Yeah, I read Guitar World... what's it to ya! Just kidding.
I'm digging the sound of the Soundblox distortion pedal for guitar.  
I like the idea of really far out distortion, a la Death By Audio etc. If you're gonna do it, do it... so to speak.
My question is: anyone here tried this pedal out for bass. Prices here in Japan are on par with what it would cost to buy plus shipping, but I haven't seen any in local stores so I can't try one out just yet. Any TB-ers rocking this kit?
Check em out - here.

| | | | I'm sure some of the pedals are more appealing to the bass crowd, especially the tri-mode wah (if I had enough $$$, I'd be interested too).
What intrigues me about the soundblox pedals is that they are multiband and target specific frequency ranges which I think could be really interesting and useful for bass (plus I just love the sound of the world caving in through ridiculous amounts of distortion).
If anyone has soundclips I would be indebted to them for at least ten minutes... here's hoping! |

Just started reading about this beast; has anyone taken the plunge yet? I might have to, even if it means putting it in a Blend pedal. Multi-band distortion is the future of ... distortion? I got nothing, bump! |

It sounds great, I've shot them an email to see what's up with bass specific version |

Digital control is great for versatility, but if you can only set it up for one sound at a time, the versatility kind of dwindles. If the footswitches mean you can toggle between two or more different settings, then the value goes up, for me at least. |

| | | | Wow. Nice video! They've really done their homework.
EQ, dry and wet signal levels are all controllable. Morphing between assignable effects and loads of different tones.
Oh and the distortion says what it does on the box - full multiband distortion. I want.
Anyone have a list prce? |

Also, what does the Classic Distortion pedal sound like on bass? Is there low frequency loss?
