bass overdrives available

[fugazi]

hey there,

I am probably very very very uninformed on bass effects. can u guys tell me what overdrives are there for bass guitars. The only one i know off nand tested is the boss one. It didnt take my breath away and the price didnt really help for the sound i got.Dont worry about the price, just list to me the overdrives available and if they are any good and where i can find em.


cheers,

main difference is probably the frequency range. there are overdrives retain enough lows to be used with bass. The OCD is a good example.

Thing is, it's usually the higher end pedals that have the range. If you are going to spend that amount, you are better off looking at bass specific overdrives.

If not, a you can always put the overdrive in the loop of the a blend pedal like the Barge Concepts VB-JR or Xotic X-Blender to mix in some of the clean bass.

Same here. I just plug my bass into my guitar pedalboard. ODs and distortion sound fine on bass, it's just the modulations I have a problem with.
