The Divaricator is a versatile “tone toolbox” for bassists using effects. Using its 4th-order variable crossover, the pedal splits a signal into high and low frequency bands, and processes the high frequency band with any combination of three “exciters” - each enhancing a different aspect of the sound – before sending this enhanced harmonic content through an external effects loop. To tame the potential for enhancing high frequency noise along with the signal, a noise gate is applied to the excited signal path. The low frequencies are passed through directly, to preserve the bass frequencies without introducing muddiness, booming, or cancellation.

Depending on how it's connected to other equipment, the Divaricator can be used as an inline effect to enhance the signal, sculpt tone and generate extra harmonics; to split low frequencies to a bass amp and highs to a guitar amp; or to insert other effects into your chain that would normally cut bass or otherwise alter your tone.
