Radial Tonebone Bassbone 2 Channel Controller Pedal
According to Radial company president Peter Janis: “Today, most bass players use at least two basses on stage to perform. This typically includes one active bass and one passive instrument. The problem is that every time they change bass, they have to change the settings on their amp to compensate for the other instrument. This is both tiresome and frustrating as they do not have the time during a busy set to get the sound they want and as such, are forced to make do.”

The Bassbone features two ultra-clean signal channels with individual level controls to adjust each instrument as needed. Channel-1 can be used flat or can be enhanced with a choice of two contour curves. Normally, the primary bass is connected to input-1. EQ and primary tone shaping is set at the amplifier for this particular instrument. Input-2 is designed for the 2nd bass and features a very powerful EQ that allows the player to 'shape' the sound of the 2nd bass so that it sounds right with the same EQ settings. Channel-2 controls include instrument level and low, mid and high EQ settings. A toggle footswitch allows the musician to select between inputs 1 & 2. To add versatility, if a player only uses one bass, the toggle selector switch routes input-1 to either channel-1 or channel-2 thus adding a greater degree of performance flexibility with true 'dual-mode' control. But wait there's more! The Bassbone also has a boost circuit, Class-A of course, for soloing that applies on both channels. This is outfitted with a selector switch that can assign the foot switch to insert an effect-loop or insert both the effect loop and the boost circuit. This way, the player could add a bit of boost to his signal with a flanger plus echo at the same time without having to 'tap-dance' his way through a bunch of pedals.

The Bassbone also incorporates a tuner output and a direct XLR balanced out for the PA system. This allows the musician to use the Bassbone without an amp for small, club gigs. Like all Radial Tonebone products, the Bassbone features robust steel construction, baked enamel finish and heavy-duty foot switches. LED indicators for input / channel toggle select and boost on-off provide clear signal routing status.
