Chaos Custom Shop Sub Sonic Filter

Chaos Custom Shop · pedal

The Chaos Custom Shop Sub Sonic Filter is a specialized low-cut filtering pedal for bass, designed to remove ultra-low, inaudible sub-frequencies that can waste amplifier headroom, cause speaker excursion issues, or muddy a mix without adding any audible tonal benefit. Built by Chaos Custom Shop, a boutique maker specializing in precise bass signal-shaping tools, it offers a more targeted solution than a general high-pass filter for extreme low-frequency content.
