Does anyone have one? Any soundclips?
Is the bass distortion part as good as it sounds?
Thinking of picking one up after the new amp is purchased.
Will the hartke Hydrive distortion thing sound the same as the Bass Attack?

With the gain maxed, it's still a little light for me, so for light distortion sounds at best. Excellent tone shaping though, and if you want a light distortion, well, lupercal. There are a couple similar pieces of kit, but I'm not qualified to recommend any one over another. |

I think it sounds awesome, but it sounds different with each of my basses. It's especially good with my Jazz.
It takes a little messing around with the level / mix / harmonics to get just the right mix, but with the harmonics dimed, I dial in the mix control until I get just the right amount of overdrive.
Also, I notice no loss of bass frequencies that you get with many distortion/overdrive units.
In short, yes it is as good as it sounds. |

The Hartke will give you a nice warm tube-ish tone (sort of a Sansamp lite IMO), don't expect too much in the way of OD though. |

It should be the same animal as M80 and sansamp etc but just a cheaper version. Is not too expensive some is worth to give it a shot. I would buy it for a backup if i see one in the use market.
