It'll surprise you
Bought this as a second to my Ibanez Bass Phat Hed. I love noisy, dirty bass tone on a budget, but the trouble with affordable bass distortion pedals is that they take away more from your tone than they add to it. To me there's not point adding noise with a pedal if it kills your ground and your audience stops feeling the low-end. I bought this after hearing demos of the £150 Ibanez bass driver, which to me sounded like a fart on a snare drum. This is now my first choice pedal, I can use it to boost my signal while adding a surprisingly versatile drive with the blend dial. I've even recorded with it DI and it sounded great.
