DanEly Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I need some help looking for a really throaty punchy distortion/fuzz. I've got a microtubes b3k (for sale) to be replaced by a b7k and a bass big muff that great for the things I want them for but I'm after a different really gutsy, throaty distortion, with mids that really do sing and up out whilst mataining fundamental low end punch. Maybe I'm after more of a fuzz than a distortion. What do you guys reckon? I was thinking of maybe a USA big muff. I'd be playing this though a P + and Ampeg vr What do you reckon?

Kev Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 What is your budget? You would do a lot worse than giving Cog effects a message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy64 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I have a 1978 RAT clone that works so well on both bass and guitar. A modern ProCo RAT should be easy enough to pick up used on the bay...in fact, I think there was one in the for sale section a little while ago....it was £40 or something like that.

topo morto Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 IE QF2 (Disclaimer : I'm selling mine) is a bit of a midrange king, as you can focus and stucture your mids with the 4 band EQ and then sweep those with the expression pedal as you play. For a simpler thing, have you tried an SFT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanEly Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'll check out all the pedal mentioned!

What about the Xotic Bass BB? Edited December 28, 2013 by topo morto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
