Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The TranZformer LLX places API EQ circuitry in a compact bass-guitar pedal. Its three bass-specific controls provide continuously variable boost or cut through a 15 dB range, and the gain stage switches from Clean Boost to Overdrive to drive the input OpAmp. It also includes transformer output, buffered bypass, a selectable upper-band peak/shelf option, and support for either 9V or 18V DC pedal power.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bass pedalboards needing three dedicated EQ frequencies with selectable clean boost or overdrive.
- Bass setups powered by a 9V or 18V DC supply capable of 100 mA.
