What the Ripple Bass Does
We’ve crafted the Ripple Bass as our homage to classic two-stage phasing, delivering a deep, vibey modulation that breathes new life into bass-driven grooves.
-
One-knob simplicity—Speed controls the modulation rate, letting you go from subtle, percussive shimmer to full-bodied swirl with ease.
-
Built for musical authenticity, it adds expressive movement without muddying your tone—perfect before or after overdrives.
-
True bypass ensures your signal remains pure when the effect is off.
About the “Achenbach Series”:
John Achenbach is a Storyboard Artist and Animation Professional with a long history on the legendary show “The Simpsons” and a guitarist/musician. The “Achenbach Series” is the result of a loving friendship that has developed through the years out of mutual respect for what each of us does!
Here’s a little insider’s look into his process for coming up with his designs, using the “Achenbach Series” Tubedreamer as an example:
“You just can’t beat nature. For inspiration, I researched the first amplifier tubes to design a JAM pedals character and found this Fleming tube from 1904. Then a friend recently posted a real pic of a virus under an electron microscope. Damn.. that’s freaky.” John Achenbach
