Rocket Surgeon StarLifter
With its effortless tone shaping and robust DI, the StarLifter qualifies as an almost indispensable device in a bassist’s signal chain. Its 3-way contour switch lays a timbral foundation with optional scooped or punchy, mid-forward settings, and its 3-band EQ is expanded with a flexible mid-frequency control. An impedance switch adjusts the input to 1M- or 10M-ohm operation—crucial for optimizing the pickups of different instruments. A definite best-in-class contender.
