Why You Need a Limiter

Even if you employ the best technique, there
will be volume inconsistencies in your sound.
This becomes really obvious when you switch
from  nger-style playing to slapping and
popping. The BLE400 can help smooth out these
inconsistencies and improve your sound. How?
A limiter works by reducing the dynamic range
of a signal, often referred to as compression. This
means that loud signals are turned down and
softer sounds are turned up, so they more closely
match each other. The resulting sound is more
powerful, focused and rich in tone.

Surgical Enhancement

By its very nature, extreme compression tends to suck the high-end out of any signal, so we added
a tone compensation circuit to the BLE400. This dedicated Enhance control lets you dial in just the
right amount of sparkle, without giving your bass that over-processed or brittle sound. This feature
alone will make the BLE400 one of your favorite secret weapons!

Simple, Intuitive Operation

The dedicated Level, Enhance, Ratio and Threshold controls provide easy and intuitive sound shaping.
Just set the Ratio control for the amount of compression you want and adjust the Thresh(old) control
to where you want the compressor to kick in. Then, turn the Level knob to match the volume of your
bass when the e ect is switched o . It’s just that easy!

A  rst-class electronic On/O switch is provided for absolutely noise-free operation. The BLE400’s
top-mounted LED lets you know when it’s on and also serves as a battery tester. And if you don’t
enjoy replacing 9 V batteries, we suggest using our PSU-SB DC power supply.
