Featuring a sophisticated new design, easy analog operation and nine new dedicated bass effects, the 506 MKII Bass takes the world’s most popular compact multi-effect bass effects pedal to a new level of performance.

The 506 MKII's molded chassis with its sleek, flowing lines and Champagne Gold finish offers a sleek, stylish appearance that is built to last. Extremely durable space-age plastic and a flat control surface take the worry out of carrying it in the same case with other pedals.

As part of its enhanced design, the 506 MKII features new bass distortion effects including Rich, Tube, Band Pass Enhancer and High Pass Enhancer; new bass modulation effects including Cry, Step, Defret, Pitch and Echo and a range of bass amp modeling effects.

The 506 MKII includes a total of 33 bass effects in seven modules. Up to nine effects can be used at the same time.

A large rotary selector, easy-to-read red LED display and foot switches make the 506 MKII truly user friendly. Sounds can be easily stored in up to 36 patch locations.

Other features include: ZNR (Zoom Noise Reduction); 28 hours of continuous operation with four size AA alkaline batteries along with AC operation; a rear panel input for an available expression pedal; an integrated auto chromatic tuner and more.

The new 506 MKII has an MSRP of $144.99.
