| | | | Best pedal for grittyness at low gain?
Sign in to disble this ad
It seems like most overdrive pedals are smooth at really low gain settings, they don't get gritty until higher gain settings. So far I think a Fulltone Bass-Drive Mosfet, and Keeley modded Boss BD-2 would be good candidates, but what else? |

| | | heres some clips of the visual sound pedal. MIM fender jazz bass into the pedal into my computer.. http://media.putfile.com/jekyll (only knob touched is the gain.) http://media.putfile.com/hyde-43 (adjusted all the knobs..a little.) http://media.putfile.com/jekyllandhyde (adjusted the gain on the Jekyll channel.)
the cool thing about this pedal is that not only is it overdrive/distortion, theyre made to be used together as well as seperately. most overdrive/distortions if used together wont be quite as friendly as these two are.
