හැඳින්වීම
The Darkglass Luminal Booster Ultra is a versatile bass preamp pedal designed to provide high-precision dynamics control and extensive tone shaping capabilities. It integrates a studio-quality compressor, a 6-band graphic equalizer, and various tone-shaping controls to help bassists achieve their desired sound. This pedal also features an XLR DI output, a 7-slot Impulse Response (IR) loader for cabinet simulations, a built-in headphone amplifier, and a stereo auxiliary input for silent practice with backing tracks. A ground-lift feature is included for optimal signal integrity.
