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

Effect 100% analog, filter + overdrive (very pushed)
Not ditable
1 In, 1 Out, 1 Power .....
1 Sensitivity knob, 1 mini Disto Switch On-Off, 1 On-Off Switch Effect

USE

It is simple and clear, easy to use.

SOUND QUALITY

I use a bass or electric bass, always works is impressive .... an old but still NEWS effect.
Besides, I realize that it is in the cover of the electric bass .... this is significant: I think it's over .... it is the most crazy! !dropoff Window !dropoff Window My 2 friends love saxophonists (1 or 2 pieces .... after the surprise is pass ...)

NOTICE GLOBAL

Used purchased 55 euros, I rachterais course, I tried the Ibanez SB7, so nice, but less radical, the BassBalls is anything but discreet use as Super Glue .. . sparingly!
Veritable bypass .... my faith .... He eats when even some of her when I do not use it between two pieces, I prefer to remove the ... . but good!

Voil I think I have given my background ... think for that price, no inquitude, no risk, the same way, there is the possibility to change two parameters, there are trims in the box .... I believe that site name is lower ...
Grooves good! !dropoff Window !dropoff Window !dropoff Window

Revoil me after a few months the BassBalls works perfectly well, she is all evenings .... variety (funky stuff, disco ...) and jazz (jazz when djant ..... even the purists probably turn my back ....), so why Revoil me ????
Ben because I contributed a few changes this purpose:
1: I dplac the switch Disto, I put the foot via a DPDT ... a hole about 8 mm, a little welding and presto! This makes two sounds at the bottom in addition to the activation of the effect with or without distortion.

2: I pos 2 knobs that contrlent dornavant 2 filters .... 100000 sonorits diffrentes ... well we exploit the box!

It's easy carry, care must be all the same disassemble a lot of stuff .... so gaffe!

I intend to keep it the same if I'm not a tent EBS Iq .... see ...

Bye.

?? not to much, less than 100$

This thing is a great pedal. It is not really much of a wah, but its got its own unique sound thats kind of funky. It goes great with funk and i like the way it sounds in latin too. If you are looking for a wah, don't get it. If you are looking for just a cool sound get it. I love the way it sounds with the distortion on. It is so simple to use it did not even have a manual.

The only thing I don't like is that this pedal sounds really bad when you try and use a manual wah over it when you put the distortion on. If you keep the distortion off and wah over it, it sounds neat.

No comment. This is as sturdy as they come.

This is a cool pedal but not much of a wah no majaor problems or dislikes here.

I wanted to add some new sounds to my bass playing.
I paid $25 for used one. It's the 80's US original.


unique sound great for funk.
doesn't cut low-end.
i love both distorted and clean envelope filter modes.


there is little noise coming from the unit.


solidly made of steel. no problems with the unit even it's about 20 years old.


it was one of my best music deals.

I play acid jazz music and some funk stuff, too. I use Fender Jazz Bass V and Ampeg B100R combo.
The unit works perfectly for me. It's even useful for guitar.
If it was lost stolen I would definitely buy another one.

As I understand, EHX use two envelope filters that work in opposition. Everything RULES potentiomtre and a single switch on / off for the distortion.

The on / off switch s'opre with a true bypass!

Only BMOL the 9v connector is the mini-jack, not compatible with standard power supplies, then remove the soldering iron!

UTILIZATION

Plus there is no simple ... it's ultra easy!

SOUND QUALITY

So the funky!

I do not use too much distortion as it eats the grave, but I love the filters!

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent, from the power supply, everything is perfect ... the distortion might be a MRIT potentiomtre, but hey, I was on my heads.

I prfre the pedals my Q-Tron, Obviously it's different, but the bassball gives an effect in the same line but more suited bass, scratch pr freront far the Q-Tron I think.

See Opinion of Grein, very complete.
8, because it would have been nice to be able to trigger the distortion with the foot (easily, I mean, because I do it anyway, no, no, not get scared, I am careful in my little selector !...)

UTILIZATION

Use could not be more simple and intuitive

SOUND QUALITY

I mainly use the balls on bass guitars. Eeeeh yes! And well, no offense to bassists jealous , it can sound really, really, but then great!
May sound, because it depends on the guitar, actually. Historically, I discovered in bassball in repeated to prepare a concert of free jazz-noise-groove, and I had a Gibson L4 jazz, and there I was, "boarf, vouaisff it ... pffourstr mggngngnfr ... ... a little, and disto? ah? ah? mwouais is skrtstre mnon ... ... " therefore mixed. But with the guitar the other guitar player, well it did! So what, chsais to play or what?
I still ordered for the price affordable, telling me it will always be on my bass (ouioui, I am jealous as a bassist). And trying on my other Guitres (notably my Start), I love the sounds it produces insane!
By varying the sensitivity knob, you come to find something very fragile, on the verge of cracking, something that vibrates, which wavers between major release of acute or stay holed up in his den with his hair! (Or as a funky sound, eh, it's also for that). you can have a sound very nasal, skinned, especially after an overdrive. I also use coupled with a delay and a rotovibe to ... .. yes ma'am bubbles, bubbles!
With the distortion, we get a kind of wild animal roar of the mountains, something like "wywywiiiaaaooouuurrrrrrrglglgll !!!!.. oourglourglrglrgl !!... glgl" and that, it is still an effect.
And suddenly, yes, I prefer this over a scratch on a bass, because it eats less bass, just (for a low end, it's stupid, though, huh? ... Well, n ' exaggerate anything, it's not a low-cut either! it's huge on bass too)
I do not know if other things have the same effect, but I can make that 10, because everything is readable, nothing too!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 2 years, I love its originality, simplicity, the potential wide sound, the sound type "but from where it comes out, this thing ?!?".
An effect quite "inspiring" in the end.
Quality / price ratio: well I know how much it costs them to manufacture, but it's still cheap and strong.
I can totally do without this, but I admit that it rarely comes out of my pedal board.
9 for the taking "mini-jack", and the slight loss of bass distortion, but that's quibbling.

This is a filter, simply turn the knob to raise or lower the importance of this famous magic filter. There is also a distortion that makes outon effect can a dirty but it goes well for serious or Funkadelic's Bootsy Collins ...

UTILIZATION

Very simple as I explain above, there is a button to turn until you find the desired sound.

SOUND QUALITY

GONN YOU 'GET Funked UP!
Funky wish. I think it will do better level filter, here we are at the top level.
Whether it's with a p-bass, a jazz bass or a stingray, it's extremely difficult!

OVERALL OPINION

Buy the!
