The DDyna Music BASS10 is a compressor pedal aimed at bass players, announced by DDyna Music in July 2010 as the first pedal in the company's GainShaper Series. Alongside its compression, it includes a switchable overdrive, making it a two-in-one dynamics and drive unit for a bass rig.1
What it does
The BASS10's compression is built around four bandpass filters, which the announcement describes as being "for dialing entire bands of frequencies in or out." For a bass player, that means the compression can be steered toward or away from particular parts of the spectrum rather than applied evenly across the whole signal, which is a common approach on compressors designed with bass in mind.1
The pedal's overdrive side uses what DDyna Music calls Dual Level Limiting with an adjustable strength lower level. It is switchable, so the drive can be engaged or disengaged from the compression independently.1
"It also includes a switchable overdrive that utilizes Dual Level Limiting with an adjustable strength lower level."
Power and setup
The BASS10 is pure analog with true bypass switching, so the signal passes through unaltered when the pedal is off. It operates on 12 to 18VDC and ships with a power adapter.1
Availability and price
DDyna Music announced the BASS10's release in July 2010 at a street price of $289.1
