Best Bass overdrive/distortion

[blnkbnkr]

Seen a Boss Heavy Metal used with good results. You can scoop the mids pretty dramatically w/ those.

For a not-so-fizzy, sorta 'natural' sound, the best I've heard is the Fulltone Bass-Drive. They sell it for $199, so that's in your price range, too.

Anyone heard this tube distortion pedal? It seems like it may be a cool unit, and I was talking to a friend who plays standup with a pickup and says he loves it, it just growls. I thought it may be interesting to see what other people say about it, b/c I have never heard it or how it works with a conventional electric setup.

Anybody heard anything about this box? Dagosto, it claims to keep the low end happening.

The Boss MT-2 (Metal Zone) also sounds pretty gnarly on a bass, you can scoop the mids all to hell as well.

I played one in a shop in chicago. I like it except for the fact that you can't get a real subtle tone out of it. even when you turn the gain WAY down, it still sounds like a distortion and not an overdrive. granted, if you're looking for bass distortion, this thing's crazy.

I just bought the HAO Rust Ride and am sending it back. SERIOUS signal drop when you engage it and it sounds surprisingly tinny.

Thanks John. I'll have to try one of those out myself.
