A Legacy of Legendary Amps, Reinvented for Bass
ReVolt Bass condenses the signature of three iconic heads: the massive foundation and dynamics of a '70s SVT, the creamy and muscular grain of a British Super Bass, and the precision of a modern high-gain stack. Designed as the heart of a contemporary bass rig, this preamp follows Two notes' line of uncompromising direct recording solutions, delivering the feel and responsiveness of a real tube amp.
For Which Bassist and Use?
From the studio bassist needing a mix-ready sound to the stage musician seeking a reliable and powerful foundation, ReVolt Bass covers a wide range. Funk, rock, pop, metal, gospel, or fusion: the Clean channel provides a clear and full base, "Vintage Dirt" adds an organic bite that cuts through the mix, and "Modern Drive" delivers precise drive, ideal for aggressive lines and dense arrangements. Its pedal format makes it the natural companion for a pedalboard, shared backline, or audio interface.
Features and Foot Control
Each channel has its own gain and volume controls to balance your setups. The Clean channel offers dedicated EQ to shape bass and treble, while channel 3 features a Dry/Wet control to blend direct and saturated signals, ensuring clarity in the low end. The serial effects loop accepts your compressors, chorus, or delays, and MIDI (TRS Type-A) allows channel selection and advanced rig integration. For output, choose the DI XLR for the console and enjoy consistent direct recording in any situation.
The Sound
The character of ReVolt Bass is decidedly "amp-like": natural compression and harmonic richness typical of a 12AX7 tube powered by high voltage. The "Classic Clean" provides a wideband clean tone, firm in the lows and silky in the highs. "Vintage Dirt" adds a smooth and singing grain, perfect for anchoring the bass in the mix. "Modern Drive" emphasizes attack and definition, with generous gain reserve and a Dry/Wet mix that maintains the punch of pick and finger playing alike.
