Red Witch Factotum Analog Bass Suboctave Overdrive Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
Fatten up your bass tone with this 2-effects-in-1 Factotum pedal. Individually engage a suboctave effect and an overdrive, both specially tailored for bass.

The Red Witch Factotum Bass Suboctave Drive pedal features two separate effects in one glorious chrome package: the ridiculous might and sub-thumping girth of 100% analog suboctave, and the ultra-dial-able grit of 100% analog bass overdrive.

Watch our exclusive interview with Red Witch founder Ben Fulton:


Use either effect independently or simultaneously -- they each have their own true-bypass stomp switch. Dial as little or a much of each effect in with the two mix controls.

The Factotum's overdrive section was based on a collaboration between Red Witch's Ben Fulton, and Faith No More's bass player Billy Gould. Billy contacted Ben to design the electronics for his Zon signature series. He wanted an overdrive that would add grit and bite to his sound and would feature an overdrive that would get more aggressive as the player "dug" into the strings.

Billy also was specific about wanting to offer the blend option -- allowing the player to choose between the clean, unaffected sound and the overdriven sound. The best facets of this design have been elaborated on by Ben with an additional independent analog suboctave circuit -- resulting in the Factotum, a deliciously gritty, thunderous device guaranteed to anchor any bass player's tone to the lowest end of the frequency spectrum.

Features:

- Independent overdrive for bass
- Independent sub octave for bass
- Independent wet/dry mix for each
- 100% analog = totally unique
