High Pass Filter Bass Guitar For Sale (2024 Update)

A friend of mine recommended this to me and I'm greatful. I use this high pass filter to cut low frequencies going to my in-ear monitor and also to cut low hz on side wash powered monitors. I get plenty of bass from my main subs so the Shure A15HP is a good fit for my situation.Dank

For location interview sound in semi-uncontrolled environments, this cuts the lows without completely compromising voice quality. You don't always have room for a mixer and an extra person so when you are sending a mic directly into a camera, this really streamlines your sound quickly.Stephen

It is nothing more than a non-polarized capacitor whose value (pennies) was selected for the crossover freq. relative to speaker resistance.It is the simplest and least effective 6db crossover design possible which allows the woofer's upper freq. to roll off and into tweeter freq. Basic low freq. protection of tweeter is all this is about.Parts Express Customer - 10050

Distortion/overdrive/fuzz pedals are difficult to get right. There are different "flavors" of dirt, differing amounts available, and there's the issues around EQ coloration and loss of low end. The Aguilar Agro has a nice flavor (kind of retro tube instead of overly modern), a wide range of amount (from none to pretty fuzzy), but best of all what it does and does not do to your overall tone shape. I find that it does not lose my fundamental low frequency and it does not impose a baked-in EQ (such as a mid-scoop) for me to struggle against. It's just my bass, sounding just as it always does, but with a really nice crunch added to it. Simple. But hard to get right. Nice job, Aguilar.scottfeldstein

Minus one star because it's frankly overpriced. Otherwise this pedal is excellent and the best use of 4 knobs in any current envelope filter. You can get a little more out of some of the filters with 6 or 8 controls. But for effective simplicity this pedal is fantastic. You can get a modest variety of albeit similar sounds, but nearly every setting is usable. This alone is more rare than it should be in pedals. The twin filter is incredibly well tuned. And generally easy and pleasurable to use. The only issue I have is with its price. I design audio electronics professionally and can guess at the cost to produce. And the main circuit they sadly chose to pot. Someone looking to "steal" this non-patentable design could still do so but it makes modification and repair near impossible. They should ditch the potting and set a lower price because they should be selling more of these very good pedals.Marty McFlurr

With this pedal I'm able to get the perfect amount of grit for my bass while keeping the "sound" of the pickups and keeping 98% of the low end. Love this pedal! Will definitely purchase again if and when this one dies.Kevin

After watching several reviews about delay pedals I decided to go for the Deluxe Memory Boy. One of the features that I was after was tap delay which this pedal has. It is versatile and simple to use. Over all, I think I made the right choice.Reviewed by Andertons Music Co.

Made for sounds engineers, really. Not just a pick up pedal like distortions. Each knob is part of an overall balance. If you use it right, it will add amazing layers to your sound. Been playing 20 years nonstop. Rock, jazz, metal, classic, indie.stemic_8309

I don't review every product I buy but this one I think deserves more kudos than I think it gets credit for. It's an analog delay so that means it's going to have characteristics that will seem strange if you are coming directly from something like a Boss Digital Delay and don't have experience with Analog Delays. But compared to something like a Carbon Copy, the repeats are brighter and much more pristine and precise. It doesn't get nearly as hissy and "swirly" as the Carbon Copy and the repeats don't saturate nearly as quickly. It's a good medium between the Carbon copy and something super bright and chorus-ey as the Deluxe Memory Man. It also quite a character to the sound, not too dark, and not too bright. It's not nearly as sterile sounding as things like the Way Huge Supa Puss, Memory Lane, and the JHS panther. But yeah, let's just say I have no limit to what I can spend on delays. I tried them all, and chose this!DreamscapeHero

I picked up a pair of these Crossovers with some replacement Piezo Tweeters to keep the lower frequencies from damaging the new tweeters. They worked quite well in filtering out stray midrange and bass octaves, and, gave the highs an airy sound. Using a pair of Dynavox LW5004PMR-N 5-1/2" Poly Cone Woofers, I was able to safely put back the frequencies that the High Pass Crossover filtered out. I would recommend and probably purchase more of these in the future, if needed.Julio

