Pedal details

Brewed for Bass. Served with Bite.

Meet the TONECAT Basspresso — a handcrafted analog bass preamp and DI pedal brewed in Melbourne for bassists who crave inspiring tone with personality. Designed for players who live on groove, grind, and deep low-end, Basspresso delivers rich, musical bass tones that feel equally at home on stage, in the studio, or at the heart of your pedalboard.

Conceived in the backstreets of Melbourne, where late-night coffee rituals fuel endless tone experiments, Basspresso is the result of TONECAT's obsession with crafting pedals that spark creativity. Inspired by the legendary Ampeg-style bass preamp sound, Basspresso serves up a bold blend of vintage warmth, modern clarity, and touch-sensitive drive — all wrapped in unmistakable TONECAT character.

At its core, Basspresso is an all-analog bass preamp designed to enhance the natural voice of your instrument rather than mask it. Whether you're laying down warm vintage grooves, driving a rock band with thick, punchy lows, or seeking articulate modern tones that cut through a dense mix, Basspresso gives you the flexibility to shape your signature sound with ease.

The carefully tuned Drive, Low EQ, High EQ, HF Harmonics, and Mix controls allow you to dial in everything from subtle harmonic sweetness and tube-like warmth to rich overdriven textures packed with attitude. Blend clean and driven signals to retain the fundamental punch of your bass while adding just the right amount of grit and character.

Built for the demands of modern bassists, Basspresso features a professional XLR DI output for direct connection to front-of-house systems, recording interfaces, and studio consoles, alongside a parallel ¼" output for seamless integration with your amplifier setup. Whether you're performing under stage lights, recording your next masterpiece, or simply exploring new sonic territory at home, Basspresso is always ready to deliver.

Handcrafted in small batches in Melbourne, Australia, every Basspresso pedal is assembled, tested, and fine-tuned with care. From the first note to the last drop, Basspresso is your daily dose of deep tone — served fresh, strong, and unmistakably TONECAT.
