Fuzzrocious Club Quadratic Equation

Thinking of replacing my Fulltone Bass Drive with a BDPG. I only use the Bass Drive for low gain stuff... at which it's great. But it doesn't really sound great in conjuction with other dirt pedals. SO I figure the BDPG will do the job of low gain on it's own... and then sound amazing after my Stache as well according to everyone else's feedback!

I used a Bass Drive for years and genuinely like it as a pedal. That said, the BDPG feels like it is voiced quite a bit better for bass. The Bass Drive does the tubescreamer thing very very well but I have always though it sort of "includes" bass frequencies on top of it's core sound. The BDPG just has bottom end gain at the heart of it's tone - and it kills with other pedals.
 
So I made a few changes. Im replacing the DD with a Rat Tail for an OD. This was a good move, Nick Thieneman's sound was what started my Fuzzrocious GAS in the first place. And, im replacing the Grey Stache with a TAFM. This I'm having a little trouble with. Even though I could most def score another GS, I got the most compliments at shows when I kicked that on. So overall im stoked, I know I'll love the RT. But sending the GS out was like this break-up that I feel gross about.Hahaha. I expalined this to my girl last night and she gave this " stop spending your entire day off on talkbass look". Hilarious
 
Just ordered a Grey Stache. Can. Not. Wait. (But I'll have to :p)

Before even placing the order Ryan has earnt my cash just by answering all my stupid questions and having the balls to care about how the final product will sound.

A stack of respect from an Aussie Bass player! :bassist:
 
Yesterday my Brother got his GS!
Since he is also one of my guitarists we had a fun time with it.
Cool thing! eats the NYC Muff for breakfast. We got some cool Saint Vitus-style sounds out of it with his jcm800.
Gonne do a guitar and bass-demo alike to the one I did with my OSD in the next weeks.
Now its also on my GAS-List (and the our other guitarist loves it too)!
