The X2C Dual Compressor and Effects Loop Crossover Pedal from Phil Jones Bass gives you versatile tone shaping in one powerful pedal. It features dual compression bands that divide your signal into low and high frequencies, allowing you to dial in different effects for articulate tone refinement.

Dual Compression Bands for Precise Tone Control

The X2C utilizes dual compression bands to split your signal into low and high frequencies ranging from 100Hz to 500Hz. This gives you independent control over dynamics for punchy low end and shimmering highs. Adjust the threshold, attack and release on each band to compress just the right amount, preserving clarity and naturalness. The dual band design is more flexible than single band compressors for crafting your ideal bass tone.

Unlock Creativity with Dual Effects Loops

Insert jacks on each compression band let you tap into the X2C's dual effects loops. Plug in your favorite pedals like overdrive, distortion or chorus and control them separately. For example, add gritty overdrive to the lows while using chorus to give the highs a swirling texture. The possibilities are endless when you can shape effects for specific frequency ranges.

Functions as an Electronic Crossover

The X2C also serves as a high-quality electronic crossover, making it ideal for driving 2-way bass amplification systems. Send the low band to a bass amp and the high band to a guitar amp or PA for punchy lows and sparkling highs through dedicated speakers. The X2C gives you the versatility of a crossover unit and dual compressor in one compact, portable pedal.

Use Insert Jacks for Custom FX Combos

The crossover feature provides insert jacks for each frequency band so you can run different effects through the highs and lows. You might run an overdrive pedal through the low band to add growl to your bass tone without distorting the highs. Or run a modulation effect like chorus through the high band to create a shimmering layer over a clean low end. The options are endless with the X2C's ability to split your signal into discrete bands, each with its own insert jacks.

Essential Tool for High-Performance Rig

The X2C also functions as an electronic crossover for running a bi-amped rig. Send the low band to one amplifier and the high band to another for ultimate flexibility and control. This is ideal for dialing in the perfect tone when using bass amps with different speaker types. The X2C gives you studio-quality dynamic control and tone-shaping tools in a portable pedal, making it an essential piece of gear for serious bassists.
