Becos FX Ziffer Overdrive

[TheLopp]

This might be interesting for bass so I just bought one. It’s a tube screamer with some really interesting features.

It got Classic/asymmetrical/led clipping.

It has a classic or a deep frequency respond.

It’s got a clean blend with a tilt EQ on the dry line!

This should be a really good TS for bass, but we’ll see about that in a couple of weeks. I have 3 of their compressors so I have big faith in what they do.

This looks very interesting indeed: Becos' products are great and it is a mini pedal!

I also ordered one.

Here is what the Becos Ziffer manual says : "This (dry EQ) control adds more versatility when the pedal is used with different instruments, such as bass".

Very interested in this. Keep us posted!

I received it, the shipment from Romania went quicker than expected. Excellent communication from Becos as usual.

I have played it (rock/heavy) at home a couple of days with my P and J basses into a Phil Jones Double Four amp.

I found it useful as a light always on overdrive, it added some pleasing thickness/grit. It sounds warm/baked in.
But few settings are good for bass. I actually found only one setting that I really liked.

+ No low losses thanks to the Mix and Dry EQ knobs which are very effective/ sensitive.
+ build quality
+ lots of knobs/ switches in a mini format

- Not versatile for bass
Few of the many options available are good for bass but this pedal is of course primarly designed for guitar.
The setting I like is with clip and deep toggles down, gain up to 09:00, tone between 8:00 and 2:00, mix 11:00, dry EQ 10 :00

These are my first impressions and I still have to try it at louder level. I am curious about others experiences.

Who is still using this pedal?

I got this pedal not long ago and am really digging it. I’m finding lots of bass friendly tones and am really impressed with how every function interacts together so musically.
