Which of the above overdrive pedals should I buy to get an industrial bass overdrive sound? Think NIN, Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Alec Empire, Rammstein ect.. My budget is around £50, which is pretty low, so no hand built pedals here; sorry.

An English Muff'n with AX tubes (if you're ok with an extra wall wart) or a SansAmp Para Driver would be my suggestions. The PDDI can get wild, but you can tame it with the blend control a little. |

It's not the kind of pedal you can use everywhere (or anywhere at all). It cuts through like no other and tends to generate unpleasant harmonics.
Absolutely fantastic for indus stuff. |

If you can find one, a 2nd hand Boss FZ-2 (not FZ-3 or FZ-5) will work fine for indus. |

The fuzz on a Muff would probably be too smooth, IMO.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Loughborough | | | Loads of you are recomending fuzz pedals. I already own an EH Big Muff (NYC), hense including it in the options. I was wondering what the best way to get a great tone out of it is, I have never been able to get anything but mud mud mud.
My main bass = Schecter C5 with EMG 40P5 and 40J pickups....
