Help with Overdriven Tone

That's one of the pedals I'm looking at... I've read the review and listen to the soundclips and I like it.

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?

Really like the idea of having the clean signal control.

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?

+Several.
There you go mush - blend, distortion, bottom end and only 60 quid brand new. Job done.

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
