New EHX bass distortion pedal!

I just got an e-mail from Electro-Harmonix on a new bass distorion pedal. It's called the Bass Blogger. It has a fuzz/drive switch. This could be the pedal I've been searching for! The e-mail said it was around $100.

Here's the message they sent with it.



"Dear Fellow Rock & Roller,



Electro-Harmonix introduces the BASS BLOGGER. A soulful distortion for bass guitar.


Ultra subtle and perfect distortion. Reinforce the two-way message with your drummer. Your rhythm section will drive with voodoo authority.

List price $ 99.80, but shop around for best deal. "




I can't wait till I can buy it!

Hmm not to big of a fan of the bassball theme but I like the fuzz/drive switch. Is the drive side distortion or OD?

That was my first thought too.

It makes "Octavius Squeezer" sound brilliant by comparison.

I want to be optimistic about this pedal,... but I'm worried it's going to be yet another re-packaged Big Muff. Maybe the "drive" mode will give us a new sound?

I'd be happy if they just hurried up and released the xo bms!

I just got the same message and guess what - I've been in the market for a bass drive of some sort. I've also been anticipating the MXR EL Grande Bass Fuzz and now I don't know what to do - except that at the price point (and give my fetish for their gear) ehx will probably win. DESPITE the fact that I hate the name and insignia... I mean, it might make sense for the Bassballs, but *** is a Blogger and what does it have to do with Baseball?

Who cares. It'll probably sell for like $79 and it's probably awesome. Looks like they read all those warranty cards I sent in that said MORE. BASS. EFFECTS. PLEASEE!

yeah right like that's for real... even if they do actually got through with it, it will be either horribly disappointing or digital - or both.

Exactly. (incidentally I didn't post the Google to be a smartass to RC, just to point out how even if the name has "a meaning", it's still meaningless in context.)

Even without the baseball theme, why name the pedal 'Blogger'? That's just.....Lame.
