Bronze Master
Originally designed for bass, but equally cool on guitar... the Maestro
®
Bass Brassmaster is considered
by many to be the Holy Grail of bass distortion units, and ultra-rare bird designed in the early ‘70’s for
Maestro
®
by synth genius Tom Oberheim. It showed up on Chris Squire’s gear list in a mid-70’s Yes
tour program. In fact, the Brassmaster was the first distortion unit we can think of designed primarily
with the bassist in mind, and man, did Mr. Oberheim get it right! The original has a fairly elaborate set
of controls, include two separate volumes and toggles for accentuating different harmonic voicings. We
weren’t able to make an exact duplicate of some of that complexity when creating the Bronze Master
for POD Farm, but you’ll find that this model does give you a luscious palette of super-sweet bass fuzz
in the style of the Brassmaster, with righteous distortion that doesn’t take away that all-important low
end. For guitar players, think of it as somewhere between an Octave Fuzz and a synth. You can get
positively freaky with this one.

Sub Octaves
All bassists know that in just about every musical situation, lower can be better! But we couldn’t just
let bass players have all the fun, so we’ve included an Octave device that’s inspired by the very popular
Boss OC-2. Your Sub Octave gets you down into booty-shaking territory mighty quick. Use it to create
additional voices, 1 octave and 2 octaves below what you’re playing. Remember, lower can be better,
especially when it makes the booty shake!

Female De-Esser
The Female De-esser should be your first choice when taming the Sss and Shh sounds of female
vocalists, although as with all things musical, you may find many uses for it and may find that for some
male vocalists it works better than the Male De-esser. For general information on De-essers, see the
What is the De-esser section. Technically-savvy users will want to know that this de-esser performs its
gain reduction only on the selected frequency band, unlike the more typical insert-style De-essing of
the Male De-esser.

is the De-esser section. Technically-savvy users will want to know that this is a standard insert-style
De-esser, performing gain reduction on the full bandwidth audio signal.
