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.

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
