Thank you for making the Alesis BassFX a part of your setup. Since 1984, we’ve been designing and building creative tools for the audio community. We believe in our products, because we’ve heard the results that creative people like you have achieved with them. One of Alesis’ goals is to make high-quality music equipment available to everyone, and this user manual is an important part of that. After all, there’s no point in making equipment with all kinds of capabilities if no one explains how to use them. So, we try to write our manuals as carefully as we build our products. The goal of this manual is to get you the information you need as quickly as possible, with a minimum of hassle. We hope we’ve achieved that. If not, please drop us an email and give us your suggestions on how we could improve future editions of this manual. We hope your investment will bring you many years of creative enjoyment and help you achieve your musical goals. Sincerely, The people of Alesis 1 IntroductionAbout the BassFX 1 IntroductionAbout the BassFX The first thing you’ll probably notice about the BassFX is its size—it’s not much larger or smaller than most other effect pedals for bass guitars. But don’t let that fool you. The BassFX does much more than most pedals you’ll find on the market today (and for an unbeatable price too). We’ve packed a lot of effects (more than 40!) and features into this unit. Here’s a glimpse: BassFX Key Features • 40 preset patches that you can fully edit, store and restore to the factory default settings • 9 effect modules that provide multiple selectable effects • Over 40 different effects with adjustable parameters and innumerable effect combinations • Built-in auto-chromatic tuner • Battery-powered operation and an external power option (9VDC) • Simple interface that gives you quick and easy access to the BassFX’s features BassFX Basics Benefits of a Multi-Effects Pedal If you’ve ever used effect pedals, you know they come in an infinite array of effects, colors and sizes. If you use multiple pedals, you probably do so by linking them all together into a chain. The BassFX eliminates the need for so many pedals because it combines just about all the effects you need into one unit. Instead of turning knobs and pushing buttons on pedal after pedal, with the BassFX you have full control over dozens of effects with one foot pedal! It’s that easy. 4 Introduction 1 Effect Modules If you were to think of the BassFX as a series of individual pedals linked together, then each pedal in that series would be considered an effect module. The BassFX has nine separate effect modules, as shown below: You can assign one effect to each of these modules and adjust its parameters accordingly. On the face of the unit, you’ll see a list of possible effect types for some of these modules. For more on effect modules, see chapter 10. Effect Types When we use the word “effect” in this manual, we’re usually referring to an effect type. Each module provides you with a selection of effect types, only one of which may be chosen for each module. For example, the DIST module allows you to select which type of distortion you want (SS CLEAN, TUBE CLEAN, CLASSIC 1 and others). The behavior of each of these effect types may be adjusted in one or more ways to produce variations of the effect. Parameters A parameter is a control that changes the characteristics of an effect.
