EBS BassIQ Blue Label Triple Envelope Filter Pedal

The EBS BassIQ Blue Label is an envelope filter on steroids, designed to transform your bass into a funk-fueled, synth-like, expressive groove machine. Whether you’re aiming for classic ‘70s auto-wah sounds, deep dubstep wobbles, or ultra-modern, dynamic filter sweeps, this pedal reacts to your playing in real-time, making every note feel alive, fluid, and full of movement.

At its core, the BassIQ Blue Label is an intelligent triple-envelope filter, meaning it responds dynamically to the way you play—dig in hard for aggressive, quacky sweeps or play lightly for a more subtle, bubbling funk effect. Unlike traditional wah pedals that require foot control, this auto-wah-style filter follows your playing automatically, letting you focus on the groove while it dials in the funk.

Three Distinct Filter Modes for Maximum Expression

Not all envelope filters are created equal, and EBS has gone above and beyond by giving you three distinct filter modes to shape your sound:

• Up Mode – Produces a classic, rising envelope filter effect, great for adding funky movement and punch to your basslines.

• Down Mode – Instead of sweeping upward, this mode reverses the response, delivering a deep, dub-like sweep that works beautifully for reggae, synth-bass sounds, and electronic-inspired grooves.

• Up-Hi Q Mode – Similar to Up Mode, but with an even sharper, more pronounced resonance, perfect for cutting through a mix with aggressive, vocal-like filtering.

Total Control Over Your Funk Factor

With Sensitivity, Threshold, and Attack controls, the BassIQ Blue Label gives you precise control over how the effect reacts to your playing. Sensitivity adjusts how much the filter responds to your dynamics, allowing for smooth, subtle sweeps or explosive, wah-heavy tones. The Threshold control helps you fine-tune when and how the filter kicks in, ensuring it responds exactly as you want it to. And finally, Attack lets you control the speed of the filter movement—whether you want a fast, snappy response or a slower, swelling effect.

Bass-Friendly Design – No Low-End Loss!

One of the biggest problems with many envelope filters is that they tend to suck the low end out of your bass tone, leaving you with a thin, weak sound. EBS designed the BassIQ Blue Label specifically for bassists, meaning your low frequencies remain solid, fat, and full-bodied, even when the filter is sweeping like crazy. The pedal also features true bypass switching, so when it’s off, your signal remains completely unaffected.

Built for the Stage, Studio, and Beyond

Like all EBS pedals, the BassIQ Blue Label is built to withstand years of heavy gigging and recording sessions. The compact yet rugged enclosure is pedalboard-friendly, and its simple layout means you can dial in a killer sound within seconds. This pedal is also not just for bass—if you’re a guitarist, keyboardist, or even a synth player looking to add rich, dynamic filtering effects, the BassIQ Blue Label is ready to bring life, movement, and funk to your sound.

If you’re looking to inject serious funk, character, and movement into your playing, the EBS BassIQ Blue Label is the perfect envelope filter for bassists and beyond. Whether you’re crafting deep, syrupy grooves or sharp, funky slap tones, this pedal will keep your playing pulsating with energy, expression, and undeniable groove!
