Lusithand Ground & Pound
A versatile bass distortion pedal inspired by Justin Chancellor's tone.
Overview
The Ground & Pound is Lusithand's take on a gritty, distinct, distorted bass sound. It offers a full frequency spectrum, providing a full-bodied and cutthroat tone. While inspired by a specific artist's sound, it is designed to be a versatile tool for various playing styles.
Features
The pedal features a unique EQZ tilt control, borrowed from the "Alma Comp" design. This control, centered around 250Hz, allows for adjustments to the low and high frequencies. Clockwise rotation boosts frequencies above the tilt point while attenuating those below. Anti-clockwise rotation boosts frequencies below the tilt point while attenuating those above. At the 12 o'clock position, there is no tonal coloration.
The "MIX" control allows blending between the clean and distorted signals. The clean signal incorporates light compression (2:1 ratio), adding feel to the playing and a tube amp-like quality without excessive tonal coloring.
The "VOL" control adjusts the overall volume.
The "DIS" control adjusts the amount of gain on the distorted signal.
