The versatility of sounds you can get out of this is massive, can make a POS head and cab sound like ampeg, excellent as a DI, well and truly the industry standard

Any bass guitarists in the beginner to intermediate bracket will find this pedal to be absolutely amazing. It's basically a "make my bass sound better" button. Starts off giving a nice clean sound with the drive turned down. Brings in some overdrive fuzz as the drive is turned up. This can be manipulated with the EQ and presence controls to get different sounds from it. You can get really growly almost-cleans to spanking dirty treble with a few knob twists. There's a lot of variation in tone with the knobs as well, you get many different sounds on one revolution. The construction is good. Solid, never had a problem with it. It's basic, so if you're after something really professional or high end then this isn't what you're after, but for the price there's really not a whole lot better. It's also a DI, pretty standard in that line. Not top end, but you're not paying for a top end pedal. You get more than what you pay for, that's for sure.
Bassists should not be allowed to gig without one! Great sounding tube emulator, highly adaptable for any style, especially if you want to add a bit of growl to your solid state amp! Fantastic backup to go directly into a PA if you are having amp issues, plus sounds fantastic direct when recording. Seriously perfect gear - must have!
