Distortions for Hollowbody...

[vegas532]

I have an Epi Jack Casady that I love to distort the crap out of! Feedback is always a problem with hollowbodies, so there is a lot of trial and error, which leads me to the point of starting this. I have found some pedals that you can distort hollowbodies with minus inherent feedback issues...hopefully this will help some who have wanted to do this and maybe some of you have some more to offer!
My list so far:
Malekko B:Assmaster
Proco Rat and Turbo Rat
MXR Bass DI+

[Deluge Of Sound]

I use an MXR Blue Box and a Russian Muff with my JC. Neither produces feedback unless I ask really nicely.

[lowmid]

tonefactor mule or an equivalent red llama style pedal, they simply don't feedback, they're a kind of distortion with a fuzz ending

OOOOOOOO did you manage to get a cream pie then, what do you think of it.

Also I called you out in the pedalboards thread, to many pedals not enough pics

Yeah I had a leather glove here ready to slap you in the face with that's how we do it here Old School.

Also back on topic I highly recommend the Tone Factor/Mojo Hand Mule or the Catalinbread Hyperpak they sound very similar are well priced and to me the best distortions available for bass regardless of hollow or not

Seems like getting a noise gate or noise supressor would be your best bet. Then you could use whatever kind of distortion you want and not have issues with feedback. I use a Boss NS-2 for the purpose of killing feedback and chopping off sustain that I don't want, and it works great.