I wasn't sure what I needed for the horn I had so I contacted parts express via email and told the I'm a bass player and I want to put this horn in my bass rig but have no idea which crossover to match it with. The directed me to this one. It is perfectly matched for my PH44 . It works great and I learned something about crossovers in the process. Thank you Tech support at Parts express!! I'll be back!!Michael

I used these to install into a pair of floor wedges that came with piezo horn drivers. I replaced those with true 1" horn drivers, (Pyle drivers from PE), and because piezos don't require a x-over, and Carvin didn't supply any in the cabinets, I installed these to keep from frying out the new horn drivers. Works great. I highly recommend using these whenever you go from piezo drivers to the real deal.Jose

Bought this for use with my bass based on the great experience I have had with the Venue DI for my acoustic. Easy to set up and very intuitive. Able to achieve all the tone shaping I need. You can do straight DI OR hit the foot switch and get extra shaping including a moderate OD. Highly recommend for any bassist who can or needs to go straight to the board. I would say it can even be used in recoding situations as well.spotmarker

This crossover like everything I have purchase from Parts Express has performed to my expectations or even better…a pleasure to do business with. Paul Daytona Beach, FLPaul

I have a pair of Magnepan 0.7 speakers and tried to limit the lowest bass frequencies by using this passive crossover. Since this crossover must be placed in series with the entire speaker, there were some very audible side effects. Most notably was that 1) a lot more amplifier power was needed with the crossover installed and 2) the overall sound quality worsened. Note that the crossover did exactly what it was supposed to do – limit the lowest frequencies. But this was definitely not the correct application for it. The crossover is well made and should work fine when used to only limit the lowest frequencies going only to a 4 ohm woofer. Still recommended!John

Nice piece. Works as advertised. A little on the larger side but understandable for the wattage rating. Speaking of W rating, these took all my tpro L4Z-4002 could throw at them like champs. Installed in .78 cubic foot, slot ported 8" enclosures with Goldwood Delmar series heavy duty woofers. The idea was to build a dedicated mid-bass set. Unfortunately they sounded better wide open, letting the box do the roll off. Will probably use the LPF's on the Dayton 15's I just bought for a 3 way project I'm planning.Jason

Great little crossover for non-audiophile projects. It always so easy to just order these pre-assembled crossovers for misc projects and they mount clean. They do their job and accept 16awg wire with no issues, easy to solder and easy to mount. For high end applications or for high power applications you will probably have to assemble one on your own.BSav

GM Van with factory head unit, 6.5" Infinity Kappa front door speakers and powered 100W/ 6" Bazooka sub behind passenger seat. Sub crossed at 85hz/18db. These crossovers (100hz/12db) on the 6.5's cover the gap nicely with no spike or dip in midbass and improve overall clarity greatly. I did this on my last van. Total cost with DIY installation… $350.00 (Cappas, Bazooka, Crossovers). Van has a carpeted partition behind seats. Sound quality is unbelievable for $350 bucks. These quality crossovers are the magic ingredient in such a budget system. Plenty of volume but this is clearly not a high spl system for head bangers.GREGG

Ive been using the triple envelope filter by IQ for about 3 years now. I love the thing. I can get some real nasty synth sounds by combing it with a pitch shifter at one or two octaves above. The switch has some pops occasionally, after extensive use, but I could just get that fixed by a tech. This is a great buy!Kevin-KjV65

