Description

The Electro Harmonix Bassballs Envelope Filter Black 1990 (pre-owned) is a rare vintage gem among bass pedals.

Thanks to its compact design and simple operation, this pedal is ideal for bassists looking to enrich their sound with a classic and expressive filter effect.

The built-in distortion switch adds extra grit to the sound, allowing you to switch from subtle movement to aggressive, synth-like filter tones at the press of a button. This pre-owned model is in good condition, has been fully tested, and is in proper working order – while maintaining its characteristic warm analog tone.

Whether you play slap or fingerstyle, the Electro Harmonix Bassballs reacts musically and immediately to your dynamics. A unique piece of pedal history that is still perfectly suited for modern bass lines.
