www.fuzzbox.com (spelled right)....

Wounded - Didn't see any Tonebone Classics at that site. Am I missing something ??? I can't seem to find the Tonebone Classics online.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

I was talking about the Depth Charge, Phunkypants wanted to know where to find it.
The ToneBone is made by Radial, try that.
Actually it's www.tonebone.com

And now that we're back on topic, while I wasn't impressed with the Bassbone, the guitarist for the 3Tards CD I produced recently used a Tonebone for some of his tracks and I have to say it was one of the nicest i.e. meanest guitar sounds I've ever gotten in the studio. Very impressed with that one on guitar anywayz.

I have never, ever heard better distortion for bass. There is little to no loss of low end, the gain from the real AX7 is NUTS--I couldn't get the drive knob past six, and what's more: there are about a zillion USEABLE distortions in this box--from fuzz to buzzsaw to power chord-type wall of sound.

I'm resurrecting an old thread here, but here it goes anyway...

Have you ever played an EBS MultiDrive? Especially in tubesim mode, it has a very dynamic drive... dig in harder, it drives harder. It makes what I would call a very nice "fuzz" kind of distortion. Warm fuziness on top of your tone, not a total reworking of it. It's probably on the subtler side of the distortion spectrum unless you turn it *way* up.

Anyway, I'm curious if you've had an experience with it and could compare it to the Tonebone Classic's sound. From what you were saying, it sounds like the Classic can do that kind of thing, but it also allows for a much wider variety of sounds as well.

Thanks!

I went to Washington Music Center today to see what I could find in the way of distortion/overdrive for a new rock project I'm working on. Knowing well how most bass overdrive units come off, I wasn't expecting much.

However, the helpful guy at the store showed me a few high end units--RustRide, Hughes+Kettner, etc. Then, with a grin, he brought over a Radial Tonebone Classic. "Isn't that for guitar?" I asked. "Yup" he said "I've sold five of them to bassists recently". Make that six.

I have never, ever heard better distortion for bass.

I've owned a lot of gear over the years, but I tend not to write many reviews. I'll definitely put one up for this pup. If you have ANY means to do so, I STRONGLY recommend checking this thing out. It's AWESOME.

Hey Doc,

What settings are you using for a fuzz effect? I just got one, and am digging the tone. Retains a nice lowend grunt that breaks up really well.

Would love to get some kind of fuzz tone out the pedal if possible.
