Hartke HC33 Analog Bass Chorus Guitar Effects Pedal

The main issue that I have is the loss of low end with this pedal. If you're the kind of person that does research before you buy. You have read this many times in reviews for bass guitar pedals; all of the highly rated and more expensive pedals have a low pass circuit built in to their designs. I'm quite sure its not expensive to do this; still most don't. Yes they added an extra tone circuit, but it was a compromise and ineffective in preserving the low frequencies. Because of the price I'm holding back on my critique. Some people like it; I didn't send mine back because I thought it may work better for guitar and it was inexpensive.

I have been looking for one and when I went to GVBBC last year and Victor Wooten showed me his I was sold

Very quiet pedal with easily adjusted parameters. Nonetheless, this is a fairly mild effect compared to other chorus units. That's fine for me, but you may want a more dramatic range than this offers.

well made. crunchy. some low end is lost but overall good for price

Nice fuzz distortion with a heavy low end. When I max it out, it sounds like heavy metal. Lots of tonal variation, but I had the most fun with the maxed-out heavy metal.Not bad for a pedal that cost me just $40.

Bought many overdrive pedals before this one expecting a bit of distortion on the bass - got zilch. finalyy got this guy - works great. If you are in a 3 piece band and need a thick bass background for thin lead solos, this is the pedal to get.

Very low quality with poor quality manufacturing. The pedal feels light and cheap. The paint was already blemished. There was fuzz stuck in the paint. The metal is thin cheap aluminum and the graphics are just a sticker.

Nice middle of the road effect
