Anyone tried one? Can't find much about it on bass, but lots of guitarists saying it's too bassy for them which is why the ver2 replaced the tone knob with seperate bass and treble controls.
I've been offered one in a trade
 
I've tried the Emma Pisdiyauwot on bass and it did not sound good. It was in GC though and I only tried it with one bass. EQ didn't do much and the distortion character wasn't pleasant or useful really. But again, there's so many other factors that I wasn't able to isolate that I was strongly considering not even writing anything.
 
Update.
Got the pedal in the mail today. Could quite possibly be my favorite OD I've ever tried. Note that I was blending in some clean with my LS-2 but I always like a bit of clean with any dirt pedal. I tried it with no blend for a bit just to see if it lost lows on its own and yes it does lose a tad but not too much. If you are prepared to blend then it's no problem. It reacts really well to dynamics and the bias control changes the gain structure and voice from a really harmonic rich tubey goodness to a more modern high mid sound. Tone sounds like it effects highs only and the gain knob has quite a big range from clean to heavy distortion. Its kicking the tech 21 oxford off my board.
