Critic Reviews

Flattley Bass Chief and Bass Poison Ivy review | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

Flattley's Bass Chief and Poison Ivy pedals serve up hefty overdrive and fuzz options with style. The Bass Chief excels in delivering creamy, subtle overdrive that retains low-end punch, while the Poison Ivy adds clarity and versatility with its Attack control. Enclosure art and illuminated halo rings are a visual delight, though the pedals face stiff competition in today's crowded market. If you're seeking rich, controllable bass distortion with a touch of visual flair, these UK-built gems are worth a look.
