordingly. Consequently, the Blackheath adapts well whether you’re in a hybrid studio setup or playing live.
