I did it! After having first discovered this pedal years ago, I'll finally be getting one. I spent the day rereading old threads about it and listening to clips just to make sure it's what I wanted... I should have been working.  For anyone hesitant about paying $200 for one, Fulltone's site has a couple new and warrantied but blemished units at considerably lower prices!

| | | | I love mine. I keep it in the FM mode so that I can fully use both channels. Sounds fantastic. Comp Cut mode is really cool too but I like a little break up and in Comp Cut, the second channel gets too loud to use as its more like a boost.
Other than that, its the best overdrive for bass out there in my opinion

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: belgium | | | I use mine in compcut too I love it like that I set the second channel so that the boost is more of a dirt boost than a volume boost so my settings are quite low on the drive knobs
I recorded the demo of my band the day after I recieved it and I liked the tone directly |

On here, I've mostly always read about FM (flat mids, as opposed to...) and Vintage (a mid boost, a la Tubescreamer). Is it predominately a clean boost, capable of getting just a little bit of grit?

| | | | All three modes are great sounding which is why the pedalis so useful to so many players. Awesome build quality too. If I could only have one overdrive pedal, this would hands down be the one!

| | | | The Bass Drive is a quality pedal but it's tone is not my color. I've owned two of them and gotten plenty of use out of them though. |

But it's been less than 24 hours since I ordered it, and I'm already getting impatient! And this is for a pedal! I don't think I'm made of the stuff it takes to wait for months on end for a custom bass...

If you think it sounds good with 9v, try 18v - whole new ball game. Lots of power supplies can do this including the DC Brick that I use. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Metro Atlanta | | | Yeah, I got the same deal... blemished but otherwise new and warrantied 2007 Bass-Drive MOSFET for $120 plus shipping! The blemish? A tiny dent in the casing on the right side... that's it. I can't wait to get it home to try out.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Metro Atlanta | | | Well, I got it, tried it, love it! Like several others on here, I've found that I'll be using it on CompCut most of the time. With it off, I can get a totally clean tone. With it on, I can add just a bit of "spark" with a light touch or dig in to get just a bit of grind. And then with the boost, I can get a pretty good overdrive that will cover most of my needs. That said, whenever I want more, I have PLENTY more with the other two modes and the combinations of the drive and boost knobs. Great pedal!
