[[Bass effects]] are electronic effects units that are designed for use with the low pitches created by an electric bass or for an [[upright bass]] used with a bass amp or [[PA system]]. Two examples of bass effects are [[fuzz bass]] and [[bass chorus]].  Some [[bass amplifier]]s have built-in effects, such as [[distortion (music)|overdrive]] or [[chorus effect|chorus]]. [[Upright bass]]ists in jazz, folk, blues and similar genres may use a bass [[preamplifier]], a small electronic device that matches the impedance between the [[piezoelectric pickup]] and the amp or PA system. Bass preamps also allow for the gain of the signal to be boosted or cut. Some models also offer equalization controls, a compressor, and a [[DI box]] connection.
