Seems to have been a while since any posts about this pedal. I recently got this pedal, along with a T-Rex Sweeper Chorus and Replica Delay. Loving all of them so far!
After reading some pretty mixed opinions on this pedal, its the first dirt pedal thats really had me excited. I've gone thru a variety of pedals that do dirt in one form or another; Mxr Bass Fuzz, MXR Distortion +, HBE Hematoma, VT Bass, EHX Big Muff PI, EHX BBM, MI Audio Tubezone - none of which really ever had me happy for one reason or another.
The thing I like most about the bass juice is that you can set it as a nice warm distortion, then kick it into fuzz with the boost switch. The low end seems to be ever present in any setting, and the mix knob means I can mix in clean tones for definition.
I'm using an Xotic BB Preamp as my light overdrive, then the Bass Juice as a Distortion and Fuzz. Works wonderfully!
Any other Bass Juice fans?

Bass Juice isn't the dirtiest OD, but the sound preservation and fuzz capabilities are well worth looking at.

I don't use both of them together generally, but they are on the same loop. They do nearly the same thing, differently in a good way.
