About this pedal
Scrolls is a dual-channel bass tone tool built with bassist Kentaro Nakao, combining an active 3-band EQ channel (with a sweepable variable-frequency control and three tone-sculpting switches) with a separate tube-amp-like drive channel. It also includes a buffered parallel out, an onboard effects loop, and a balanced XLR output with light analog cabinet-style filtering, aimed at covering an entire bass rig in one box.
