Ultimate Drive : A great drive for a bass

12 years ago

I use it on my bass and it is great. It can go from low gain overdrive to almost fuzz-like distortion. It works really good with my other dirt pedals (boss odb-3 and zoom b3), either driving them or being driven by them. I mostly use it as a low gain drive to give a more aggressive sound when required.

On the negative side: the "curve" of the gain and level knob is not very regular (not the same effect on the sound from 1 to 10). The EQ also varies when you push the gain knob: a slight low cut at low gain and they are boosted as you push the gain.

Still, definitely my best « bang for your buck » pedal.
