Members bengerm77 Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 I've been sick of my boss bass OD pedal (it's actually tinny dist) for quite some time, and I've been thinking about alternatives. The idea I'm leaning towards mostly is the idea of getting a rackmount preamp and using it as an effect. What would happen if I did this? I plan on putting my bass signal through the preamp and then out of a line out into the input of my regular bass amp (SWR 4004). Would this break/damage anything? Thoughts on this potential setup?

Members Lanefair Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 You'll be using 2 preamps at once. Not dangerous I don't think. I owned that boss od, it's fun if youre a guitarist that plays a bass, but yeah wasp in a tin on the high end. Might want to plug into the 'active' input if you have one.

Members gambit Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 you should check out the Akai G-Drive. i'm not a bassist, but i got some huge sounding overdrives from that on a bass. you can fully sculpt the pre and post distortion eq, to give a clean boost, a touch of overdrive (think Korn bass sounds.. as an extreme) an anything else up to real fuzz. it's all in the eq.

Members natasmi Posted November 21, 2006 Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 If you can, try a DOD 250 overdrive/preamp, check it out. I use one for bass overdrive and it sounds very good with minimal bass loss. Cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
