What it does
Small speakers can't play deep bass, so on a phone or a laptop your bass line just disappears. Bass Enhancer adds harmonics above the bass that those speakers can play, so your ear still hears the note. The display shows every note's harmonic ladder as you play.
Inside Bass Enhancer
Phone check
Hear your track the way a phone plays it, with a readout of how much louder the bass gets.
Harmonics
Adds the harmonics that bring the bass back on small speakers. They follow every note, so they always stay in tune.
Freq with a guide arrow
Sets where the bass ends. A small arrow shows the right spot for the bass you're playing, and it turns red if the bass is above the line.
Character
From warm, even harmonics to gritty, odd ones.
Sustain
Keeps the harmonics up as the notes fade.
Root and Sub
Root tames a boomy note or lifts a weak one. Sub adds a clean sine an octave below.
Dry Bass
Turns down the original lows, all the way off for small speakers.
Delta
Hear only what's being added.
Auto Gain and 18 presets
Auto Gain keeps the level steady while you dial it in. 18 presets, from Phone Bass to 808 Slides, are built into the device.
