Description:
How Sweet It Is!Brother to the legendary Frantone pedal The Sweet, this germanium transistorized bass monster kicks out an impenetrable wall of low end that will devastate all those present.

How much bass does the Bassweet deliver? Try one yourself!

- Yellow indicator LED
- Steel LED bezel
- Switchcraft jacks
- Custom White Bakelite knobs
- Hard mounted PCB
- External power jack
- All teflon hook-up wire
- Really cute clear feet
Is the new intro music perhaps played on the tentacle love prototype?
Actually from now on, I’m going to record the intro with whatever pedal is being demo’d/review. Someone suggested it on youtube and I thought it was a good (fun) idea.
Makes a lot of sense – too bad the basssweet sounded best in the into!
Well, honest truth on that is… it’s the bass. That bass sounds amazing with almost anything you toss at it.
I e-mailed Fran from Frantone and she indicated to me that I have an older revision of the circuit. I’m going to send it off to her for a bit of rehab. I’ll be adding a large section to this review after I get it back.
