Hailing from Bothell, Washington, DDyna Music has released its new handcrafted BASS10 compressor pedal for bassists and guitarists.

The BASS10 features EQ, compression, and switchable overdrive in a double-wide, die-cast box, offering tone versatility for both bass and guitar players. This release is the company's first effects pedal to hit the "GainShaper Series."

In addition to its aforementioned EQ, compression, and switchable overdrive, the new compressor pedal offers 4-band, 18 dB / octave crossover EQ filters; a "musically soothing, relaxed" squeeze compressor with auto-return to 0 dB sustain; and a switchable 2-level limiter overdrive with depth control for dialing just the right amount of distortion.

The BASS10 is, of course, pure analog and true bypass, according to the manufacturer. It operates from 12 to 18 VDC, comes with an adapter, and it's lightweight and compact too, weighing in at less than a pound. The new pedal has 1/4-inch Neutrik inputs and outputs as well.
