"Save your money! Don't buy it!"

Feature:
XLR , ground lift were nice features etc but the pedal didnt do what they said it'd do.

Quality:
...since it makes my entire rig hum like a bee hive, well um yea the quality sucks.

Value:
NO. NOT WORTH IT!

Desirability:
How would I rate the sex appeal? What a dumb question lol!? Well if thats what u want, then this pedal is a flaming homosexual!

Sound:
Didn't do anything noticeable except impart a 60 cycle hum into my rig. Besides that I'd say this pedal barely did anything to my sound- it certainly wasn't Exciting(pun intended)!

Ease of Use:
How easy is it to get great sounds from this pedal? Very hard unless u count a 5db gain which any preamp would do better.

Support:
n/a

Overall:
I already sold it to another sucker!

Docs
The Models 1401 through 1403 are specially designed for amplified music instruments. The world famous Aural Exciter(tm) and Big Bottom(tm) have been condensed into a small battery powered case that can be taken anywhere. The 3 models are voiced especially for the class of instrument -- acoustic, bass or guitar. They share everything in common -- all features, controls, etc. -- except specific differences in tonality that best complement the class of instrument.

Model 1402 Bass
For all types of basses with magnetic or piezo pickups, active or passive. Voicing is tailored for deep tone and sustain while adding life to the bite or slap. Gives great action response and speeds up the attacks. Makes smaller bass rigs sound much bigger. Gives big rigs real thunder.

Proprietary Circuitry
Aural Exciter(tm)
Countless albums and CD's owe part of their success to the Aphex Aural Exciter It's been a 'secret weapon? of top producers and artists for over 24 years. This patented process adds transient discriminate harmonic details to the sound - without turning it into distortion. If you want distortion, then use any distortion effect you like. The Aural Exciter will still add something good. No other so-called 'exciter' or 'maximizer' even comes close to the genuine Aphex Aural Exciter. You're going to hear that for yourself.

Big Bottom(tm)
Not a sub-synth, or static boost, Big Bottom is a smart system that adapts and improves what's already there. Speakers gain an extension of their low end, yet amplifiers and speakers are not overloaded. You get better sustain, but still get all the transient punch. Beyond bass, however, Big Bottom adds warmth and roundness to any instrument. Optical Big Bottom is the latest technology advancement using an optical compression device for smoother and punchier control.
