Members Benjamin Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 Big Muff - Big FuzzRAT - Good distortionTurbo RAT - Nastier good distortionBoss Bass OD - Can become distortedBoss DS-1 - Still a nasty unit You can almost try anything. Too many to mention. Go to some music stores and try something out, then buy a used one from Ebay! Pity the search is on or off here. Major suckdom. I use a Big Muff, Turbo RAT and the distortion on my MXR M-80. I have used a Tube Screamer and enjoyed that. Also a DS-1 for a short while, miss that one in a way.

Members fake-bass Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 i really like my MXR distortion +i have also owned both Russian and American Big Muff's...i prefer the Russian to the American, i guess i don't really like fuzz or at least the band im in has no need for fuzz bass.. but the MXR distortion + is really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Undead Sycip Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 I've used/own/presently own the following: Big Muff - best fuzz out there IMODeath by Audio Soundwave Breakdown - loss of bottom and no level controlDeath By Audio Harmonic Xformer - loss of bottom and limited controlAmerican Woman - classic rock vibe with a strange gate controlSansamp GT2 - very responsive to playing dynamics with lots of tone optionsDigitech Bass Driver - lots of control and optionsMXR DI + distortion - great EQ set but tinny distortionFrantone Lo Tone - Big bass boost with relatively clean fuzz (like bees buzzing)Fulltone Bass Drive - Good all around tone. Boost option allows two settings. If I had $150 and no pedals I will buy a used GT2 (about $75) and an American Woman or one used Fulltone Bass Drive.

Members Benjamin Posted November 19, 2006 Members Share Posted November 19, 2006 For an "ok" sample of Turbo RAT tone checkout my old band's myspace. They still have Emotional Fortification up, in which I used a Turbo RAT on a medium setting. www.myspace.com/antisocialcommentary The second half you can really hear it get angry. A good example of RAT/Turbo RAT tone is some of the Sonic Youth stuff from Dirty and Goo era. Fender P, Thunderbird or BC Rich Mockingbird through Turbo RAT and Mesa... MMMMMM The MXR M-80 DI+ distortion isn't the thickest out there, but it comes down to how you set it. It has the MXR noise gate built in which I reckon is bloody fantastic. Good for adding grind to the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Apendecto Posted November 20, 2006 Members Share Posted November 20, 2006 Originally posted by Zebra Can anyone post a RAT clip? I made two {censored}ty ones real quick. The first one is a Rat at a reasonable setting. The next starts off clean and then max distortion, medium and then a small amount. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=398042 Yo.
