Barber

I've just bought a Barber LTD Silver overdrive pedal off Basszilla (top bloke).

What a nice pedal. It doesn't rip your head off with death metal distortion, but it's great for a grungy/vintage rock style crunch. It holds the bass well too.

Anyone else like/have experience with Barber pedals?

I've used the LTD Silver and the Tone Press. I don't have either of them any more but was very impressed. I preferred them on guitar rather than bass (especially the tone press) but great pedals nonetheless. David Barber's a great guy to deal with as well.

Despite them being mainly guitar pedals, why did you prefer them on guitar fella? What was about them that wasn't so good on bass?

The Tone Press loses a bit of low end, especially on high compression settings and I found it to be quite noisy (more-so on bass than guitar).

The LTD silver is great, very organic. No doubt a great pedal but not what I want on bass, I prefer my dirt to have a slightly more compressed sound.
