Overdrive/Distortion pedal you play with your Beta!

[Andy's Junky Music]

Okay I've finally got my PL-20 up and running and planned on using the Boss ODB-3 bass overdrive with it ala King Buzzo but when I tried it today I was a little underwhelmed.  I'm not giving up on it yet just seeing what everyone else is tryin...so post your beta rig!!!

I play through a Beta Bass into Sunn 415, and with a Beta lead pushing a Sunn 4x12 and Sunn 1x18.
I use an Electro harmonix switchblade pedal to run it all together. I distort the 415 with a 70's
Electro Harmonix Big Muff but leave the others clean. Sometimes I throw in a E/H Micro Bass synth pedal when it's time to get trippy. I can get a pretty gnarly tone outta this rig. I don't know maybe there's a better way to run this beast. Let me know.

This might not help but...

I'm currently playing bass through my 1st Gen. Model-T and I've been pretty satisfied with an old Tube Works tube driver I picked up off a friend.  It just sounds so warm yet, angry.

Yeah, I have no idea how Buzz used a Blue Whale, but you can only get crazy fucking sounds out of that thing. But with my Beta, I use a Proco rat, and it I get it right, I can get a Buzz like sound out of it.

However, with the bass overdrive, Buzz doesn't use a regular Beta lead, he uses two beta pre-amps. I don't know if that makes a difference, but it might.

When y'all use a dist pedal on your beta bass where do you have the drive knob at? I run a beta 2x15 & a beta 1x15 cab with mine & usually just use the beta bass drive w/o a pedal. Does anyone use both channels as opposed to just A or B?
