fuzz + overdrive

[Unemploid]

i have an mxr bass fuzz deluxe, my friend is selling his boss bass overdrive for $30. i'm going to buy it, can't beat that price.

i've been look online for bass videos and sound clicks of fuzz with overdrive. if you guys know of any good ones let me know.

i'm going to find out what these two pedals will sound like together sooner or later.

Look up the Empress Multidrive and Pigtronix Disnortion.

Are you asking about 2 pedals that work well together, or one pedal that does both fuzz and overdrive?

Likely two pedals, but the all in ones I suggested are a fast way to hear fuzz and overdrive/distortion together.

+1 to andrew's suggestion. Also look at demos for the Blackout Twosome and the EarthQuaker Hoof Reaper along the same lines.

Despite the name, the Boss is a distortion pedal, not an OD. It's extremely high gain, and there doesn't seem to be a subtle setting on it. That's not to bash the pedal, I think it's great, but stacking it with a fuzz pedal might just get you more feedback than usable tones. I'd try it, just don't expect stellar results.

I was looking for a twofer pedal overdrive and fuzz and made up my mind to go with the Devi Ever Black Spider



Then I farted around and 3 leaf released the You're Doom and I decided to get that to pair with my DG VMT

i used to previously run a Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive into a EHX Bass Big Muff with awesome results...

It can be done but YMMV depending on the units in question

I stack my ODB3 with other drives all the time, it performs wonderfully. It does have a lot to do with the preamp Im running through but I can keep the ODB3 at a really mild, smooth raunch. I stack it with an OCD, Rat King, Outlaw, Rat King or a VMT at separate times of course. I never have stacked it with a fuzz though. It would be interesting to see what happens when you do. I know Im going to try it when I get my Duality

It's a matter of trial and error.

I've spent years experimenting to find what I like the sound of. I like the sound of my overdrive into fuzz.

I agree, its sounds too coloured.. much prefer overdrive as you can still hear the sound of your bass

I have a fuzz factory clone and seems to lack subtleness.

It might even be not usable.

But it is fun!

B3K keeps the sound of your bass perfectly. It's merely the best OD I've ever heard. In which order do you usually connect OD and fuzz to keep the lows?
