I have been using an EHX Big muff Pi Bass and I don't find it a very good pedal at all. It's too fuzzy and you lose the low end and it doesn't sit well in the mix. The GF has given me permission to replace it so I need some help!
I'd like maybe to split the signal and have both a clean and dirty sound if this is the best solution?
I'm not a particular Billy Sheehan fanatic, and I don't need to play many bass solos in my current outfit, but it looks like a good pedal.
Mainly, I'm playing things like Zep, ZZ top, Rory Gallagher etc right now, and I need some nice tonally sounding dirt that cuts through the mix without sounding like a chainsaw (especially for the early ZZ top stuff).
To give you an idea of my sound, current setup is:
Sterling SB14 bass (soon to be an EBMM Stingray).
Ampeg SVT 3 pro head
Ampeg SVT classic 4x10
EBS Multicomp (and some other stuff on the board that is not on all the time so not relevent here).
Any advice appreciated!

Hey dude, for my 2 pennies worth, i use the B7K Darkglass and it can do all range of tones. My set up is fairly similar to yours too in the fact i use Ampeg SVT4x10 cabs and an Ernie Ball Stingray bass (Hartke 3500 head but close enough) and yeah, can honestly say it's a great pedal with a wide variation on it. Also, I tend to jam a lot of ZZ Top with a friend and can definitely get that fuzzy Dusty Hill tone from it! So that's my recommendation anyway.

I'll plug my fav dirt pedal, the Ashdown Lomenzo Hyperdrive. Great job!
