Upgrade everything with Sonic Stomp, the one piece of gear which improves the performance of your whole rig. Whether youre a guitarist or bassist, get ready to be amazed. With Sonic Stomps proprietary BBE Sonic Maximizer technology, youll hear your amp cut through the band mix better with dramatically improved note definition in chords and solos. Even with a wall of distortion, the distinct harmonic elements of each note can be heard like never before. Time-based effects take on a level of realism and dimension you never thought possible. And if low-end punch is your thing, youll discover the Lo Contour control is the ticket to meaty chunk without the mud. Rack mount BBE Sonic Maximizer processors have been the secret weapon of musicians for years, with each generation of the BBE technology offering more for musicians to discover in their tone. While rack-mount models such as the 482i Sonic Maximizer are a staple for many touring musicians with sophisticated rigs, a rack device isnt practical for many musicians. Enter Sonic Stomp, packing the same BBE technology into a pedal for musicians who prefer simple rigs. Its buffered input happily accepts either the input of your instrument or the output of another pedal (Sonic Stomp should be used last in the pedal chain), making Sonic Stomp as easy to use as any other pedal. Just plug it in, dial the knobs to your taste and enjoy. Sonic Stomps application of the BBE technology is just like its big brothers, using frequency-dependent time alignment with integrated amplitude compensation. Whats all that about? Simply put, it helps a speaker more faithfully reproduce the signal so more of the nuance and detail is revealed. Sonic Stomp is not an effect but a tool to allow more of your tone to reach the ears of your audience and yours.Sonic Maximizer technology for clarity and punch Lo Contour and Process controls 1MEG Ohms input impedance for proper pickup loading 1K Ohms output impedance when engaged 1% metal-film resistors for consistency High-voltage poly caps for better tone Military-spec circuit board for reliability Blue status LED for high visibility and low power consumption Easy access battery compartment 9V battery, AC adaptor included (North America only) True hardwire bypass
