It all started when I made him an arcadiator. My bud, who is a real musician, gigs every week, you know, now has the pedal bug. The arcadiator is a bit over the top for him though, even with the blend mod... I think he may use it to play a Jamariquai song, but thats it.
Anyone know a good bass overdrive? He does not want a fuzz, or a distortion, he wants OD. I loaned him a timmy, but he said it was too mild... I heard the klone does not boost the bass well. I'm kind of in the dark when it comes to bass pedals, cause I don't play bass. Seems like most pedals need to be modded to work well with bass, but I'm kind if in the dark here and I want to make him something that earns a permanent spot on his board.
Recommendations?
DAM Ezikiel is pretty highly regarded for bass
jmkpcbs has a great one, guitarpcb has a great one and the one I use is the byoc bas overdrive.
Ampegulator? Not sure if that is the right name, but may want to check into that.

Something based on the Barbershop would be perfect.
The Southampton Fifth Gear is awesome... I believe it's based on an old Electra Distortion (or overdrive), which apparently is almost the same thing as the EQD Speaker Cranker.
I've had good luck using a Red Llama clone for bass (with a couple of value changes). It gets nasty fast, though. The drive knob on a Klone is actually a dual gang pot; one affects the gain, the other blends in the distorted signal. You could use to separate pots for gain and a dry blend. A dry blend is a common approach to preserving the low end.
