The Bass Nirvana is bass guitar analogue delay pedal. This pedal has a very warm tone and a deep rich sound which is great for the bass guitar. 4 control knobs allowing you to set your perfect tone, level, delay and repeats and the Nirvana will give you up to 620ms of delay.
The blue halo light ring installed diffuses the light when playing live, avoiding being blinded by the standard LEDs just as you are about to go into that all important solo thus giving a larger area to see where the pedal is located easily on the pedal board on darkened stages. The addition of the aluminium foot topper gives you more real estate for contact when switching the pedal on and off during quick changes when playing live.
All Flattley “Platinum Range” pedals are hand processed in our Flattley paint shop. The bare aluminium enclosure is abraded prior to painting with the etch primer. The etch primer acts as a anti corrosive layer and allows the primer to bond to the enclosure ensuring a tough resilient paint finish.
Multiple coats of base coat primer are applied which are then lightly abraded to remove any blemishes or paint speckles prior to the application of the base colour. We apply several coats of base colour until an even coverage occurs and the base colour develops rich smooth depth. Metallic holographic chrome flake is then applied using a clear inter coat which adds that all important Flattley sparkle.
The pedal enclosure is now ready to be hydro dipped in its Flattley graphics. This is the process whereby the graphics are applied using water activated film, the residual PVA film is then washed off and the enclosure is then allowed to dry naturally.
Once dried the lacquer process begins. Each “Flattley Platinum” pedal has a minimum of three coats of lacquer which are all wet sanded between coats. Once the lacquer has hardened, it is then hand polished using three different grades of polishing compounds and it then has a final polish to achieve a high gloss finish using a wool finishing pad. This process gives the smooth deep lustre finish that is inherent in all Flattley Guitar and Bass effects pedals.

An excellent analog delay pedal. Look away if you’re a fan of digital delays, this little gem is rich and warm and works brilliantly at creating soundscapes. The tone knob controls the warmth and the delay and feedback time allow anything from slapback to crazy self oscillation. The finishing on the pedal is first class and they offer some great lighting options, I went for a glowing plate! Highly recommend you try one of these out.

Absolutely a killer pedal. This thing is super hot, I’m currently using it with the delay all the way down and it’s an awesome room echo effect. The controls are great and design is awesome.
