DNA Analogic BD-1 Bass Dragger

December, 2006

While you must excuse the manual’s poorly translated Japanese (On the battery location: “Earning the strength of case and limiting the troubles or damages …”), the DNA Analogic was a superb performer. Its aluminum case was thick and substantial and the domed metal knobs are among the most heavy-duty I’ve encountered.


Sonically, it’s relatively one-dimensional, providing a mellifluous fur at lower boost settings and gradually folding-in upper-harmonics and soft-handed compression as the knob was turned. The bass and treble controls coax interesting color from the well-behaved clipping circuit, with treble having a particularly potent impact on texture and tone. I also liked the DNA’s just-right note envelope: It’s lies perfectly between squishy softness and brutal immediacy.
