    It’s not. I actually play bass, not just cover them in tape and house paint.

        Thank you for your input. I value it very much and will re-evaluate my life.

          I've recorded with the Bad Monkey on bass, and it does work Being a TS-style pedal, it does take away he actual bass and hype the mids, though. I'd think a more broad spectrurm OD would be better.

            I was actually gonna ask that....Is Formula Bass a new-is thing or have you always. I have been dabbling in bass for the past ~4 years maybe.

              It might be but the J could use a bit of midrange in my opinion. I never had issues with it cutting bass. I always found it a bit soft and bottom-heavy for guitar, which was why I eventually tried it on bass.

                  May I also suggest the Morley Cliff Burton Fuzz Wah. I love mine on bass and guitar.

                    I was working on a song tonight and didn't feel like working downstairs, so I plugged a bass into my living room setup. Both the gain channel on my tube driver combo and joyo Taichi provided nice grit to full on distortion tones.

                      I'm still praising my EHX Allied Overdrive.

                      Blend control, two series overdrive circuits with each their gain control.

                      3-band EQ. I use it for "everything".
                      If somethings important- send a PM. I might be offline for long periods. Rock on!!!
