Hey guys, I tried out one the Bassdrivers today, and while it was really cool, it seemed like my tone just kept getting lost, and it had too much clacking, no matter how i blended it.
Does anybody know any other pedals that can give me that full sound without these problems? Thanks! |

For as much as I like the grind, a lot of the tones I've been managing to find with it are pretty one dimensional, and god forbid I want some solid mid-range... |

If you want something that does everything the SansAmp does, and more, but sounds 10000 times better (IMO), the EBS Microbass II is the answer.
It starts off with your bass's tone, and fattens and / or sparkles up as much as you like. A GREAT bit of kit. |

I have the BDDI and I like it. Guess it's not for everyone. |

I had several basses that were lacking here or there tone wise but the Submarine has made them all come alive. |
