Breaking Benjamin

Verified via YouTube

In a backstage tour video titled "HooGie Walkthrough - Ben and Mark's Gear" on YouTube, Breaking Benjamin's guitar/bass tech HooGie confirms that Mark Klepaski's bass signal consistently utilizes a "Budda distortion pedal" that is "always on". The pedal shown at the 1:24 mark appears to be the Budda Phatbass Bass Overdrive, distinguished by its dark blue color and its application in Klepaski's main bass tone.
