A great overdrive that sounds awesome on guitar and bass.

The Bizarre Engeneering is a portuguese company that produces high quality pedals. The Bizarre is an overdrive/distortion pedal that was built inicially for guitar but I really like how it sounds on bass also. It has an independent clean volume, a general volume and a gain, and also has an eq section that only afects the overdriven signal and leaves the clean untouched. It also has certain cool features, like top jacks, a connection for a remote switch and a footswitch that functions in latch or momentary (and is super quiet). I already knew the first version and I think it's one of the best overdrives that I've heard for guitar. But I was always curious about how it sounded with bass, specially this new version. Last friday, I went to a local shop that had this pedal for sale and I was fortunate that the guy that makes them was also there. I asked to try the pedal with the bass and choose a P-bass that was at the store. I setted al the knobs at noon and just turned it on. I sounded awesome, full and super gritty. It doesn't loose any low end but it ads a bit a mids that gives some bite to the tone and helps cutting through whaterver you need. It sounded great with the clean cutted, but I really liked how it sounded with the clean full up. The two signals blended perfectly, and it helped keep the definition and the low end. The eq is also super usefull and, although I only played a bit with it, it's not difficult to shape your sound with it. The bass helps to fatten up the sound, but does not get muddy, the mids brings more presence and definition to the drive, and the highs gives more clarity without thinning the sound too much. The drive sounds great also, really organic and not too much compressed, and it's really sensitive to the playing dynamics. I liked how it sounds with low gain and with higher gain settings, and It's a great sounding overdrive for bass.
