So how does it sound?
Well it's huge and most importantly musical. The Wazinator KSB319 has a hefty low end
with a round and woody tone. The frequency response fits perfectly below an acoustic guitar
making it the ultimate companion for a solo artist. OR if your a percussionist this is a very
portable acoustic kick drum.

Frequency measured in Hz
If you don't mind reading graphs check out the strength of the bottom end
signal shown below. The image is taken from the PAZ-Frequency analysis
plug-in from Waves. The graph shows the peak frequency response for a
standard "stomp" on the Wazinator KSB319

Big round sound
Notice the strength of the low end signal. This is great for that thudding
sound but equally important is a touch of upper frequencies. Around
1000 Hz represents the acoustic tone of the Wazinator and lets it be
heard in the mix.

MP3 Audio samples
This is the Wazinators' DI sound, that is the Direct Input sound.
This is the sound that you feed to your PA desk or bass amp. There
is no EQ applied to this recording.

Feedback?
Feedback is a common problem with homemade stomp boxes. The
microphone in the box can pick up vibrations in timber stages and
transfer the rumbling sound to the speakers causing a low end
feedback loop.The main cause of this feedback is from boosting the low
frequencies very high. The Wazinator generates it's bottom end
using a patent pending pump action design and requires little low
frequency boosting. The KSB319 is also inherently resistant to
feedback at high volumes.

This is Greg Sheehan getting down on 2
Wazinator Stompboxes. The Wazinator
underfoot is the bass drum sound coming
through a PA speaker. The second
Wazinator is on Gregs lap with a BOSS
T-Wah effects pedal going into the Fender
amp. No EQ has been
added to this recording. Enjoy.....

This is Greg Sheehan playing 2 Wazinators as in the video below,
only the T-Wah effect is turn off to show the natural woody tone of
the Wazinator.

Built in safely valve
The Wazinator KSB319 is equipped with a safety valve that lets excess
air out when you kick hard. This safely feature is designed to prevent you
from blowing your speakers with an all mighty stomp. The valve acts like
an gain compressor and in no way effects the sound quality at lower
pressure stomps, it only affects very heavy stomping.

Passive pickup design
The pickup on the KSB319 is entirely passive. The main
advantage of a passive design is that it needs no power supply. Also there
are no flat batteries to worry about during a live performance. An average
stomp produces about -8 dB of gain which is about the same as an electric
guitar with hummbucking pickups. This means it is suitable for direct
input into a bass amp, but may need a preamp boost into a mixing desk.
