Pedal virgin wants advice on subtle pedal!

Tech21 VT-bass pedal

The VT bass is an excellent pedal!

After research I bought a Voodoo Sparkle Drive... and it's EXACTLY what I'd wanted/needed/hoped for. You'd have to work it very hard to get 'to much' out of it and you can get the grit/hair at low string attacks, etc. The Blend knob really helps immensely with tailoring the grit/hair into your core sound so the overdrive doesn't have to monopolize your sound and 'become' your sound.

Glad I went this way on a hunch.

I just received my DHA VT1 Bass in the mail today, and after an afternoon with it, I would like to recommend it to you. It is transparent and musical--it's essentially a tube preamp. It doesn't add harsh crunch or brittle hair to the tone, it just makes it "greasy." I haven't had time to really put it through the paces, but when I do, I plan on a review and some sound clips. Check it out at Link Removed.

+1

Sinister Analogue Ultra Lord!

SUPER Subtle, nice warm overdrive but maintains your bottom end

 

[tranceFusion]

my tu-2 is pretty subtle.

the Boss Blues Driver can do a really subtle OD

+1, I also use it for a grittier rock sound.
