Looking for unique Overdrive/Distortion/Fuzz Pedal.

Source Audio Multiwave Bass Distortion Pro - It's definitely unique

There's a bit of a contradiction built into asking people to recommend a pedal that nobody else uses...

But +1 to the comment that it's really going to depend on what ELSE you use with it. If you want a unique tone, experiment with different settings on any given pedal, different settings on the amp and bass, maybe using your distortion in conjunction with a boost or compressor or maybe double up an overdrive and a fuzz... see how they interact.

I tend to like more unique distortion sounds, something unique in the character of the dirt.....
I have found stacking some dirt can yield interesting results( i.e., one pedal on a lower gain setting, one set a bit higher...)
Lately I've been playing around with an eq (just a Dano Fish unt Chips) after the dirt pedal...never done this before, but it has been really interesting how it can shape the distortion!

My favorite distortion pedal for guitar is the Blackstar HT Dual full valve distortion. I haven't tried it with my bass but it just kills every other distortion pedal I've ever tried for guitar. Here's a YouTube review...

It's great in bass too! The bassist from Type O Negative uses it I know.

I bought both. They make quite a crushing combination! Unique, probably not. But heavy, oh yes! Very crisp, with just a touch of hair from the B3K. I run B3K into Blower Box.

Look into some Tonebutcher stuff if you want unique and wild stuff.

 

[Driven Crane]

Better be running' B7K to Mini Dist.

Wrong.
And let's respectfully use past tense now: Didn't use, even when he was still alive.

Real polite.

I'm all for respecting the dead, but there is lot to be said about respecting the living as well...

Hold on, let me go get my box of tampons the last girl left here................ I'll pass them out as apparently needed

 

[bassmusic17]

That's an easy block. I mean he was right. I was thinking of Opeth not Type O Negative. Either way he is obviously very protective of his favorite poopy goth band.

Step 1: Get overly offended about a remark online
Step 2: Overreact because overly offended
Step 3: Get called on it
Step 4: Get overly offended about being called on being overly offended
Step 5: Make lame misogynistic insult in an attempt to project your own insecurities onto others

I have been told that this works best when done anonymously from your parents' basement...
