the hand of john curley Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hi, Could any of you lovely people let me know if you have one of these and how you rate it? I need something that doesn't suck all the tone out and that allows full control over the amount of overdrive, some of our stuff warrants full on dirge.....others just a background fuzz!

Mr. Foxen Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 The Lomenzo one is great. It should be the go to distortion pedal for bass, like the ODB3 used to be before everyone realised it totally sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Not tried the Drive Plus, but I could not for the life of me get a decent sound out of the Lomenzo. Sounded a bit weak to me, neither a warm tubey overdrive or a high gain distortion, just somewhere inbetween in the land of 'meh'. Also the lows were lacking since the distortion signal is just a narrow midrange band added on top of the dry signal resulting in a big mid hump. Still, lots of people seem to like it and it's dirt cheap so give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylager Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Loved my Lomenzo & if they made it a proper size, I'd buy another tomorrow. FWIW, the Bass Big Muff I replaced it with is smaller, gives a similar sound, has less knobs and is 2 pints cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I think the tweaks in it aren't where you'd expect them to be, because it is a slightly odd way of working. Some session chap bought my one, and got a really nice bit of bitey edge on otherwise clean bass, buy just fiddling with knobs without knowing what they do. I was using it for straight distortion, and it wasn't have off what I do with a guitar pedal and an LS2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
