Shape Massive Bass Tone - The EarthQuaker Devices Scrolls Bass Odyssey EQ/Overdrive Electric Bass Guitar Pedal

Welcome to the Scrolls® Bass Odyssey from the EarthQuaker Devices® family of sonic solutions! Scrolls was designed in partnership with Japan’s one and only master of bass tone—Kentaro Nakao! Scrolls is a powerful, modern tool capable of shaping the organic input signal of any bass to match the sonic profile of virtually any bass/amp combination you can think of. Want the precise sound of a California-born bass rocketing through a flip top amp with a 15" speaker? Scrolls has got you covered. Want the sting of an active bass punching its way through a solid state full-stack? Scrolls has got you covered. Want the sound of…you get the idea.

On the right side of Scrolls, you’ll find a Drive section featuring a versatile, tube amp-like distortion. Key amongst the Drive section features are the Blend knob, which enables you to adjust the amount of clean signal present in the overdriven signal, and the position of the Bandwidth knob determines where the clipping is most prevalent—lower frequencies counterclockwise and higher frequencies clockwise. Together, the Blend and Bandwidth knob can be adjusted to ensure the low-end response remains wide, deep, and full when using the Drive section.

The left side of Scrolls features a full suite of active EQ controls including audiophile-quality Bass, Middle, and Treble controls. The secret weapon of Scrolls' EQ section is the Variable Frequency control with the ability to cut/boost frequencies from around 20 Hz to 10 kHz—making it the perfect tool for cutting out the mud and boosting the high-end. Within the EQ section, you’ll find three push button switches that serve as potent assets for one-click tone sculpting.

The buffered Parallel Out enables you to send a clean signal out to an external destination. Internally, the Drive signal comes first in the chain and runs into the EQ. Between the Drive and EQ lives an Effects Loop, which enables you to keep your modulation effects positioned after the Drive section in your chain, while retaining the ability to apply all the tone-shaping capabilities of the EQ section at the end of your chain.

Scrolls can be routed directly to your bass amp via the ¼" output, or you can use the balanced XLR out to run Scrolls directly to the front of house for an ampless show or straight into your recording interface for ampless recording. The XLR out features just a splash of analog filtering to make it sound more like a speaker cabinet in amp-free scenarios.

Each and every Scrolls is all-analog, true bypass, and built one-at-a-time by credentialed professionals at the EarthQuaker Devices Tone Wellness Clinic under the malt gray skies of Akron, Ohio
