Will add loads of grit if needed and works as a damn fine boost too!

I've read the review and listen to the soundclips and I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauBass Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'm quite picky when it comes to effects, I don't use many and when I used them I always like to have my bass tone there with the added effect. I mean, I always prefer to have the blend option so I can choose the presence of the effect in my sound... Do you know what I mean? Has anyone tried the Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive?

PauBass Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 I finally went with the TC Electronic Vintage Bass Distortion and I have to say it's a great pedal but it leans more to fuzzy tones. Excellent to add character and dirt to your tone and then the boost switch to dial in a more distorted sound at the same volume. Now I'm after a Distortion and the tone I've got in mind is the one from the original Marshall Guv'nor. I know with this one you need a blend pedal to add clean signal but I really don't want to ad more pedals to my board. Any ideas about which pedal can give this kind of distortion and keep the bottom end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go mush - blend, distortion, bottom end and only 60 quid brand new. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swaff Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I recently bought a HyperDrive and it's fantastic, any suggestions on sounds though? Ive been looking for a Entwistle, 5:15 solo kinda sound, but no luck so far. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
