Bass Effects

Abyss

The Abyss by KHDK Electronics is a bass overdrive pedal designed for bass players seeking full control over their sound. It features bi-amp technology with two discrete circuits, dividing the signal into two paths. One path retains the dynamic and color of the original sound, while the other adds an overdriven sound with fullness and punch. When the circuits reconnect, the result is a more powerful, fuller, and richer original sound. The pedal offers the following controls: \- DIRTY: Controls the amount of distorted signal in the tone. \- CLEAN: Controls the original sound and adds volume without altering the tone. \- TREBLE: A passive, natural-sounding low-pass filter with a wide frequency range for adjusting the high end. \- LO/HI: Offers warm, tube-like boost and subtle crunchy overdrive in the low setting, and adds saturation, sustain, low end, and compression in the high setting. \- GAIN: Sets preamp gain and affects the amount of compression and sustain. Technical specifications include: \- Bypass mode: True Bypass \- Dimensions: 120 x 65 x 40 mm deep (Width x Depth x Height) \- Input Connector: Standard ¼” jack – mono/TS \- Output Connector: Standard ¼” jack – mono/TS \- Power Input: Standard 9V Battery or 9V DC (center negative) power supply The Abyss is crafted and quality-tested in Kentucky, USA and is powered by a single 9V battery, with the option to use an external 9V DC power supply.

Distortion

Dark Blood

The Dark Blood by KHDK Electronics is a high-gain distortion pedal designed for gain enthusiasts, suitable for palm muting riffs and searing high-gain solos. Its tube-like, mid-heavy tone with added high gain delivers an amp-like sound. The pedal is built on KHDK's original circuit, combining solid-state and MOSFET technology, with a treble booster added to the front end of the circuit to push the tone to the limit. Technical Specifications: \- Bypass mode: True Bypass \- Dimensions: 120 x 65 x 40 mm (Width x Depth x Height) \- Input Connector: Standard ¼” jack – mono/TS \- Output Connector: Standard ¼” jack – mono/TS \- Power Input: Standard 9V Battery or 9V DC (center negative) power supply Controls: 1\. GAIN: Controls the gain of the circuit, offering pick-sensitive tones with excellent dynamics or massively overdriven tones. 2\. DOOM: Determines the amount of low-end grunt present in the tone, ranging from tight bass to long sustain. 3\. VOLUME: Sets the output volume of the pedal. 4\. TREBLE: A passive, natural-sounding low-pass filter that cuts high-end frequencies. 5\. HI/LO switch: Offers a choice between massive chunky overdrive for rhythm playing (Lo setting) and more saturation, sustain, low end, and compression for soloing (Hi setting). 6\. GATE: Controls the background noise of the tone, allowing the stronger gain signal to pass while blocking weaker humming or hissing. 7\. FOOTSWITCH: Engages the Dark Blood to "on" or True Bypass mode. Power: The Dark Blood is powered by a single 9V battery or an external 9V DC (center negative) power supply. The pedal is proudly crafted and quality-tested in Kentucky, USA.

No. 1 Overdrive

The No. 1 Overdrive by KHDK Electronics is a versatile and bold pedal designed in the spirit of an overdriven tube amp. It features two gain controls which cascade the gain stages for a rich and harmonic overdrive. Gain one controls the first gain stage from a pure clean boost to a naturally compressing overdrive. Gain two shares one knob with the Bass control, cleverly controlling the gain and the low end of the next gain stage, adding rich harmonics, bottom end, and natural tube-like saturation to the tone. The pedal has a powerful, dynamic character and is pick-sensitive and highly responsive. Technical Specifications: \- Power: The No. 1 Overdrive is powered by a single 9V battery, accessible by unscrewing the bottom plate of the pedal enclosure. Alternatively, it can be powered by an external 9V DC (center negative) power supply. \- Controls: \- Gain: Controls the unity gain of the circuit. \- Volume: Controls the overall output volume of the pedal. \- Hi/Lo Switch: Offers warm, tube-like boost and subtle crunchy overdrive on the Lo setting, and adds saturation, sustain, low end, and compression on the Hi setting. \- Bass: Controls the bass and lower mid-frequency gain, enhancing the low end. \- Treble Control: A passive, natural sounding low-pass filter, offering a wide frequency range. \- Footswitch: Engages the pedal to "on" or True bypass mode. Technology: \- Utilizes KHDK's original true bypass circuit using a special blend of solid-state and mosfet technology. \- Handcrafted and quality-tested in the USA. The No. 1 Overdrive is known for its unique feature of double gain control, providing a wide range of overdriven tones suitable for various musical styles, from barely-breaking-up overdrive to aggressive, dirty rhythm tones and beautiful lead tones. The pedal has received positive feedback from renowned artists and is designed to meet the needs of guitarists seeking a powerful distortion with dynamic tube-like sound.
