Make sure you start at the first part! Part 1 Here Part 2 Here
Pedal 1 VS Pedal 2: - Imagine each pedal cost exactly the same
- Imagine the only knob on each pedal is volume
- Attempted to record at equal volume
- Same bass, same settings.
- You must choose one of them, hot gig tonight and you need OD/Dist
Which would you buy, and why?

|  | I'm a tumbler, born under punches | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Northern California | | | I'm curious to hear what pedals were used each go round.
The hard part is that in general the two are different enough that it's just a matter of taste.
In this case pedal 1 sounds like an XXLB with the warp turned all the way down and pedal 2 sounds like it could be a Flipster or VT Bass set mildly. What it really sounds like is the Urso Splinter I had a long time ago. 1 sounds like distortion and 2 sounds like a low gain tube emulation.
This one is tougher to choose than the other two, but if pressed I'd probably say 1.

However I probably still wouldn't buy it because I am pretty happy in gain pedals currently...but the challenge has been fun. |

| | | | i liked #1 more for most of the same reasons as bongo did. if i could tweak it to not sound quite so tinny, i'd be in business! |

| | | I like Pedal 1 as long as I can use my EQ with it. I know it probable is not, but it sounds vaguely similar to my Boss ODB-3.
