Does such a thing exist?
I use two overdrives, actually an overdrive and a distortion. The overdrive is my main dirt tone, but sometimes I'll kick the distortion pedal on which runs into the overdrive pedal and gives a heavier, scooped sound. I rarely use it, but I like it and that distortion pedal is taking up valuable space on my board.
Is there a pedal that has two dirts, or like a cascading overdrive where you could go 'full' or 'half' overdrive, if you catch my drift? |

I love my Fulltone BassDrive which has a boost which does a similar effect of increasing overdrive levels when activated. I believe that the Hematoma has a similar feature set.
The Empress Multidrive has three different gain stages that it can use.
Wounded Paw has the Battering Ram which is an OD and a fuzz.
Wren and Cuff did at least one custom job of combining a Phat Phuk with a Pickle Pie B.
Plus lots of others that I've overlooked that helpful people below will list... |

Most are going to be slightly larger than a single standard pedal, however. |

It's got a clean boost ("clean") and an overdrive ("mean") on the same pedal, triggered in sequence.
Not sure how it would fare on bass...I haven't had the chance to try one out. http://www.flicktonebox.com/chimera.html

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Napa, CA | | | +1 on the Fulltone bass drive. My favorite version is the one with the push pull knob (pre-mosfet). The HBE Hematoma is really terrific and can be purchased for a bargain.
The T-Rex Bass Juice is very nice as well. This is the only pedal of the 3 to have a blend if this feature appeals to you.
I own these 3 pedals.

I got to try out some of their pedals a couple of weeks ago for a minute or two. I was pleasantly surprised with the tones that I was getting from this one. It covered the low to medium gain drive I get with my Distortron and went into some similar fuzz territory that I get with my Sublime. It definitely seemed to cover two territories for the price of one. |

| | | Visual Sound pedals makes a few "two-in-one" type pedals, including and overdrive and distortion, an overdrive and compressor, and a double pedal with 2 tubescreamer-type overdrives. They're supposed to be very well made pedals. http://visualsound.net/double-trouble/

I'd get in touch with Visual Sound as they are top notch in customer service, ask them about low-end retention -- I'm sure they'd be happy to help you find the right pedal.
