“The Meatbox is much more than just a simple octave divider-type pedal that adds just an octave down, the Meatbox also adds additional subharmonic synthesized note an octave below that,” said Tom Cram, marketing manager, DigiTech. “With 1990s originals becoming more and more sought after and harder to find, our updated DOD Meatbox lets a new generation of players add beef and unmistakable low-end impact only the Meatbox can dish out.”
Based on the iconic DOD Meatbox circuit design with updated components, the pedal serves up everything from subtle to insane amounts of deep bass enhancement. The Octave control adjusts the blend of the subharmonic signal to the dry, unaffected signal. The Sub knob controls the boost/cut of the subharmonic frequency, while the Low knob tailors the boost/cut of the low-frequency band. The Output control adjusts the output level of the signal while the effect is turned on and can add distortion at higher settings. The TRS Jack allows the signal to be split so that the octave+sub can be sent separately from the original dry signal to the PA or a low-frequency driver.
The Meatbox provides input and output jacks and a 9-volt power supply input that makes it easy to add to any pedalboard. Unlike the original, the reissue DOD Meatbox provides true bypass operation, leaving the player’s tone uncolored when the effect is not engaged. Its road-tough enclosure features DOD’s classic retro graphics for a look that’s as unmistakable as the sound the Meatbox delivers.
The DigiTech DOD Meatbox Subharmonic Bass Synthesizer will be available in August 2015 at a suggested retail price of $187.44 MSRP.
