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.
