Little Guy With a Big Guitar - Overdrive Pedals for Bass (but not bass overdrives)
Channel: MooreMusicGuitars
Date: 2021-10-21

Cory takes us on a grand tour of five guitar overdrive pedals that deliver awesome bass distortion. One of them has found a place on his pedalboard as his go-to distortion box. If you think a distortion pedal for bass has to have the word "bass" in the name, Cory says, "Fooey!"

Check out the tones of the MXR FOD dual distortion, the Wampler Tumnus, the JHS Moonshine, the Earthquaker Westwood, and the Friedman BE-OD on Cory's American Professional II Jazz Bass. Guess which one lives on Cory's pedalboard!
