Germanium Muff on Bass?

[chaosMK]

I have been interested in picking up a decent pedal for a very gritty sound. Bass Muff seems pretty cool from what I hear. I am curious about this peal, which I think was designed for guitarists. I like the option of OD and Distortion... a touch of distortion might be what I'm looking for.

Previously I used a Mesa Bass 400 and ran it to slight OD levels. This sounded awesome on recordings but I had to sell this rig a while back. I've always been interested in going a little heavier with OD while retaining good definition.

I like this style of OD/distortion (which was actually done going through an old-ish Mesa guitar amp)-

I was interested in this pedal as well and tried it out the other day, very nice dirt and tone varying possibilities. I AB'd it with a Bass Blogger and while the Blogger was obviously more suited for bass (better low end, ratty noise cleared with ease), the G. Muff just sounded nasty (in a very good way...) and offered more experimentation. Want subtle grit with some bark in your tone? The overdrive mode is just for that. The distortion mode sounds like a Big Muff but with a firecracker rammed up its ass, combine it with the OD and its huge.

I only spent about an hour toying with it but I'd say it's worth taking a look at if you're not looking for another simple one trick stomp Muff. IMO, it definitely has an edge over the Bass Muff.

Sounds cool, might be just what I'm looking for.
