Suggestions? The Pedaltrain Mini is forcing me re-evaluate my effects choices and so I'm looking for a great sounding bass overdrive in a small footprint. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Southern California | | | Yeah, the Hematoma didn't look much smaller than the BassDrive. Right now, my two top contenders are the Xotic BB and one that hasn't been mentioned yet--Tech21 VT Bass. |

Then you have one of the jacks sticking out towards your feet on the PT Mini as well as difficulty accessing both footswitches.... I don't know, maybe it could work. The Hematoma certainly sounds more like the Fulltone than a VT Bass, though! |

good thing it is also an excellent unit! |

| | | | So how about a Tube Screamer? The fulltone and hematoma (I believe) are based on it and I know several bassist that use them as their main OD.
BTW,
BassDrive approx. 5-3/4 wide by 4 deep
Hematome approx. 4-5/8 wide by 3-3/4 deep, so a little narrower by a tad over an inch.

Hatred obscures all distinctions. | | Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: South of LA | | | VT Bass is in an all together different category since you can trick it to emulate amp signatures as well, but an awesome pedal when combined with a xotic and other lovely flavors.

If that doesn't give me a woody then I'll start digging up soundclips of the BB. |
