Vintage Microtubes Bass Overd : Really good sounding overdrive.

This is a pretty great sounding pedal. There's been a lot of hype surrounding it but thankfully it's pretty justified.

I bought it to have as an always-on overdrive after hearing demos on low gain settings but it's actually got more gain on tap than I'd imagined, making it pretty versatile.

Build quality is great as well and the soft touch switch is a nice feature and makes switching on/off completely silent.

I'd argue that the blend knob is fairly redundant, though. I've been using it without any clean blend (fully wet) and it still retains enough of the bottom end and presence to be heard in a dense band mix.

The only gripe I would have is that the LED is blindingly bright.

All things considered, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who can afford it. It's probably the best sounding overdrive I've used.
