Can the Green Rhino be used on bass?

Sign in to disble this ad
My one guitarist swears that he read that the Green Rhino overdrive pedal for guitar can be used (and with success) on bass. Has anyone here ever use it on bass?

Nope. No pedal that does not specifically say "bass" on it can be used on bass.

The internals will melt and you will have a heavy paper weight, with buttons and knobs...

Also, check out this really cool feature called "search".

FYI, I DID do a search on it before making this thread. But when hundreds of results pop up, it makes finding what I'm looking for quite difficult.

A "Titles Only" search cut it down to three ... including this one.

I have to say this is one of the clearest demos I've seen. I really like the way you showed the settings.

Kudos

your talking bollocks, most of MXRs stuff works on bass just fine e.g. phase 90/100, stereo chorus, flanger, carbon copy etc. And boss products do too..

feel free to name anything else

He was kidding

ALL pedals "work" on bass. Whether they sound good or not, well...that's up to you.

Cutting the bass does not mean they don't work.

Ah, newbies... I was joking. Anything will work on bass. If you knew anything about my board or playing style, you would see that I have more "guitar pedals" than bass pedals and use them all the time.

It was sarcasm. Reading comprehension>You.

I use it. I love it. The 100hz knob rreealllyyy helps out. It's a great OD. I actually don't like it as much on guitar as i do bass. Its too mellow.
