  1. T-bay :Did you own an AGRO? I've tried or owned OD's like the Soul food, valvedrive, runoffgroove B15 clone,  sft, and the Aguilar goes way further in the distortion territory, though it is not a Dr Scientist Elements. Anyways I did not want to have the last word, only to follow the line Holt drawed with his first question, as this kind of questions can get you totally lost in the answers very quickly. .

    You will get a load of replies and I would suggest you try before you buy if you can. My experience is-

    EHX big bass muff - nice sounds but could not get the subtle sound I wanted

    Mojomojo- did not work at all for me, but a couple of people on here love them

    dark matter - way too aggressive for what I wanted

    Boss Bass driver- great sound but expensive and probably over your budget

    Soul Food- great sound from warm fuzz to full breakup and can be had cheap

    Blackstar valve drive- not bass specific and a bit fizzy

    A lot of these are overdrives and not fuzzes or distortions as asked by Holt. I was just giving an advice in the Muff family. The green Russian is very good for bass, it's for example a basis for the earthbound supercollider, amongst a lot of orher ones.

    To get some natural grit the AGRO (OD/Distortion) is the best I met so far.

    Sure it's overkill if you only play at home, but if said 800 watt amp is still cool to the touch at bedroom levels, then there's no reason why the cooling system couldn't be designed to be as silent as possible up to a certain temperature threshold, only kicking in the loud fan when it's really needed.

    I need to store my amp and cab in my room regardless, so I use it for low volume practice instead of having to buy a separate practice amp that takes up more room and doesn't sound as good!

    Of course DB, a 4 pounder will have to be useable at home too.

    I experience the same "problem" with the AG 700, which is quite noisy with its 2 fans, replacing my former Markbass R500 which was not. I suspect that the micro-sized amps also have to use little fans that has to run quicker (and noisier) for the same airflow.

    for the "problem" (not so big) I use my shuttle 3.0 -8"when playing at very low volume, and it becomes my aux amp when I play covers louder.
