zZounds Gear Experts Say...

With four "gears" of variable analog overdrive in one stompbox, Genzler's 4 on the Floor bass overdrive pedal adds four distinct OD textures to your rig.

Overview

The GENZLER AMPLIFICATION -- 4 ON THE FLOOR, Classic Bass Overdrive pedal offers 4 separate "gears" of variable analog overdrive textures and harmonic content to SHIFT through, along with a clean blend feature. HPF and LPF controls are included to shape the overdrive engine's signal path. This pedal offers touch sensitive asymmetrical and symmetrical overdrive characteristics, variations of compression and overdrive complexity, along with a true bypass. The versatility allows this pedal to be used as a clean boost, along with the various overdrive gears, up to all out heavy saturated drive. This pedal also offers another level of versatility as it accepts nearly any power supply; 9 - 18 Volts, either polarity. (Power supply not included).

Check out Nate Navarro's video demo of the Genzler 4 on the Floor:

The 4 ON THE FLOOR Classic Bass Overdrive is an ALL ANALOG bass overdrive pedal that gracefully emulates 4 different overdrive types found in classic tube circuit topologies and then gives the player additional control over drive/gain, overdrive path (only) with high pass and low pass filters and separately a clean blend. The result is the ability to tailor and fine tune the overdrive to fit with a wide spectrum of music and playing techniques, without the loss of touch sensitivity, musicality, or the addition of induced excess noise. This versatile pedal can be used as a clean boost, an "always on" tonal enhancement, or offering varied overdrive textures to shift through,… read more for selected performance requirements.

Drive Select "Gear" Descriptions:
1st GEAR: Reminiscent of a tube amp's clean channel (including natural harmonics) with a bit of overdriven tone when driven hard. A nice "always-on" selection.
2nd GEAR: Emulates a tube amp's mildly overdriven tone, with a small amount of dynamically compliant clipping asymmetry. This is a natural feeling, touch sensitive algorithm with very mild compression that responds with more texture and complexity, the harder you dig in.
3rd GEAR: A more aggressive up-shift from 2nd gear, this moderate, asymmetrical overdrive is less compliant, with greater compression for a tighter feel.
4th GEAR: This is the most aggressive gear of all -- a heavier, symmetrical, low compliance overdrive that can enter distortion territory when driven hard. While there are a lot of harmonics and compression present, this gear does not give up tone or feel.

With the versatility in overdrive algorithms and tonal options, the 4-OTF-PEDAL is an excellent compliment to either of the MAGELLAN 350 or MAGELLAN 800 bass amps.

"Like Adding An Overdrive Channel To Your Amp"

For those looking for a versatile overdrive/clean boost it would be hard to suggest a better one than this 4 On The Floor from Genzler. I play a Genzler Magellan 350 head which does not have the overdrive channel of it's more powerful 800w brother. The 4 On The Floor is like adding a more versatile version of that channel to my head and it would do the same with many others.There are four levels of drive or "gears" based on popular bass amp circuits each very usable and with no added noise. The differences between each are subtle but there. 1st Gear adds the least amount of drive but also adds a significant amount of harmonics and texture to liven up fingerstyle play or add an edge to pick play. The next three gears add progressively more drive, harmonics, and compression. 3rd Gear is where the drive impact becomes most noticeable and 4th Gear can even be driven into a fairly high amount of distortion with high gain and overdrive volume settings.The pedal also allows you to blend a clean signal with the drive volume and HPF and LPF help to further tailor the tone of the drive signal. I'm not one to use a lot of overdrive or distortion and this pedal is perfect for adding just that little bit of warmth, grit, and edge we love to get from well known tube heads. If there's no need for any overdrive at all it can act as a clean boost as well. It's very touch sensitive and responsive to adjustments in drive and clean volume.I can't say enough good things about the Genzler amp and… read more Bass Array speakers I play and the personalized service given on forums by Jeff Genzler and Andy Field. They are active members on a daily basis fielding question and concerns helping their users to get the most benefit from their Genzler gear. The 4 On The Floor is just another of the top quality products they provide to help enjoy our gear and work as bassists even more. I highly recommend this pedal. It's a great value.
