Bass Distortion Pedal

[Oli]

Oli, do you think you could record a demo of the pedal for me?

Shure, it's now in the rehersal room but i did some experiments with my daw before (just the padal into the AD). Though I hope you don't mind the awful playing, I was more into the tunring the kobs this very evening.... . I'll send it within the next days...

Hi,

here is the mp3er, I did send it to your personal mailbox aswell. It was just a loosy test when I bought it in San Rafaels, a 2008 P-bass into the AD then into the daw with my fav. sound.
Sorry for delay but I managed to kill my V4 B last weekend and heave not managed to repair my 350B yet, so I have a stockpile of broken amps right now.

Greetings

I willing to bet that when your SFT arrives you'll be so smitten with it that you might just leave it on all the time. That's the case for most people that I know who own the SFT. It's an awesome pedal, to say the least.

haha I guess I will! I'm actually planning on doing intro's and quieter part with it and when I want to go up a notch I add the 2 other amps on the SCOD! that will be godly! I hope!

I like the Tronographic Rusty Box, which is based off of the preamp section of a Traynor TS-50B, so you can use it either as a boost/distortion pedal or as a preamp.

sounds great, right now I would prefer these boost boxes, they are easy to handle...

I just test drive my new SFT and found out the Sonaro bass head sound much better in the 2000 2x15 with it!
this cab as a bigger volume and new Big Bens so it can push out a lot more bottom with more definition.

this SFT blows away the Bass Big Muff big time! totally worth every penny.

sounds like having a real gain channel on my Sonaro now! amazing!

will post some clips...I'm stoked!

I told you that SFT would rock your world!!! The voicing on that pedal is amazing, and is perfect for Sunn amps.

Look, let's talk bass distortion

There are all sorts of different approaches you can take here.
You could go for the cheesy digital approach, and spend 80 dollars on a pedal that will sound, well, like an 80 dollar pedal. For instance, the go to bass distortion is the Boss Bass Overdrive. Not the worst thing out there, but certainly not the best. EHX makes wonderful fuzz pedals and what not, if you get a Sovtek Muff (the black one) you'll find it has a higher register than the typical Big Muff.

I like to go a different route.

Try the Megalith Fuzz pedal. OR if you want to search for this guy, try getting your hands on the Sanford and Sonny BLUE BEARD FUZZ. This fuzz pedal sounds like "Cliff Burton playing through a Model T that has just burst into flames"
