markdavid Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hi, I have seen a Boss OD3 overdrive pedal going for a good price. I was looking at maybe buying the pedal I am after a very subtle overdrive effect, no blazing distortion , no over the top fuzz , I am just after something that can produce a subtle overdrive to add a bit of warmth to my tone and bring out the growl of my J pick up a bit, Will this pedal do this? I have tried the Boss Bass Overdrive before but it was too over the top and too distorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdavid Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 sorry I meant to include a picture of the pedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 It's a pretty good pedal and goes from a nice fuzz thru to completely OTT Distortion. I have one (2 months old) for sale. Immaculate condition with box, paperwork etc- I just don't use it in my set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbo Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 (edited) Have you checked out the Fulltone Bassdrive? They go for about £200, from what you've said I reckon it'll do what you require. Edited July 25, 2007 by thumbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlord Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I think this is for guitar. I used to have the ODB-3, which is designed for bass and it sucked bigtime. I would stay away. +1 on the fulltone bassdrive recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chardbass Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I have an ODB-3 and I don't want it. It sucks- literally. As in sucks all tone out of your bass. Also be aware that a lot of the great overdriven sounds you hear are mixed with a clean signal too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonlord Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 BTW, if you want search for info on the Tone Factor Cream Pie... I might be selling mine soon, it could also work well for what you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
