Tech 21 dUg Pinnick DP-3X

The Tech 21 dUg Pinnick DP-3X is a super-compact adaptation of the Ultra Bass 1000 Signature head, designed to recreate the immense sound dUg originally developed in the 80s. By merging high-end distortion with low-end bass, the Tech 21 dUg Pinnick DP-3X streamlines a massive rig—which traditionally required a guitar amp, a bass amp, and a rack of effects—into a single, all-analog pedal. Personally beta-tested by dUg on a European tour, the Tech 21 dUg Pinnick DP-3X delivers a consistent, professional tone regardless of the venue backline, ensuring your signature sound remains intact every night.

Key Features:

• All-Analog Technology: Provides the warmth, responsiveness, and musicality of a traditional analog signal path.
• Dual Operation Modes: Offers Mix mode for dUg’s signature tone or a clean mode for traditional bass amp sounds.
• Chunk Control: Specifically designed to dial in high-end distortion and upper harmonics for a gritty, bi-amped sound.
• Integrated FET-Based Compressor: Utilizes old-school technology for a more transparent and musical compression that enhances low-end sustain.
• 3-Band Active EQ: Features a switchable Mid Shift (325Hz or 700Hz) and +/- 18dB of cut or boost for precise tonal shaping.
• 10dB Gain Switch: Provides a significant boost to drive the signal for additional distortion and compression.
• Built-In Chromatic Tuner: Ensures you stay in tune without needing a separate pedal on your board.
• XLR Output: Features a ground lift to go direct to the PA desk or studio board without losing detail or responsiveness.
• Headphone Mode: Switchable output allows for silent practice anywhere while maintaining high-quality tone.
• Rugged Housing: Constructed with an all-metal chassis and silent-switching custom actuators for professional-grade durability.

Designed for those who demand power without the weight, the Tech 21 dUg Pinnick DP-3X redefines portable bass performance. Whether you need the gnarly, bi-amped grind of King’s X or a versatile clean preamp for studio sessions, this pedal captures the innovation and craftsmanship that sets Tech 21 apart. The Tech 21 dUg Pinnick DP-3X is a complete rig-in-a-box that provides the flexibility to find your own unique voice while delivering the legendary punch and top-end bite of a rock icon.
