I'd definitely recommend the EHX Soul Food. Its a really transparent overdrive that gives a nice little bit of overdrive to your guitar. For delays,choruses, and stuff of that nature, TC Electronic makes some pretty good stuff so I'd check them out.

Hey! Thank you for the reply. I've looked into the B3k, but my biggest deterrence is the $250 price tag. I just haven't really gotten myself to justify spending that much on a type of distortion when I haven't really played with a whole lot of em yet. I'll definitely look into the ISP Theta/beta as well.

I have two pedals in my possession right now for distortion: OCD by Fulltone and the EHX Bass Soul food. Really wasn't pleased with the soul food, its only really great at being a clean boost. However, the OCD is really nice. To me, it definitely sits in the distortion range on my bass and I was hoping that I'd get an overdrive just so I'd have something a little bit lighter on my board for the parts in my songs where I don't wanna give it a big push. I'll also end up getting the Swollen Pickle as a fuzz eventually (Black metal needs big doomy tones okay? :P)

I noticed that you recommended me a sansamp. What would be the advantages to having one? I feel like I get the tone I'd like already out of my head (Hartke LH500) but if there are any other advantages to getting that preamp (or others) I'll definitely check it out. The local GC around here has them.

Also I've looked around on Talkbass a few times. I might actually go sign up one of these days! :)

Hello everyone! I am new to this website and must I say it is rather addicting!

Anyways, I'm a bassist in two different bands (a black metal band and a hardcore band) and I've recently gotten around to playing with different types of pedals. I tried a Swollen Pickle fuzz on my bass and I absolutely loved how well it retained my low end and responded to my low B (pedals either don't grind up my B enough or make my B too muddy/mushy, even if its a pedal designed for bass). However, right now I'm much more interested in getting an overdrive. I was wondering if anyone on here has had experience with the Green Rhino overdrive and curious about peoples' experiences with them.

My main concerns are will it retain the low end really well and and will it react with my low B in a nice way. There isn't a music store nearby that has one and I'd like to see some feedback on it before I order one. Thanks in advance!
