| | |  What bass overdrive should I buy?
Sign in to disble this ad
I wanna buy a bass overdrive, because I love the sound of Cliff Burton's bass solo's...I probably can't afford the pedal he's been using, so I want a cheaper one...
In the Music Center in my town, there are two cheap pedals, there's the Behringer BOD100, and the Ashdown Drive Plus...the Ashdown is more expensive, but it's probably better...Is it? Is it worth the money? Whitch one is better? Whitch one should I buy?  |

If not, there's another Behringer pedal which is basically a copy of the Big Muff, the VD1 Vintage Distortion. See if they can get one of those into the store for you. I really don't think either of those overdrive pedals you mentioned are going to sound anything like a Big Muff. |
