Heavy Electronics Releases El Oso Bass Distortion
Heavy Electronics has released a new bass distortion pedal named El Oso, which translates to “the bear.” The pedal is built for heavy tone and simplicity with only three intuitive knobs: Level, Mix, and Gain.
El Oso’s distortion is blended with your dry signal via the Mix knob, which gives 100% dry or 100% distorted when turned either way to the extreme. Heavy Electronics explains that the distortion top-end is rolled off and contoured to reduce the harshness found in most bass distortion pedals.
The pedal includes true bypass switching with a JFET input signal buffer to match impedances.
The Heavy Electronics El Oso is available now with a street price of $149. For more info, visit the Heavy Electronics website.
