Seriously though, Tubescreamers have been used by plenty of bass players, modded and unmodded. They have a pronounced mid-hump, especially with the gain set high (like any gain-pushing pedal). Proper bass implementation necessitates some EQ correction to compensate for the heavy mids when gain is cranked. Less of a problem at lower-gain settings.
The Digitech Bad Monkey is a darn good budget tubescreamer; the "badder" bass version is even better IMO (though it's not ideal if you like a bright OD sound). |

Doesn't sound that good to me. Not a fan of the buzz or "fart" that seems to sit right on the top of the signal. Doesn't seem too natural of an overdrive IMO... |

I'm just about to send him my TS9DX (Turbo TubeScreamer) to get the Silver mod. I've been using "Hot" mode on it for a thin layer of distortion on my bass and like it okay already. I'm hoping the mod will really clean up the tone.
I'll send him a note about the TS9B and see what he says. |

If I can get a sound near what the Keeley Baked Mod will do for bass, I'm all over this thing!

How does it hold the lower frequencies ? Is it better to loop it through a blender (in my case a Boss LS-2) ?
Merci
