First impressions clip. Nothing too extreme. The bass was my custom Drake 35" scale 4 string with heavy gauge Cobalt strings

I normally don't like dirt with flats, but I'm really impressed with how much of the original bass tone is preserved, even at higher gain settings
Love the clips! 
Also love how the pedal matches the cab visually as well as sonically.

From last night's Halloween gig. Had to bring the BB! I set it to low-ish gain and it stacked nicely with B7K and/or Gasoline.
Oh yeah: I brought more gear than usual last night.

First gig with my Gasoline pedal!
Backline gear. I was knocked out by this pedal. Added everything I wanted, but my bass still sounded like my bass!
I think I finally got a keeper dirt box...thanks, JGR!

No drinks on amp!!! Gasoline OK, though.
I have a vintage rock/R&B gig this Saturday. I'll bring the Gasoline, of course. Also my Green Russian Muff because it's new to me as of this week. Naturally the Muff is a very different animal: highly colored and nothing subtle about it, so I'll use it as a specialty OD -- it should be perfect for "All Right Now" and maybe a couple other tunes. The Gasoline will be my "mostly on" OD.

This pedal could be a great always on thing for sure. Curious about what I want to stack it with now
My typical Tuesday gig is backlined with a 700rb and an Ampeg 115 cab. Not the worst rig I've ever tried, but you can't get big lows without farting.
Setting the Gasoline quickly (no soundcheck), I got into a nice V4B kinda tone. Worked so well

Guitar player of Eskimo Brothers messing around with the Gasoline pedal. Yep, sounds great on guitar too
The Gasoline was amazing as my almost-always-on tone! I set it up for presence which helped in this sports bar.
Transparency is the name of the game with the Gasoline -- and that's true for dynamics as well as tone. The Gasoline will do heavier crunch which will of course flatten things out a bit, but last night I went with a low/moderate grind which added presence without squeeze.
The Green Russian was used for ultra-vintage tones: as I've said in other threads, it's perfect for "All Right Now", Cream songs, etc. But I only played a few songs where that tone was appropriate.
FWIW, stacking Muff and Gasoline didn't do much because the MuffTone is so dominant.

Opened it up a bit last night...sounded terrific!
No soundchecks and quick changeovers at my regular Tuesday gig, but this pedal is pretty easy to dial in fast. May use it in an always in kinda way next week

The Reiner Gasoline overdrive. You won't find a better wingman.
Ah, I do like when they've got some demon in'em...
Apparently my current PC doesn't have any image software that does demon removal, but in this case it's OK.
As for the gig: I ran the Gasoline with Tech21 Oxford (instead of B7KU) and the Green Russian Muff. Again, the Muff dominates (insert punch line here), but the Oxford and Gasoline sounded killer together. The Gasoline sounded great by itself for natural sounding OD, but this gig was with my harder rock band and with them I go for aggressive tones on the aggressive tunes. I used the Muff every so often for vintage fuzz tone.

Friday night I went back to what I pretty much consider my A Team. So versatile. The B7KU gives me modern growl and sizzle, the Gasoline adds mid presence, and the MBD-1 adds phat low end and grit. I set all three for low to moderate gain, so it still sounds cool when I stack all three for heavier metal tunes. Normally it's just one or two at once.
I’ve got Gasoline. Time to rev my engine, once I get home.
