The Empress Bass

From low to high gain, The Empress Bass delivers an organic, touch-sensitive saturation with the grain of a true amp. Its advanced Blend and active 3-band EQ ensure a powerful, defined tone that always cuts through the mix.

The unique circuit of The Empress Bass produces a natural, harmonically rich drive, highly responsive to your playing dynamics.

Its X-FREQ + MIX blend system was specifically designed to solve the issue every bassist faces when chasing heavy saturation: muddy or missing lows.

The Empress Bass brings studio-grade methods into a pedal for a powerful, present bass tone. It lets you push mids and highs into heavy saturation without ever compromising the growl and punch of the low end. The crossover filter preserves phase integrity and guarantees a natural response.

We’ve added a powerful active 3-band EQ and a BITE switch to let you shape your tone with precision and authority.

FROM LOW TO HIGH GAIN, THE EMPRESS WILL ALWAYS FIND ITS PLACE IN YOUR MIX.
