Specs
Knobs
- Master
- Whereas the Level Knob controls the output of the overdrive section the Master volume adjusts the overall volume of the unit. Ideal for fine tuning the output on clean mode. It also serves as a DI level control
- Blend
- Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine control of the blend ratio
- Level
- Sets the volume of the overdriven signal
- Drive
- Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal
- Bass
- +-12dB @ 100Hz
- Low Mid
- +-12dB switchable 250Hz, 500Hz and 1kHz
- Hi Mid
- +-12dB switchable 750Hz, 1.5KHz and 3kHz
- Treble
- +-12dB @ 5kHz
Toggle switches
- Bite
- Boosts High Mids (2.8kHz) for additional presence and definition
- Growl
- Shelving Bass Boost for a fatter tone and increased low end saturation
- Cab Sim
- Toggle the cabinet simulation on/off on the Direct Output. This switch completely bypasses all digital circuits and allows you to get a zero latency signal when needed.

Outputs
- Direct Output
- A balanced version of the ¼” output, useful for running into PA’s or studio mixing consoles
- Instrument Output
- Output for your amp
- USB
- A Micro USB B connector allows you to connect the pedal to PC/Mac to load cabinet simulation impulse responses to the pedal and control various other settings.
- Headphones
- B7K Ultra has an internal stereo headphone amplifier capable of driving a minimum load of 16 ohms from the 3.5mm stereo jack. Use the Master volume control to adjust the level.
- Aux in
- This 3.5mm stereo input allows you to practice with backing tracks from e.g. your smartphone or laptop. Auxiliary input can only be used with the headphone output. The pedal does not control the level, it must be set from your audio source. Remember to always first set the level low before connecting anything to the aux in!
