Which overdrive should I choose?

Sign in to disble this ad
Mad Professor Blue Berry Bass, EBS MD Multi-Drive or RODENBERG GAS-808B?

I'm looking for a mild to moderate natural sounding overdrive.

Something like this : YouTube - Lack - "Bombing The Moon"

Well I know there's a lot of threads like this, but the thing is that I don't have the oppertunity to try them out.

If you have the GAS; EBS ValveDrive. Tube, passive EQ, gain & master is all I need starting from a little bit of warmth to full on overdriven distortion. Haven't come across anything like it!

I've never tried the pedals you're asking about.

I can get that tone with a Tech 21 Leeds.

Rat pedal man, only way to go. But get a vintage one, the newer ones aren't so great. It'll change your life, trust me.

Cancel the bbbod, as it's not really "modern" sounding.
A dude mentioned a rat, but that's not "modern" sounding either.
Have you considered a Tronographic Rusty Box? There are a lot of good things going on with that beast!

The only one I have from your list is the MP blue berry. Very nice mid to high gain pedal, sounds like an overdriven tube amp, very natural. It won't do low gain too well but there are some mild settings that can be had. It's nice but I'm still not sure if I will be keeping it. I was hoping for more of a modern distorted sound initially but it may have changed my mind.

I tried a EHX Big Muff PI and could find no usable sounds on it. Sold it here last week. My next thing is to try a few guitar OD's than friends have. Good luck!

There isn't any contact information on their page, other than a note that tell you to contact sales by email, but no actual email address. Neither is there a price tag. Could someone help me out?

It says that orders are on hold right now until the summer.

Only way to get one right now is used or to wait until the summer.

I use the B7K for my dirt, when I want it cleaner I use the Walrus Audio Voyager.

Judging from that clip you've posted, a tech 21 oxford pedal would be a good choice to get that sound.

Yep, I'd take the Oxford over the Leeds any day.

The Leeds sounds like an Oxford with a wet blanket over it.

For the price, the Bad Monkey is a winner, sound great in front of my PBDDI.
Otherwise, the Oxford pedal is really good at OD, never feel like it lack gain for overdrive.
