Someone requested a review for this, so here we go.
The Pedal:
The X-Series Bass Driver is an Overdrive/Distortion pedal that does more than simply create overdrive or distortion, as I will detail
Specs:
The pedal has a four knob matrix, as follows
Level - The overall loudness of the effects, when turned on. Does not effect clean signal level
Tone - Surprisingly, helps shape your tone. From what I've heard, it sounds like a treble boost/cut to me; turned all the way to the right, you get a crisper sound, turned all the way to the left, you get muddier, and less clear.
Blend - Determines the level of the distortion/OD mixed with the clean signal
Morph - This is what makes the pedal so great. This knob allows you to choose between three different distortion sounds, modeled after three different stompboxes. Thus, this pedal is like a multieffects, but for a single effect, in this case, distortion.
The Distortion:
Using the Morph knob, you can determine just what kind of distortion sounds you get. Toward the left side of the spectrum, you get a lighter, 'dirtier' distortion. Around the middle of the spectrum, it gets thicker, and fatter, until, at the near-full to full positions, you get all-out fuzz. I can't state enough how great this feature is, because it gives you a large range of distortion to choose from. Combine this with the ability to mix the wet/dry signal, the and play with the tone knob, the sounds you can get out of this thing are virtually limitless.
Now, I have played with similar distortion pedals...such as the Boss ODB 3, and the Ibanez PD7. Honestly, neither pedal comes close to the sounds that this pedal can give. The PD7 has very few settings, and even when you mess with them, the distortion sound remains pretty much the same, with tiny, minor differences. I did not get the chance to mess with the Boss as much, but I was not impressed when I did. I've heard the sounds of the Big Muff, and even that does not impress me. I don't know about settings or anything on it, because I've never played on one myself, so don't hold that against me
Overall:
This is my only recommendation when it comes to bass distortion. This one just simply gives you so many options when it comes to shaping your tone, it isn't funny. Combine the tone shaping power of this, plus your amp, plus your bass if you have active EQ...you'll find your signature tone in no time
