General

For bassists with a preference for feisty fuzz, Red Witch offers the Zeus Bass Fuzz Suboctave effects pedal. Have you always wanted to be able to produce wild, pulsating bass sounds with your electric bass guitar? This king of fuzz gods delivers a natural silicon fuzz and a suboctave sound of epic proportions! The Zeus was modelled after Red Witch's renowned Fuzz God II, a guitar pedal that was a great hit among bass players. To truly cater to bassists' need for a full frequency response, however, Red Witch have now created the Zeus. Like its guitar counterpart, this analogue fuzz suboctave stomp box treats you to lively, organic fuzz and octave sounds. The rich, low tone of this analogue pedal may even appeal to discerning guitarists.

Zeus Fuzz Suboctave: distortion and octave

The fuzz sound of the Zeus stomp box is based on two silicon BC109 transistors. The pedal's Fuzz knob determines the level of distortion, while the Fuzz Mix knob controls the balance between the clean and the effect signal. Turn it towards the right, and the level of fuzz increases. Turn the Sputter knob down, and a noise gate lowers the threshold of the second transistor. The lower the value, the more staccato the Zeus Fuzz Suboctave's output becomes. A toggle switch on the left (marked with a lightning bolt) allows you to double the gain, while a toggle switch on the right (market with an ear) enables you to boost the trebles. This Red Witch stomp box doesn't just give you all the fuzz you need, it also delivers a natural suboctave sound. Again, the Octave Mix knob allows you to determine the balance between the clean signal and the suboctave signal. As both effects have their own foot switch, you're able to use both organic sounds at the same time, or trigger them individually.

Red Witch Zeus Bass Fuzz Suboctave pedal

Wrote the following about Red Witch Zeus Bass Fuzz Suboctave pedal
Ondanks de hoge prijs van dit pedaal krijg je waar je naar zoekt.

Al jaren ben ik op zoek naar de dik bas fuzz geluid wat bijna elektronisch klinkt. Dat kan je met dit pedaal zeker creëren, door de "SPUTTER" knob dicht te draaien. Maar het toffe aan dit pedaal is dat je er ook naar minimale fuzz / drive kan gaan. Dit kunnen de meeste pedalen niet. Door de fuzz heel zacht te zetten word de tone heel schel, dit kun je met de "EAR SWITCH" weghalen. Die geeft een tone boost of juist niet.
Je kunt ook een vet ruig fuzz geluid krijgen door alles open te zetten, dan is het fuzz op zijn ruigst en klinkt het niet meer elektronisch.
Door de "OCTAVE" functie kan je nog een stapje "viezer" gaan, waardoor in de extreemste vorm bijna digitaal kan klinken. De octave functie trackt je signaal heel helder en direct, hij loopt niet achter de feiten aan of zoekt de toon die hij moet verlagen.

Ik raad aan de 2 video van Redwitch te kijken, die geven goed weer welke sounds je kunt maken.
Het pedaaltje is met liefde ingepakt in een spijkerstoffen zak, die weer in een doosje zit.

Na vele miskopen is dit eindelijk het pedaal wat iedere cent waard is!
