MAGMA BASS

Low-end harmonic enhancer that makes bass audible on small speakers.

Small speakers like the ones in phones and laptops can't play very low notes. MAGMA BASS adds a layer of harmonics above the bass, so you can still hear the bass on those speakers. Frequency picks where the harmonics start and Intensity sets how much to add. Switch Orig. Bass to Out to remove the original lows and keep only the harmonics.
