Ibanez Synthesizer Bass SB7

Description

The Ibanez SB7 Synthesizer Bass pedal is a bass-specific effects unit that generates synthesized tones from the instrument's signal. Its primary control, the Filter knob, sweeps the cutoff frequency of a low-pass filter, changing the timbre from dark and muted to bright and squelchy. The Decay control sets how quickly the filter sweeps back down after the initial attack, influencing the envelope's response to picking dynamics. A Mode switch selects between different filter types or synth voicings, altering the character of the generated sound. The pedal tracks the bass's pitch to drive the filter, producing a monophonic synth effect that follows the played notes. It includes a blend control to mix the dry bass signal with the effected synth sound, allowing for a balance between the two. The SB7 is housed in a compact pedal format with a single footswitch for engaging the effect, and it operates on a standard 9V DC power supply.
