DRV BASS MOD V2

Ships in 1-2 weeks

OK, so here’s the deal on DRV BASS versions. I’ve released several iterations, and this will be one of those. This one is awesome. 

This is the cleanest of all bass iterations thus far, but also one of the most aggressive. It is so clear, punchy, and immediate, it almost doesn't feel like a distortion. It feels like a boost or a fuzz, but is also on of the most interesting and useful versions of the circuit.

THIS ONE SOUNDS GREAT ON GUITAR!!!

This is the first bass version that I really think does sound great on guitar. You can feel the low end slam your amp as soon as you click it on. This sounds great for heavy blues riffs, lead guitar, ripping broken amp sounds, and anytime you want to rip.  

It just makes your bass guitar growl. It can be used as an always on, or for when you need the added thickness on the low end. While lower gain overall, it can still get into near fuzz territory, while retaining much more clarity and punch than previous versions. 

The black powder coating is slightly textured, and is extremely durable. The other notable change is that the logo will be slightly raised, which I think is a nice effect.

w/ long point black knobs on black

w/ dumble knobs (UFO) on white

This is a high quality and unique distortion pedal in sound and design. To me, this circuit really shines in the lower gain stages, and has a lot of clarity and character. One of my favorite sounds is zero gain, barely clipping clean, but I also love the middle range of the gain knob, all the way up to nearly fuzz! Sounds cool to open the CUT knob all the way!

Internal switch to select true-bypass (almost always worse, but sometimes better!)

These pedals (from this batch) will be hand assembled by Jack, AWOL, and I, in Nashville, TN.

Runs on 9v standard (boss style) power. Battery clip or power supply is not included. An isolated power supply is recommended.
