there are much better pedals than that. look elsewhere.

[varunkapahi]

yeah ofcourse am looking everywhere. you too can suggest me od pedals which dont go above 100$. but i want odb clips from users

[beyondthe48]

well the new MXR el grande bass fuzz is almost out. thats 100$ all of the good ones are more though

[varunkapahi]

i see. i am looking for a overdrive or distortion not a fuzz but would sure look into it.

[Nyarlathotep]

Save up some and buy an HBE Hematoma or Fulltone Bassdrive.

Both get much love round here, and I for one LOVE my Hema.

Oh, and from what I've hear of the ODB, its more a fuzz/distortion than a true OD. IIRC there are clips on the boss site.

Goodness! The ODB-3 gets so maligned in here. I think it is a cool sounding pedal for over-the-top industrial sounds. It also sounds pretty "gnarly" on riff-oriented material.

Sure it's not a natural sounding "overdrive" by any means. Yes, there are a lot of great sounding real overdrives out there. I do think the ODB-3 has its' place, however. I still have mine (although it hasn't occupied a permanent place on my board in years...) and occasionally it gets used live or even in the studio.

For the record, I am a tone freak. I currently use, or have owned, such "quality" pedals as the Fulltone Bass-Drive, EBS Valve Drive, Zvex Wooly Mammoth, HAO Rust Ride, EH Big Muff, Stamps Drive-O-Matic, Mesa V-Twin, Ashdown Bass Drive, etc. While I definitely don't consider the ODB-3 a great "overdrive", it is a pretty bad-ass sounding "fuzzy-distortion".

end of rant

To the op, sorry I don't have clips for you.

can you mention a few high gain overdrives you have personally used which dont really loose the bottom end

Yeah!

Some may argue the point, but in real-world (as opposed to living-room) situations I like the Fulltone Bass-Drive. Not the old version, but the Mosfet version. I had the old one but the new Mosfet Bass-Drive has a lot more low-end.

EBS Valve Drive. It loses no low-end! I prefer it myself for lower od settings, but it does get crunchy!

While I don't own one, the Xotic BB Pre-Amp had a nice crunch w/ little low-end suck. I may still buy one...

Also the Mesa V-Twin is great for crunchy tones. It doesn't suck low-end - but as it was designed for guitar, the bass eq point doesn't really add bass either.

Conversely, here are pedals that I experienced significant low-end loss from:
Ashdown Bass-Drive
HAO Rust-Ride (probably the worst low end loss I've heard from a pedal designed for bass!)
Stamps Drive-O-Matic
Ibanez Tube Screamer (unmodded)

[varunkapahi]

thanks

[basadam]

IMHO low-end loss is overrated. I use a Marshall Blues Breaker copy, it definitely loses some bottom end, but carefully tweaking the controls yields very good results (lower the tone and increase level). I also have a EBS Multi Drive and nowadays I prefer Blues Breaker.

For ODB-3: Never used but it's constant in Flea's pedalboard so it can't be bad after all. I like Flea's sound. I also like the sound samples in www.bossus.com

One of the best clips of the ODB-3, ever: RHCP "Around the world". Helluva way to start an album.

Misleading: The consensus is that the recorded version of the song was done by playing through a cranked marshall amp.

Having heard it live in the front row, I don't think it does the recording tone justice. Doesn't have that same raging breakup. One day I'd like to try bi-amping my bass through a bass and guitar amp to get an overdrive sound. Something like the orange tiny terror, you could drive those tubes really easy and get something nasty.

[supermonkey]

The Fulltone Bass Drive is your friend.

Boss pedals are mostly not good, IME.

You can get an Ibanez PD7 on ebay for about $40. I like it for distortion.
