O2 Oxygen Bass Preamp
Preamplifier for bass
The O2 Oxygen Bass Preamp is a must have on a bass player pedal board.
With its efficient and sensitive five control knobs it allows you to deliver YOUR tone – whether on stage or in the studio.
The internal “BASS BOOST” switch allows you to squeeze more bass from the O2 while the “MID SHIFT” switch allows instant selection of one of two distinct tones: deep warm and smooth, or hard, fast and responsive. Both modes are delivered dynamically and with great definition.
Every note will be sculpted with the O2 Bass Preamplifier.

Andy Attanasio
Brooklyn-born bass player member of The Slim Kings.The oxygen 02 bass preamp gives me the ability to quickly dial in my sound for a studio or live situation. Lots of low end that sounds natural, and the mode switch is great for a quick midrange boost when i want to cut through the mix.

He have a Bass Solo performance and is recording a Solo Album.Ho sempre avuto bisogno di questo preamp, sia dal vivo che in studio. Versatilissimo sia sul basso elettrico che sul contrabbasso, sia finendo in un amplificatore che in un PA (e in entrambi). Grandissimo suono e parametri chiari ed efficacissimi. Ho usato in passato altri preamp a pedale come il Sans Amp o il bass metaphors di Ehx ma l’O2 ha una marcia in più.

He has played for JJ Rosa, Odyssey, Laura White, Boy Matthews and Tokyo Taboo to name a few. He is also a founder member and co-writer for UK funk rock outfit - Circus VIII / Circus VIII‘I was recommended the O2 preamp by fellow endorser David Kyle Pane and have never looked back, particularly on gigs using IEM’s the character and warmth it adds to my bass is incredible. I also use the Smoking Bass distortion for a smooth crunchy boost. It nails the sweet spot between clean and Big Muff levels of craziness.’

Z-PRO Buffer
Professional buffer for pedalboard
Prodotto aggiunto al tuo carrello.Visualizza carrello 
 |
Professional buffer for guitar and bass.
The Z-PRO, connected between instrument and amplifier or effects chain is able to keep unaltered the tone colour of the instrument thanks to a perfect impedance matching. Particularly useful when the connection between instrument and amplifier/mixer is considerably long (over 4 m) or the effects chain is composed of true bypass pedals. The Z-PRO Buffer does not need to be activated, as it does not introduce gain but only adjusts the impedance. Therefore it is recommended to keep it permanently switched on. Thanks to its small size (38 X 92 mm) it can be included into any pedalboard.

Ho provato il VT Comp sul mio Datum Bass Fretless e da allora non ne posso fare a meno. Controllo dinamico perfetto e suono caldissimo.
Andy Attanasio

Steam Bass Analog Chorus
Analog chorus for bass
The Nemphasis household would have not been complete without the most classic and beautiful modulation pedal for electric bass.
Steam Bass: the analog chorus for bass built without compromise so as to be able to satisfy even the most demanding of bass players!
The sound is extremely dynamic, focused and controlled not to miss even the smallest detail of execution, but at the same time fascinating and “dreamlike” thanks to the analog circuitry and the use of a Bucket Brigade device.
Find your sound is easy with the the efficients controls on the Steam Bass.
In addition to the classic Speed and Depth controls, the Steam Bass has an FX Level knob allowing for a fine adjustment of the amount of the effected. This permits you to range from a hint of chorus, to a loaded and vibrant sound, well appreciated by experimental and ambient music lovers. Yet we were not entirely satisfied as we wanted your bass to retain precision at extremely low frequencies. This was achieved by means of the “HPF” – High-Pass Filter – switch through which you can select the frequency point of the high-pass filter with a slope of 6db/oct connected on the effected line path: L for less bass frequency attenuation, H for more bass frequency attenuation.
Steam Bass? Demanded by your pedalboard.
