Spectra Drive Bass Preamp

The SpectraDrive combines TC Electronic's bass compression and preamp technologies in a single pedal designed for the modern bass player. The three-band EQ and built-in SpectraComp multiband compression shape your tone while maintaining the natural dynamics and character of your instrument.

The multiband compression section applies different compression ratios to low, mid, and high frequencies independently, preventing the pumping and squashing that plagues single-band compressors on bass. TonePrint compatibility lets you load custom compression curves from professional bassists or design your own.

Direct XLR output with ground lift and cab simulation makes the SpectraDrive an excellent front-of-house solution. Whether you're using it as a practice preamp, DI box, or full-time tone shaper, the SpectraDrive handles the complete signal chain for bass guitar.
