«  To correct some opinions ... One of the best "light" overdrive market »

Low analog overdrive type.
We must refocus the usefulness of this pedal, the equivalent of the famous TS9 sister guitar, the goal is clearly to get that sound so characteristic of a tube amplifier whose gain is pushed to its limits. This it does very well.
It can not be that, and nothing else. And it is clear that it was made for it.

You want an overdrive that pulls the distortion: go your way.

Specifications:

Input Impedance: 500 Ohms
Output Impedance: 10 Ohms
Maximum output level: 0dBm
Maximum Gain: 30 dB
Equivalent input noise =-100dBm
Powered by 9V battery or external AC adapter

UTILIZATION

Very simple settings.
Short manual and complete.
The sound editing is very easy; gain the pedal, a slight correction to keep the bass as the bass used, and add a little treble, it adjusts the volume based and voila.

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality indisputable.
typical vintage overdrive with all the settings you need to get out (bass, middle, treble)
Rickenbacker 4003 and used with Gibson Thunderbird Studio 5

OVERALL OPINION

I wrote this opinion to fix some other on this site, respect for equipment worth more than incompetence and nullity of some.
For those who know the TS9 guitar, this pedal allows the same bass, neither more nor less.
This is EXACTLY the pedal you need if you want to get the bass sound slightly distorted that means thousands of production since the beginning of time, relatively speaking.
This pedal is one of the best bass overdrive market, if you try to use it for what it was made.
It adds a sleek vintage to your sound, as if you push the gain of your tube amp to get that warm sound characteristics.
It can only do this, but you can not blame him because it was made for that, and not something else.

It does not go into a Registry for low distortion, again. Its maximum, the light overdrive.

For comparison, it is the same in terms of quality that Xotic Bass BB Preamp, Xotic except that provides a more modern, and the TS9-Bass allows only register more warmer, vintage.
