The Nano Bassballs are a fun, compact way to inject some serious movement and grit into your bass or guitar tone. It’s a great option for players looking for an immediate, exaggerated auto-wah effect, especially those in genres like funk, electronic, or anything that needs a bit of sonic chaos. Just be aware it's not a subtle effect – it’s meant to be noticed.

Product Description

Electro Harmonix Nano Bassballs, Dual Envelope FollowerThe Electro Harmonix Nano Bassballs Dual Envelope-follower is the small successor of the legendary Bassball. Like this one, 2 'sweeping filters' create unique fat sounds.

The intensity can be controlled by the touch; the more the response knob is turned up, the more the effect goes up... so sounds from soft and unobtrusive to 'completely over-wound' are possible.

With the additionally activated fuzz effect the overtones are ignited even more... maybe the craziest AutoWah effect of all time!

, For bass and guitar, New compact housing, Dimensions (WxDxHxD): 70 x 115 x 57 mm, Power supply with a 9 V battery or a 9 V DC power supply unit (coaxial connection - negative polarity - not included, e.g. Article number #409939#)

PROS
