Bass Drive / Tech 21 / Boss GX1

[BassAdder60]

I’m looking at adding some drive to my clean tone to run in front of my amp for live use.

 

I do not use a lot of FX but I could benefit for slight light drive on certain songs 

 

Should I just buy a drive pedal or something like the Tech 21 Bassdriver DI  or a low cost multi fx such as Boss GX1 all around the same price 

 

If the Boss GX1 does a decent overdrive sound ( very mild to fuzz ) it may be money well spent with the other features on offer 

 

Thoughts ?

There are 2 pedals I like for this, TC Electronic Spark Booster and Ampeg Scrambler. The TC is very transparent, Ampeg adds a little to the tone but not much. If pushed I’d go Ampeg due to the blend option to keep the solid clean signal in there.