I know own the EBS BassIQ Triple Envelope Filter Pedal and must say that I have long seached for a pedal with full pumping bass sound with that funky Bootsy shwoop. I have a Bass POD live and an Agent 00Funk Mark2, but neither really captures the funk. I have tried the E.H.Auto Q and Micro Q tron, the Otto line 6 filter, the DigiTech Bass Synth Wah X-Series, Ashdown Bass Envelope Filter Pedal, and the Line 6 FM4 Filter Stompbox Modeler Pedal. They all fell short of what I wanted in in a funkifying basstronic electomodulification!! The EBS seems to have been desinged by and built for BASS players. The up mode has a classic funk sound but lets uses the full thick bass sound going in and does not change it into some thin guitar sound. The down mode has the expected shorter percussive drop off. Then the Hi-Q adds a whole new dimension to the classic sound which is quite fun. I have not had the chance to acquire a Mu-tron, but I think this comes close to matching the Iconic Funikiness that I searched for over the years! I would highly recommend this product and will likely be checking out thier other pedals when the chance arrisies!Funk Daddy

Initially unimpressed with the Baseballs,on a quick rip out of the box on a practice amp it sounded unspecial and a bit… meh. However, in rehearsal running hot through the 600w it was a weapon, great wah and growl, with its own dirt setting and then also double-dirt through another pedal. Very happy.blackerz101

It has one function, with varying intensity and the addition of fuzz. I'll admit, it was an impulse buy that I figured I'd try and send back, but fell in love with it. It may not have a universe of tones inside, but what it does is so funky and cool, I'll never part with it. Put a fuzz in front of it and it goes awesomely crazy. Solid, simple, American made and just cool.Metalbass1979

Fun, quirky filter. Very simple and easy to dial in. Not much tweekablity; only does two tones, clean and distorted, but does them well. The twin filters give it a vocal quality distinctly different from the normal single filter in most pedals. Retains low end really well. Distorted mode nails Flea's "sir psycho sexy" tone. Clean mode sounds a little week on it's own, but running it into a light overdrive or compression fattens it up nicely. Works better Infront of dirt than most filters because the sweep is short.Graham B.

Very complicated, but worth it. The phaser if programmed correct is awesone too. Takes a lot of time but worth the effort.Bass Fatz

There's a lot to love about this pedal – great sound quality, a ton of useful effects, expression pedal input, 6 storable presets, and so much user control. While I love it, I'm not all that thrilled about the build quality. The case is a high-grade plastic, and not metal like most stomp boxes. The faceplate is stuck on with some kind of PSA adhesive, and when I got mine, the whole lower right corner was "lifting" off. I pressed it down to get it to re-stick, which it did for about 10 minutes, and then simply lifted up again. The left plastic button that controls the left EQ cursor movement contacts this faceplate when pressed, so some of the time it doesn't return back up completely, and requires some special attention…. The 6 user presets are stored in 2 banks of 3, and to toggle between the banks, you have to press a small plastic button. This button could have been made larger for better access on stage. In a studio, it's not an issue, but on stage it's not easy to access or actuate. There are a ton of user controlled parameters, but the ones on the "back page" aren't entirely easily accessible, and the little abbrebiations they give you at the top of the setting "band" aren't easily read. Then there's the whole varaible led indicator selection light issue. Both with the effect selection dial, and the eq/parameters band readout, it isn't really easy to tell what "value" you have set because there aren't enough lights to correspoond with the values. They use what I think is a silly double light, and variable brightness way to kinda tell you where these values are set. In the case of the effect selection dial, some of the effects are indicated by a single LED, but then the values in-between are indicated by a double light that spans 2 selections, and there's no way to tell what value is actually set unless you "rock" the wheel back an forth to see what the surrounding settings are. This can be problematic as well on the eq band readout when accessing the back page. When assigning a value to an input, they refer to values as numbers, but you have to carefully count how many clicks you've turned the dial. I don't know – it's a great pedal, sounds fantastic, but the user interface is horrible. A couple easy things that would make it better: 1.) a sensativity knob that would set the pedal to trip the envelope to playing dynamics. It seems that the harder you play, the louder the effect, BUT the envelope responds the same, just louder or softer. Maybe I'm missing where this can be set somewhere? I don't think so. 2.) An output volume knob that isn't buried on the "back page." Give me a knob on the front, and don't have me select through parameters (nor require me to remember which one it is) on the back page to set the output level. There are a ton of envelope filters out there, and this one is really nice with a host of configurable options, but due to what I think is a poor user interface, and build construction, it would not be my first choice to use live. I will never retire my MXR envelope filter, and although it may not be anywhere near as sonically flexible, I know if I drop it, it'll still keep working. This one, I don't know, and will leave home.tony

