Mog Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I dont think you'll get what you're looking for out of a pedal. Something like an EBS valvedrive might get you in the ballpark but it wont be close. Most of those tones come from running heads very hot.

phatkat Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Im not looking for a perfect replica but just a decent overdrive that's a bit flexible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartelby Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Have a look at DHA (Dave Hall Amps) stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlat Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'd recommend one of the following: [sfx] Red Dragon BJFE Blueberry (if you can find one) or Fuzzrocious Dark Driving <-= probably the best pedals you can find for the Jack Bruce type sound FEA Labs Dual Band Distortion (way more flexible and covers every type of sound you could want).

lxxwj Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Check out Darkglass effects. Bit on the expensive side, but very felxible and I love the sound of their overdrive. Kinda aggressive, like Les Claypool's tone or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pob Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I second the Dark Driving. It's a quality thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 DHA VT1, Xotix Bass BB Preamp, and Catalinbread SFT are my recommendations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB2000 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Didn't Dan Armstrong put a pair of back to back germanium diodes in Jack Bruce's bass, with an in/out toggle switch? I did that 30 years ago with an overwound neck pickup when trying to sound like him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
