Rodenberg OD replacement

[gs_triumph]

Hi,

I have a Rodenberg 728B pedal. It's the one with the two pedals, 808 overdrive and a clean boost, combined in to one unit.

I absolutely love the overdrive side of the pedal but I don't really use the clean boost at all and could use the space on my board more effectively.

I've been scouring the used market for a while looking for a standalone Rodenberg 808b but none are forthcoming.

Before I bite the bullet on a new one, are there any other overdrives I should be considering?

Cheers

I've never tried one, but from clips it sounds kinda like a tubescreamer for bass, the Xotic BB Preamp should sound kinda similar and be easier to find used.

Asking if there are any more you should be considering - well, yes, and be prepared for a million suggestions!!!

I have a few faves but they all sound very different and some work best with different basses or playing styles. Pike Vulcan and Bearfoot Blueberry are probably my top picks.

Cheers. I shout maybe have said any thing similar I should be considering 😉

I really really like the rodenberg. Just looking for more space

Oooohhh! That's a good price. Didn't see that. Think my mind might be made up! 😎
