Description

The Bass Console Fuzz by Rose Electric Audio is a bass-optimised version of the much-loved Console Fuzz, designed to deliver everything from tight distortion to full-bodied square-wave fuzz while preserving the depth and authority that bass players need. Equally at home with electric bass or guitar, it covers driven rock tones, aggressive alternative textures and harmonically rich fuzz sounds that cut through a dense band mix.

Tonally, the circuit is balanced and extremely harmonic, offering a broad gain range that moves from biting, articulate distortion to thick, saturated fuzz. It responds naturally to playing dynamics and cleans up impressively with the instrument’s volume control, moving from near-pristine clean to high-gain textures without needing to touch the pedal. The added clean preamp and Mix control allow players to retain low-end clarity by blending unaffected bass tone with the fuzzed signal, or to run either voice independently. With the clean side engaged on its own, it functions as a clear, punchy preamp; with the fuzz alone, it delivers raw character; blended together, it maintains definition while adding grit and harmonic complexity.

Under the fingers, the Rose Electric Audio Bass Console Fuzz feels immediate and expressive. Notes retain weight and presence, chords bloom with harmonic content, and single lines stay defined even at higher gain settings. The transformer-coupled mid control provides an additional layer of tonal shaping, introducing anything from subtle presence to pronounced, gnarly midrange emphasis that helps bass lines stand out in the mix without sacrificing low-end power.

The control set is intuitive and practical. Gain adjusts from tight, controlled drive to thick fuzz saturation. Tone is voiced as a variable low pass filter, allowing players to roll off high frequencies for warmth or open up the top end for extra edge. Volume offers substantial output level for pushing an amplifier. Mix blends clean preamp and fuzz signals, while the Mid control shapes and boosts the midrange for added focus and cut. Each control has a usable range that makes fine adjustments straightforward in both rehearsal and live settings.

At its core is an all-analogue fuzz and distortion circuit paired with a dedicated clean preamp stage, designed for musical response and reliability. The transformer-coupled mid boost adds character and authority without sounding brittle, and the overall design prioritises harmonic richness and dynamic interaction over harshness.

Housed in a robust all-metal enclosure, the pedal is built for regular gigging and studio use. Each unit is made by hand, with small aesthetic variations that reflect its individual assembly. The console-inspired graphics are distinctive and easy to read, and the integrated VU meter lights up when the effect is engaged, wiggling more as you play louder, offering a visual reference of signal activity on stage.

A true bypass switching system ensures the original tone remains unaffected when the pedal is off. Top-mounted jack sockets support tidy pedalboard layouts and efficient cable routing, and the standard 9V centre negative power requirement integrates easily with most modern pedalboard power supplies.

The Rose Electric Audio Bass Console Fuzz stands out by combining dynamic, harmonically rich fuzz with practical bass-focused features such as clean blending and transformer-coupled mid shaping. For players who want character, control and clarity in equal measure, it is a distinctive and musically rewarding addition to any rig.
