Origin Effects has released the Bassrig Fifteen, an all-analog pedal that replicates the Ampeg B-15 Portaflex bass amplifier. The British company measured and analyzed a vintage unit before recreating its complete signal path using solid-state components, aiming to capture both the tonal characteristics and playing response of the studio favorite.
The pedal includes a DI output with integrated cabinet simulation and offers three operational modes. FX mode activates the simulation only when engaged, allowing clean DI bypass. On mode maintains constant simulation for use with other pedals, while Off mode disables the cabinet emulation entirely for alternative processing chains or direct recording. A standard quarter-inch output connects to traditional amplifiers, with adjustable low and high-cut switches plus variable EQ controls for tonal shaping.
Origin Effects is also offering its Cali76 Bass Compressor in a matching Fifteen Blue finish. The pedal retails for $449 excluding VAT or €459.
