The Eko Analogue Bass Pedal probably dates back to the mid-1970s. It was probably built by Eko as an addition to organs such as the LS-10-P and is comparable to the Moog Taurus bass pedal from 1975. Three other versions upgrades were launched: Eko bass K1 (1981), Eko bass K2, Eko bass K3.

The Eko Bass Pedal is a foot-operated bass analog synthesizer, featuring a 13 notes pedal (C-C) with 5 buttons and few tonal controls. It's basically a monophonic machine which generates 2 sounds that can be mixed at different octaves: reed 16' + 8' and string 16' + 8'. There is a simple divider circuit with 12 tuning trimmers.
