Overdrive for bass and guitar?

[KC_LEE]

Hi everyone. I'm a bass player but now I'm learning to play guitar solo. I'm new for use pedals. I'm looking for an overdrive pedal. The question is "What pedal that work great (for you) for both bass and guitar?" Thank you guys!

Almost every OD works well for both. It might be easier to tell you which ones don't.

Is there a certain sound you are going for? What's your setup like?

I play 3 bands for bass now. 1.Dub/Reggae/Rock
2.Pop 60s-80s cover band 3.The Beatles tribute band.
Now I only have Octaver, Evelope filter, Delay and Chorus. What's good for many kind of music like these? Thank you bassmusic17

Jacques Tubeblower works flawlessly with both. Basically an enhanced Iby Screamer with extended low range and EQ.

Hardwire CM-2 if you're on a budget.

What's your budget?

The Way Huge Pork Loin works very well with both. It's quite flexible too: you can go from a very subtle drive, right to the edge of fuzz territory. I love mine.

I have low budget. That's why I'm trying to find something good for both.

Any from EHX, BOSS, MXR will you suggest? Thx again guys.

PS. In Thailand, It easy to buy these brands.

You may try the EHX Glove. I've never liked anything Boss, and while I do like some MXR pedals, they don't have very good drive pedals for bass.

I second the Hardwire CM-2

I'm looking for the same thing. My tube head is very clean and doesn't give enough crunch. I have a Malekko Diabolik, but it's a bit much to use all the time. From the demos, the Pork Loin sounds good. Also, the Aguilar Agro sounds nice.

I recommend a Rat or rat clone.
My favourite OD (guess its Distortion really)

Ibanez Bass Tube Screamer. A great often over looked pedal.
