I had a chance to hear the Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive pedal at the music store the other day. I had no chance to record the demo, but this powerful, nasty little device really caught my eye...and ear.
As I spoke to the guy who was giving the demo, I called the sound "A Growling Beast" and he loved it. He was trying it out on this kind of bass: a Lakland 44-02, which they were selling for about $1500.00.
At about $90.00, this pedal looks like it could really add some BARK to your bass!
