Boasting a relentless, fully adjustable Rock tone, and four additional required tones ranging from Clean to R&B to Grind, LD400 Pro offers uncompromising power, extraordinary versatility and commanding tonal definition for the pro player.
A crucial set of five essential effects, led by a dedicated studio-quality compressor based on the immortal LA-2A®, includes must-have Smart Control FX Envelope Filter, Octaver and Chorus, and a full-featured bass Synth with fully adjustable parameters.
Designed for the gigging bassist, LD400 Pro features an array of necessary ins, outs and hardware including an NL4M-series Speakon® speaker output for an external cabinet, a balanced XLR direct output with exclusive A.I.R. processing, a 1/4" preamp output and a pair of brawny 10" speakers ready to rattle some ribs and project your sound.
Clean:
Inspired by the Eden Traveler, this model is all about clean, funk and fusion bass tone. It'll give you all the warm lows and punchy highs you need.
R&B:
Inspired by a '68 B-15 Flip Top, this model is a tribute to those late 60's and early 70's clean fat bass tones. It is the kind of tone you hear on most Motown recordings, as played by a pioneering young bassist, James Jamerson.
Rock:
This model is inspired by the '74 Ampeg® SVT® which has appeared on innumerable recordings and arena stages worldwide. Now, all the tone of the head and 300-pound behemoth 8x10 cab is available without having to lookup a chiropractor.
Brit:
Based on a '68 Marshall® Super Bass, this model delivers the kind of overdriven bass sounds brought to us by late '60s British rock pioneers like Cream and The Who.
Grind:
As the name would suggest, this is for modern rock lovers - Alice in Chains to Mudvayne and Rage Against The Machine. Based on a distorted SansAmp PSA-1 into an SVT® with a direct clean bass signal mixed in, this model gives you that angry, clear and punchy aggression that cuts through the mix and takes your sound to DEFCON 1.
Compressor:
This pro LA-2A®-style compressor is ideal for every bass player and particularly useful for the ones who play with their fingers - achieve a smooth and consistent signal at any volume.
Envelope filter:
Based on a Q-Tron, this is the baddest envelope filter on the planet. This effect can be heard on tons of major funk and rock tunes.
Octaver:
Based on the EBS® OctaBass®, this effect produces a single note one octave below the note you're playing to add a powerful new vibe to your sound.
Chorus:
Based on the much loved T.C. Electronic® Chorus. This is the most transparent, smooth and expressive chorus ever built for bass - and using it won?t reduce your low end. It's especially beautiful with fretless basses.
Synth:
Sitting at the back of the model knob is this secret weapon that turns LowDown into a '70s classic bass synth. From funk to modern rock, this fully adjustable synth delivers incredible tones while tracking every dynamic move you make!
