What we say:
Bass warriors armed with the Battalion from Electro-Harmonix can enter battle armed only this and their bass: no amps are necessary to create excellent bass tones on stage and in the studio!
This all-analog unit from EHX is loaded with features including a 4 band EQ, a fantastic MOSFET distortion with its own footswitch and routing options within the pedal for where in the 'chain' it gets inserted (you get wildly different results this way), a compressor, noise gate and a 10dB pad switch for going between active and passive basses.
All of that comes in a compact and rough-tough chassis with a good amount of ins and outs including an XLR out for balanced DI'ing. This is one of those Swiss Army pedals that is well worth having in your gig bag or case even if you prefer to use an amp: it could save your gig!
Specification
The pedal’s four-band EQ section includes Bass (below 200Hz), Lo Mid
(boost/cut at 280Hz), Hi Mid (Boost/cut at 750Hz) and Treble (boost/cut above
2kHz) controls. Its Distortion section is equipped with Level, Blend, Drive and
Tone controls plus a dedicated footswitch. Three signal flow modes determine
where the distortion is applied within the signal chain and each delivers unique
tonal variations. They are: Pre EQ, where the distortion comes before the EQ.
Post EQ, where the distortion comes after the EQ and Dry EQ where only the dry
signal mixed in with the Blend control is affected by the EQ.
The Battalion’s compressor is engaged via pushbutton and includes a level
control and blue LED. The pedal’s Gate knob sets the threshold for the noise
gate while the -10dB Pad Button lets the pedal accommodate basses with both
active and passive pickups.
The Battalion includes a ¼"
input jack , a ¼" output jack that is headphone ready, ¼" dry output and a
balanced XLR output for use as a DI. The DI features dedicated level, bypass and
ground lift controls.
The Battalion features all-analog
circuitry and comes with an EHX9.6DC-200mA AC adapter.
