[QUOTE="geolemon, post: 376133, member: 547749"] The Epicenter is a fun little toy... as long as you understand that's what it is. It works just like an octave pedal, if you are a musician... It simply uses certain frequencies, to clone them and mathematically divide them in half (creating notes exactly one octave lower), and blends them back into the music in real-time, at a level that you control with the little knob. I believe it uses frequencies in the 50hz-160hz range, to create "fake bass" in the 25-80hz range. That's essentially all the classic Epicenter did. The Epic-150 came out, and it was a dash-mount unit (bummer), but it included a 150dB decibel meter (cool) and a built in voltage display (cool). Then, they revamped it again, and turned it into the Epic-160, by upping the meter to a 160dB decibel meter. It's certainly no sound quality device, and it won't make your bass louder... But what it can do is take music that otherwise doesn't have any bass, and make it boom-worthy... Which can be cool, or funny, depending on whether you are spicing up otherwise thin rap music, or decided to turn on the local country music channel...
