The Watt - Bass Tube Preamp
The Watt by Sushi Box FX is a captivating tube preamp pedal that packs a serious punch for bassists. Developed in collaboration with the legendary Mike Watt, this compact powerhouse combines the essential features of Sushi Box's acclaimed Finally and Single Slice pedals into a versatile one-stop solution. At the heart of The Watt is a 12AT7 (ECC81) vacuum tube that infuses your bass tone with authentic, organic warmth and responsive dynamics. This tube stage is paired with an adjustable high-pass filter, allowing you to sculpt the low-end frequencies with precision, taming rumble and keeping your sound tight and focused. But The Watt doesn't stop there - it also features a built-in compressor, providing integrated dynamic control to smooth out your playing and add sustain where needed. The compressor can be dialed in to taste, giving you complete command over your attack and sustain. The Watt's versatility is further enhanced by its dual output configuration. You get both 1/4" and XLR outputs, each with independent bypass capability, enabling you to seamlessly integrate this pedal into your live or studio setup. The XLR output, backed by a premium Unagi Magnets E4305 D.I. transformer, ensures your direct signal is stage-ready and gig-worthy. Whether you're a seasoned pro like Mike Watt or a dedicated tone seeker, The Watt is a must-have addition to your bass rig. Its perfect blend of tube warmth, dynamic control, and flexible routing makes it a Swiss Army knife for your low-end needs.
