jekyll and hyde overdrive

I've played around with it on bass a bit, and I think it sounds amazing. It's basically two pedals in one. One is a tube screamer style overdrive, and one is a higher gain distortion. The higher gain one sounds fantastic with bass, but I have never actually played it with bass with a band. I'm not sure if it would cut out the low end presence like a lot of distortions do.
 
I owned one of the newer ones for a while...i thought the pedal was awesome. as an od it could be "light", adding that slight buzz, or a full on od like most tube screamers. As a distortion I thought it retained the lows much better than the Rat. I really liked this pedal but I couldn't get passed that new switches they put on them...a friend of mine has an old one and I simply just liked the old style switches more so i traded it for a few mics...

over all awesome pedal...
