## Description

desertcart.com: JOYO Bass Preamp & DI Guitar Pedal, Blend Control with MID SHIFT/BASS SHIFT EQ, Drive & Presence, XLR DI Out & Ground Lift, Bypass (TIDAL WAVE R-30) : Everything Else

## Features

- BLEND CONTROL & DRIVE — CLASSIC 90'S BASS TONE WITH MODERN FLEXIBILITY: The TIDAL WAVE delivers the iconic punchy, articulate bass tone of the 90's with a dedicated Blend control that mixes your clean signal with the preamp's harmonically rich drive. Turn Blend counter-clockwise for pristine, transparent tone shaping using the 3-band EQ alone—perfect for pop, funk, and clean passages. Turn Blend clockwise to introduce the Drive circuit, adding everything from subtle warmth to aggressive, grinding overdrive ideal for rock and metal. Players describe the tone as punchy and praise the Blend for providing tight low end with just the right amount of grit.
- 3-BAND EQ WITH MID SHIFT & BASS SHIFT — PRECISE FREQUENCY CONTROL: Unlike standard 3-band EQs, the TIDAL WAVE features two toggle switches for surgical frequency control. The MID SHIFT switch toggles between 500Hz and 1kHz—cut at 500Hz to scoop the mids, or boost at 1kHz for a growly, cutting presence that slices through dense mixes. The BASS SHIFT switch toggles between 40Hz and 80Hz—select 40Hz for deep, sub-bass rumble, or 80Hz for tight, punchy low-end that sits perfectly in a band context. Combined with the Treble, Middle, and Bass knobs, you get studio-grade tonal flexibility.
- PROFESSIONAL DI & CONNECTIVITY — XLR DI OUT & GROUND LIFT: The balanced XLR DI output connects directly to PA systems, audio interfaces, or front-of-house mixers—no external DI box required. A dedicated Ground Lift switch eliminates ground loop hum, while the Pad switch accommodates high-output active pickups. For the quietest performance, use a regulated, isolated 9V power supply (not included).
- ROAD-READY R SERIES DESIGN WITH AMBIENT LED LIGHTING: Encased in a rugged all-metal aluminum alloy, the TIDAL WAVE features the iconic R Series ambient LED lighting with 3 modes (Sync, Always On, or Off) via a recessed switch on the underside—giving your pedalboard a sleek, professional glow. The smooth, responsive knobs and sturdy footswitch are built to withstand heavy stomping night after night. Note: The control knobs do not have numerical markings; we recommend noting your preferred settings during rehearsal for consistent live performance.
- JOYO QUALITY & AFTER-SALES CONFIDENCE: Backed by JOYO's decade-plus reputation for crafting innovative, budget-friendly gear. The TIDAL WAVE is part of the R Series, built with upgraded precision components. Important: Powered by 9V DC adapter only (center negative, not included). Rated current: <100mA. Battery operation is not supported. For the quietest performance—especially with high-gain drive circuits—use a regulated, isolated 9V power supply and avoid daisy-chaining with other pedals.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What do the switches next to the XLR DI output do?**
A: The Ground Lift helps reduce ground-loop hum. The DI attenuation switch lowers the DI output level when needed for mixers, audio interfaces or other connected equipment.

**Q: How should I use the Blend control for the best overdriven bass tone?**
A: Blend: max clockwise = full drive saturation; dial back = clean signal for low-end punch + grit. Modern rock: 12 o'clock. For EQ-only tone, turn fully counter-clockwise.

**Q: MID SHIFT & BASS SHIFT: Surgical Frequency Control**
A: Features two toggle switches. MID SHIFT toggles between 500Hz (scoop the mids for a modern, spacious tone) and 1kHz (boost for growly presence that cuts through). BASS SHIFT toggles between 40Hz (deep sub-bass rumble) and 80Hz (tight, punchy low-end)

**Q: Troubleshooting steps?**
A: Power supply check: Use a DC 9V (center negative) power and check if indicator light is on (if not,replace power supply) Signal test: Connect bass,pedal,and amp with shielded cable,step on switch and listen (if no sound, replace cable and try again)

**Q: What should we do if the pedal does not work?or other problem?**
A: First, please read the instructions carefully. Then, check that the power supply is suitable . Secondly, check whether the product packaging is damaged.
