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"

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 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. |

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! |

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

|  | Sometimes it's one more note than what was needed! | | | | | 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!

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

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

Otherwise, the Oxford pedal is really good at OD, never feel like it lack gain for overdrive. |
