Fuzz Box or Overdrive That Keeps The Low End

[HolmeBass]

Swollen Pickle has lots of low end, but it's hard to maintain the punch and definition. You'll have to open it up and tweak the internal knobs to really dial it in. There are threads on TB with suggested settings, including Dunlop's setting.

I don't know if it was mentioned, but the TAFM is the bomb, lots of low end plus a clean blend. Plenty of punch and great tones.

Agreed - why go through this process with every effect, work out a way to split your signal up. Although for some it isn't the solution as they want the effect across all frequency ranges but they don't want to lose a particular frequency slice. I pondered the SFX S&M but the Rolls SX-21 won strictly because it looked possibly more tweakable and was available cheaply and quickly.

It might not work for everyone or for every effect but it's a helluva good tool for me to have in my arsenal.

Point of clarification, that original link is to the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] (Crossover and Mix), as opposed to the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] (Split and Mix).

I said S&M but I definitely meant X&M. The adjustable crossover is a big part of the equation for me.

Since I didn't see anyone really ask you this question. What is your setup. There are plenty of options out there but depending on the gear you use some will benefit you better than others.

I'm currently rocking a Ampeg SVT 450H and I'm running that through a Peavey 410 TVX cab

I really like the Hardwire brand CM-2 Tube Overdrive. Can be picked up cheap nowadays used, around $50. Very sturdy construction, great flexible tones. Has two overdrive modes, classic and modern. Also has a VERY functional low and high eq controls. Very nice pedal for overdrive.

MXR bass fuzz deluxe is awesome and absolutely no low end loss.
