Electro Harmonix Battalion Bass Preamp & DI - Secondhand

Full Description

A Compact & Flexible Preamp

The Battalion’s compact size hides its incredibly flexible design, making it perfect for any pedalboard. A wide selection of controls provides powerful tone shaping, while its comprehensive ins and outs allow the pedal to integrate with ay bass rig or application. Two output jacks provide players with a standard output and dry signal output, while the XLR out is perfect for directly interfacing with equipment. The XLR also features dedicated level, bypass, ad ground lift controls for further adjustments to your setup.

Excellent Tone shaping Capabilities

A wide range of controls provides excellent tone shaping capabilities, ensuring bass players can dial in the perfect tone for any situation. A 4-band EQ offers control over the bass, lo mids, hi mids, and treble frequencies, letting players find the sweet spot for any playing style. Switching on the pedals compressor adds a thump and sustain to the overall sound, and the noise gate helps eliminate any unwanted noise and hum while preserving the attack and original tone of your bass.

Fully Features MOSFET Distortion Section

Not only can players find the perfect sound for their playing style, but the Battalion pedal also offers a powerful distortion section for adding extra dynamics and dimensions to their sound. The MOSFET design lends EHX's signature distortion tones to the pedal, capable of producing Muff-esque heavier distortion or near-transparent overdrive, versatility is one of the Battalion's strong suits. Level, blend, drive, and tone knobs offer all you need to dial in a range of distorted tone, with a 3-way switch to select different signal options. Switching to Pre EQ, the distortion is set before the pedals EQ, allowing players to shape the distorted sound via the 4-band EQ and create a range of different tonal characters. Setting it to post EQ sets the distortion after the pedals EQ, allowing players to shape the dry signal before it reaches the distortion. Dry EQ makes the pedals Eq only affect the blended dry signal, allowing players to heavily EQ their signal without affecting the distortion. This mode is perfect for simulating dual-amp or dual-channel setups.
