All user reviews of 4/5 for the Electro-Harmonix BassBalls (Original & Reissue)

A potion with a phaser switch disto
A big knob of intensity of the effect
Socket therefore requires a suitable power supply.
A little big (as always with EH) but sturdy.

UTILIZATION

C clear that we will not play a whole song to BB but for the timely boost = Ouuuuuuuuuh It's too funky in here!! as James would say.
Operation is simple over: a filter in the light phasing, CLIC with the distortion and right calf and left for the intensity. That's it.
OCCAZ not bought a manual but I do not know if there is one, even new.
In order to balance the funk that kills, you need this pedal (among others)

SOUND QUALITY

The effectiveness of the effect of your settings will and feeling of your game
This is a filter then you have to play clean, be it sounds. Do not blame the filter if c dégeu.
I use it with a bass. My favorite setting is =
Disto engaged and the wheel 2 / 6 of the race. No more or it gets rough and especially more so acute cooler. I like it hot.
Fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, to give you an idea, it is the effect used by Sir Psycho Sexy Flea on the album Blood Sugar Sex Magik (if you do not know this album because you know that Californication and By the Way =====> Get outta here Man!)

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 6 / 7 months. Purchase without any regret.
C not very expensive. At worst there is a Russian version even cheaper.
I tried it one time and when I returned to the store, I bought it.
This is a funky thing.
Sold in December 06 as the duplicate of Rocktron Heart Attack

The Electro-Harmonix Bassballs USA is an envelope follower pedal, designed for use with both bass guitar and electric guitar. I've only used the pedal with bass guitar, so I won't be speaking about it's use with electric guitar here. The pedal has 1/4" TRS jacks for input and output and can be powered by a nine volt power supply. It isn't rackable as it is a stomp box.

UTILIZATION

Using the Electro-Harmonix Bassballs USA is very simple, as it only has a few parameters to control, and they're really the only ones you need on this as the pedal kind of does its thing by itself. The pedal has a large knob for setting the sensitivity, and a switch for adding a bit of distortion, and that's all you've got here. The sensitivity will make a big difference if you set it to three or nine o'clock. The distortion isn't all that heavy, but will definitely add some low overdrive to your sound. A manual isn't necessary unless you're having a technical problem, which it most likely won't be able to help you with anyway...

SOUND QUALITY

The Electro-Harmonix Bassballs USA is perfect for getting some simple, consistent, filtering going on in your bass rig. While I'm primarily a guitarist, I've played with a bass player who had this, and is definitely added a cool vibe whenever we would use it in this studio. I'm sure that it works very well with electric guitar as well, but like I said earlier I never tried it out so I can't say so fur sure. If you'd like some simple filter/wah type tones for your bass rig, the Baseballs is most likely what you're looking for.

OVERALL OPINION

Because the tone of the Electro-Harmonix Bassballs USA is so cool, I don't even mind having very little control over it. It isn't the sort of pedal that I would use all of the time, or even a fraction of the time, but when it does prove to useful it can really shine. The price is very reasonable, but they no longer make this version of the Baseballs, so you'll have to seek out a used one, which won't be hard to do. In general I'm not a big fan of effects on bass guitar, but the Electro-Harmonix Bassballs USA is definitely an exception.
