More controllable slight overdrive from VTbass?

[stflbn]

I'm loving the tone options I'm getting out of my VT-bass pedal.

Usually I'm using it for a modern lowmid very subtle grit/overdrive tone... however I'm finding that if I use the VT-bass set so I get the bit of hair on the tone on most notes in lower frequencies (B,E,A strings) when I move up to D and G strings or higher on the neck it's getting 'to' hairy and those notes are then not cutting through as much as I'd like.

So I'm fighting with that. I need a more consistent slight over-drive, just a touch of hair sound that's there all the time and not as effected as I go higher on the neck or to harder attack.

I'm going to try clamping down my MultiComp a bit mroe to try to get a more even attack range to see if I can even it out.

Any other ideas?

That's really all I'm using the VT-bass for... I've contemplated trying something different like a MI Blue Boy Deluxe, Barber LTD SR, Voodoo Lab SparkleDrive, or EBS Multidrive, but each of those would be used primarily as a tone tool more than a pure over-drive/distortion type box as I rarely need it. Currently only on a couple songs, but often like to have just a tad of tube type warm hair on my tone if possible.

Just struggling with getting that slight hair on lower notes where I want it without higher notes losing definition.

Thought?

Sold the VT-bass for reason explained above.

After research I bought a Voodoo Sparkle Drive... and it's EXACTLY what I'd wanted/needed/hoped for. You'd have to work it very hard to get 'to much' out of it and you can get the grit/hair at low string attacks, etc. The Blend knob really helps immensely with tailoring the grit/hair into your core sound so the overdrive doesn't have to monopolize your sound and 'become' your sound.

Glad I went this way on a hunch.
