JOYO R-30 Tidal Wave Bass Preamp & DI Pedal — 3-Band EQ, Drive & Cab Sim

The JOYO R-30 Tidal Wave is an analogue bass preamp pedal voiced for the punchy, growling bass tones of the '90s, at home in pop, funk and metal. Dial in drive, blend it back with your clean signal to keep the low end solid, then send it straight to the desk through the balanced XLR DI output.

Highlights

• Analogue bass preamp with Drive, Blend, Presence and Level controls
• 3-band EQ: Treble, Middle with a 500Hz / 1kHz frequency switch, and Bass with a 40Hz / 80Hz switch
• Blend control mixes clean and driven signal so the bottom end never thins out
• Balanced XLR DI output with ground lift for going direct to a mixer or audio interface
• Cab-emulation switch for the DI signal
• R-Series LED ambient light strip
