Oso

The Oso by Heavy Electronics is a bass distortion pedal designed to deliver heavy tones with precision and simplicity. It features three intuitive knobs: Level, Mix, and Gain. The Mix knob allows for blending the distortion with the dry signal, providing 100% dry or 100% distorted output when turned to the extreme positions. The distortion top-end is rolled off and contoured to reduce harshness commonly found in bass distortion pedals.

The Oso is suitable for stage-performing bassists, offering a deep palette of bass distortion tones. Its high gain and low mix settings produce a different sound compared to low gain and mix, despite being dynamically similar. The pedal is designed for ease of use, allowing users to "find the tone" within seconds.
