From the manufacturer...
SINCE 2002... THIS DRUMMER HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN TIME WITH YOU
WHY FOOTBASS? After playing a cigar box, the Shadow Stompin' Bass, the Ellis percussion box, the Porchboard, and the Wazinator, I was still slightly unsatisfied. I decided to take my years of experience in designing custom equipment as a touring professional and go to work on the "ultimate" stomping pad. Thus, the FOOTBASS!
First of, our indestructible metal case won't break, crack, or warp from moisture.
Secondly, the FOOTBASS contains two outputs, so you never have to be bothered by scratch or static. If you ever had a jack fail during a show... you know why we give you two output jacks. You can also use these jacks as dual outputs to a mixer and to an additional amp if you like. We use only top quality Switchraft plugs to assure a long life.
Thirdly, we use a custom made high output pickup wrapped in a full metal "hum-free" shell. You are going to love your new drummer! FOOTBASS always plays in time with 'your" foot.
DID YOU NOTICE OUR 100% GREAT FEEDBACK RATING ON EBAY? We hope you did.
FOOTBASS INSTRUCTIONS
LIVE USE: 1. Plug FOOTBASS into P.A. channel or amp (bass amp if possible) and stomp it! TAPE it to the floor using gaffer tape (re-useable duct tape) to keep it from sliding around if needed. This will also allow you to tap it in different places to get different degrees of audio emphasis.
Set the tone controls to get the sound you are looking for. You do not have to stomp the top. Many users place it between there feet and slap it sideways. If you want a really great deep kick drum sound, dial in 80 hz and boost that frequency and also ad a little top end for the paper sound. I love them directly into the back of home type subwoofers for use with an acoustic guitar. It kills!
You can use a direct box with a ground lift switch if you have to attain long runs (over 40 foot) to the P.A. The ground lift may help if you are in a high RF area. Most users do not need this. Always use a shielded (guitar type) cable. Speaker cables will cause hum and buzz!
LIVE USE: 2. Plug the FOOTBASS into a 75 watt or higher powered subwoofer. A simple home style unit will work fine. This sub-woofer will fill the room with heart stopping thumping. I'll be you will never go back to using the PA system again. I use a little Yamaha 75 watt sub with two 8 inch speakers in it. I can rattle the doors on a 300 seat room. It is the only way I personally play my footbass and all of my Stompbox units.
