Overdrive/Compressor Pedal.

[Rob Rogers]

I am looking at different pedals for both compressor and overdrive sound.
I like to keep it as simple as possible.
I am going for the Dusty Hill sound.
Any options would be appreciated.
Thanx

I am currently playing Bass in a ZZTop Tribute Band using a Tech 21 DP-3X dUg Pinnick signature Pedal. The pedal is designed to be a dual band setup with Comp only on the Lows and the highs distorted. I get around the very scooped midrange tone of dUg's sound by having the Mid-shift button out and the mids bumped. The highs are also backed off. It makes for an amazing Rippin' tone. I really love it and get a lot of complements and the direct signal makes all the sound guys smile. Just rolling off the tone and/or volume control on my Bass lets me clean right up for a few of the slower/laid back songs. Simplicity is bliss.
Before I got the dUg Pedal I ran a inexpensive Digitech Dual Band Comp into a Tech 21 Programmable VT Deluxe Pedal with great results also. This would also be much more versatile to get lots of tonal variations. YEMV

Look at the EHX Bass Battalion. It has a lot of knobs, but it's bassically just a one-knob compressor (which I love), and an overdrive.
