Bring the low-end brutality with DSM Humboldt Electronics’ Sub Atomic, an all-analog 2-channel preamp pedal for your bass that covers everything from rich, warm cleans to grinding, gain-drenched riffage. This pedal’s innovative architecture utilizes cascading CMOS stages, granting the Sub Atomics’ Clean channel a dynamic and tube-like responsiveness. Flip over to the pedal’s Subatomic Drive channel to delve into the depths of dirt-drenched aggression, which can be fine-tuned for clarity using the Sub Atomic’s handy clean blend control. Switching between these two channels covers an extensive range of sonic ground that’s sure to suit almost any rocker or metalhead, especially when you factor in the Sub Atomic’s robust 3-band EQ and Sub LPF knob. And while this preamp pedal is all old-school analog where it counts, DSM Humboldt crammed in a versatile set of modern features to better suit modern performing bassists, including a switchable 8 x 10-inch cabinet emulation on the balanced XLR DI output, a powerful FX loop, and a noise-defeating ground lift. Compact, versatile, and packed with hard-hitting analog grit, the Sub Atomic

From warm and clean to all-out destruction

While the Sub Atomic is certainly a superb option for bassists craving raw, grinding overdrive and distortion sounds, the truth is that there’s no pegging down this pedal to a single sonic application. The key is the Sub Atomic’s amp-like 2-channel design, comprising a Clean channel and a Subatomic Drive channel.

  • Clean Channel: The clean channel utilises a set of CMOS stages that subtly compress and warm up your sound much in the same way that a tube-powered amp does. This delivers a truly do-it-all clean sound that stands in stark contrast to the Subatomic Drive channel.
  • Subatomic Drive Channel: Bassists who desire rich and dynamic shades of dirt-drenched grind can start here. Packed with the same valve-like vibrance as the Clean channel, this channel offers myriad shades of aggressive distortion and overdrive. To keep things from getting muddy, the Sub Atomic allows you to inject your clean signal right along with the dirty signal via the handy Blend control.

Equipped with an array of versatile features

Whether you’re tracking lines in your home studio or seeking an ultra-portable powerhouse to fuel your gigs, the Sub Atomic has you covered. This pedal sports a balanced XLR DI out to send your signal straight to FOH, along with a ground lift to slice out any unwanted noise. What’s more, a quick flip of a switch utterly transforms your tone with the complex and lifelike sounds of a top-shelf 8 x 10-inch analog cabinet simulation. Topped off with an FX loop to negate the need for an external DI box when integrating post-drive effects, the Sub Atomic is well equipped for any sonic situation.

  • 2-ch all-analog bass preamp, designed to bring thunderous clean and distorted low-end tones with exemplary clarity and a full-bodied response
  • Clean channel offers a subtle, complex, and tube-like voice courtesy of its CMOS stages
  • Subatomic drive channel delivers a fiercely aggressive distortion, bolstered with a clean blend to sharpen up your sound
  • 3-band EQ section and Sub LPF knob (500Hz, 100Hz, and off) give you plenty of tone-shaping power to sculpt the sound of your dreams
  • Balanced XLR DI out with switchable analog cabinet simulation ensures ultra-authentic plug-and-play tones onstage and in the studio
  • FX loop eliminates the need for an external DI box when integrating post-drive effects
  • Onboard ground-lift switch helps defeat unwanted noise
