Death By Audio Bass War Octave Fuzz Pedal for Bass

The Death By Audio Bass War is the uncompromising bass focused evolution of DBA’s legendary Fuzz War, rebuilt from the ground up to deliver devastating low end power. Designed as the ultimate fuzz weapon for bass players, the Bass War combines classic circuit inspiration with Death By Audio’s signature aggression, resulting in a harmonically rich octave fuzz that hits harder, louder, and deeper than ever before.

This is not a lightly modified guitar pedal. The Bass War was engineered specifically for bass, offering exceptional gain, a vast tonal range, and a highly usable Mix control that lets you blend crushing fuzz with your clean signal. The result is massive, attention grabbing fuzz that retains clarity, punch, and low end authority in any mix.

With its super extended control ranges, the Bass War lets you shape everything from gritty, grinding drive to thick, bone crushing distortion. The Fuzz control unlocks a huge spectrum of textures, from restrained growl to full scale sonic assault, while the Tone control acts as a powerful notch filter, sweeping through an enormous range of heavy, aggressive fuzz voices.

The Mix control is the secret weapon, allowing you to dial in the perfect balance between clean bass fundamentals and savage fuzz saturation, ensuring your sound remains powerful and defined no matter how extreme your settings become.
