T-rex fuzz and OD?!

Don't know if you have any interest in the T-Rex Bassjuice but it's a pretty good dirt pedal. It might be worth checking out. I've been using it as a slight overdrive. IMO it does this really well. For heavier distortion or fuzz, I like other pedals better but if I had to choose only one, I'd probably go with this one because of its versatility.

It doesn't seem to lose low end, it has a blend knob, and it has two stages of dirt. Again, not my favorite pedal but definitely the most useful one I have.
 
Bass Juice is a cool distortion pedal. I have one (actually, I have the TC version, but it's the same thing), and it's a great dirt pedal, and the blend knob is very usable. It's my only dirt pedal atm on my board.

Another thing I tried - T Rex Mudhoney, it's a cool pedal with a huge dirt range from subtle to fuzz, but you do lose some low end on more cranked up settings. For a light to mid dirt though - great stuff.
 
A T-Rex overdrive I was positively supprised with for bass, is the Møller. It's intended, and I used it for guitar and was about to sell it (due to too many pedals) when I tried it with bass.

It gives a really nice OD grit to the tone, and it has a blend knob which works well with bass. I think it looses low-end when going with completely wet signal, but blending in some dry makes it sound great and gives a very expressive sound.

It is now "on" for most of the songs we play with the band.