I've been highpassing my satellites with a single capacitor at line level with a diy splitter, sending full range RCA signal to a diy sub as well. Revisiting these FMOD highpass plugs, they provide a little more than the recommended 250hz 2 slope highpass for a pair of BG Neo10 planar based two way satellites. My small class A amplifier maintains the power savings from a prior diy cap/splitter on its inputs, and again it sounds much more lifelike than using a cap at speaker level for highpass protection. It also has better sound than using my active 4th order crossover. Since both my sub and satellites are sealed, the electrical 2 slope of the satellites and their sealed 2 slope acoustic bass rolloff sums audibly perfectly with the subwoofer output, which uses a Dayton SPA 1000 plate amplifier. Using its 3 band parametric equalizer with a fairly narrow Q, 4db cut centred at 80 hertz knocks down a room mode. Clarifying things even further, its 2 Scanspeak supplied buyout 10 inch drivers lower harmonic distortion with a sealed heavily stuffed push pull bipole arrangement. Finally my audible torture test is passed in flying full colours. Like A Rolling Stone, Bob Dylan, almost no distortion or weird phasey effects, the multi tracks are easily heard, especially Bob's sibilant free hoarse vocals. For Your Love, The Yardbirds. Clean and punchy, finally the harpsichord sounds just like a harpsichord, and the artificial reverb is obviously artificial. Kicks, Paul Revere And the Raiders. Clean clean clean, plenty of undistorted non splashy treble throughout. A lot of natural room ambience, more than before is easily heard now. Less gain riding with movies now than before for late night. Keeping the loudest parts neighbour friendly doesn't lose quiet vocals intelligibility. Relieving my amplifier of deep bass current demands not only protects the midranges, it allows the amplifier to controll the more audible parts of the spectrum better.Mitchell

I used a pair of these high-pass filters in a classroom PA system installation for our local Oasis — Continuing Education For Seniors 50+ for which I'm the volunteer tech person. The PA system is designed for speech intelligibility, not for wide frequency response, since many of the seniors have hearing loss, typically a loss of high-frequency hearing (so-called ski-slope hearing loss). A couple of the presenters bring in music tracks with extremely loud bass. The PA system with its small speakers distributed around the classroom ceiling cannot handle the artificially louder low bass, and simply distort. Inclusion of one or more of these high-pass filters eliminates the loud bass problem and also eliminates any hum that a presenter's equipment may make. Result? Crisp, clear sound, and a room full of happy senior citizens!! Mike/Mike

Both crossovers were received OK. Therefore, full marks. However fitting these boxes into the shipping box caused it to split as the crossover box is longer than the amplifier boxes that fitted perfectly.Michael S.

This crossover works well, is solidly built, and for $200.00 is a great buy. I use this for a tri-amped home hi-fi system, and it does exactly what I want. It has VERY low noise, great adjustability, and a handful of important features (eg: phase correction for every frequency band) without a million unnecessary bells and whistles. If you want to use it as I do, you will need 1/4 inch-to-RCA adaptors. You won't believe how much better things sound with an active crossover and designated amps/speakers. It's night and day. If you require XLR connections, you'll have to get the 234SX which is a little more money.heatherchris23h1

I use this active crossover in a tri-amped stereo system. The low noise of this unit results in extremely clean stereo sound! Passive crossovers in speakers cause distortion and waste amplifier power.Kevin A.
