YO! I was wondering if y'all could steer me in the direction of a killer overdrive/distortion pedal to cover grunge to metal, also a good envelope filter. my bass is a P/J

I have always like the Gallien-Krueger Diesel Dawg for bass overdrive.

No problem. Good luck with your search!

Diesel Dawg is awesome. That thing can get REALLY fuzzy distortion if you want it to, but will give you a subtler grit too if you dial back the gain. I also use the Fulltone OCD and love the Tech 21 Sansamp bassdriver. The Sansamp is the most expensive but it is also a DI box, which is invaluable as a bass player for recording AND live. You can run through that out to a sound system and you're in business, no amp required. I seriously recommend checking it out, but if you don't have the money or don't like the tone then definitely check out the Diesel Dawg and OCD.

I'm a big fan of the Wren & Cuff Pickle Pie B. Extremely versatile from slight OD to insane fuzz along with a clean blend so the bass doesn't disappear in the mix.
