Bass effects seem to be the trend for 2008 at Electro Harmonix, as Mike Matthews' stompbox-making company comes up with the Bass Blogger, a distortion box for four/five/six-stringers.

Electro Harmonix announces the Steel Leather, a bass effect pedal designed to enhance the player's picking and plucking.

Electro Harmonix introduces the Bass Big Muff, a new version of the brand's famous distorsion/fuzz/sustainer stompbox.

Electro Harmonix is about to announce a series of new bass effects, among which the XO Bass Microsynth, a reissue in the XO Series of the brand's Bass Micro Synthetizer.

Aimed at bass players, the TPK988 BASS TRIO features the BOD400 Bass Overdrive for tube-like distortion and fat tone, the BLE100 Bass Limiter Enhancer, and the BCH100 Bass Chorus pedals. Two patch cables and a 10’ instrument cable are provided in the pack.

Tech 21 presents the Bass Driver Deluxe, a stompbox which (as you may expect) is none other than the latest evolution of the manufacturer's famous Bass Driver bass amp simulator.

Continuing its recent effort in addressing the specific needs of bass players, MXR introduces a new bass fuzz pedal called the "M-182 El Grande Bass Fuzz", which is basically a 70’s fuzz pedal specially adapted for handling low frequencies.
