I have a 5 string bass and I'm looking for a punchy metal tone for it. My question is that can you play on the 5th string with like 1/2 dropped tuning and not get too fuzzy with hard distortion?
@Tunturisorsa mm... you should see my mxr m80 video 8 (I'll upload it soon), it's really metallic and you can blend your dry signal to maintain the bass frequencies. The video will be online in a couple of days.
I always use the STD mode. Sounds less compressed and with more highs (bite) than the TubeSim. Always run a clean line straight outta my bass anyways too. PS: Kudos for Myxomatosis ;D
@borneo1984 It is INCREDIBLY responsive to dynamics! I play really hard and it overdrives really nicely, but recently a rather jazz bassist played through it and it just added a little warmth.

whew, i actually really like this one. how well does it retain the lows with the higher gains in tubesim mode?

@BombshellBill I think it retain the lows very well...it respects the sound of your bass and your amp too. Maybe in flat mode it has less bottom.

I like Flat mode.
is not murky sound at all!!!! and punch at the same time.

Nice one! Really useful review! How responsive is the pedal to how hard you play? If you play harder does it overdrive harder?
I have a P bass and seriously thinking about getting this

@borneo1984 I think it's quite responsive to dynamics, especially in TUBESIM mode.

Very good demo! Finally no chatting and a lot of playing! You should teach how to do a review to all those smartmouths on youtube!
Thank you so much man!
I'm an hardblues bass player and I think I'm gonna get this EBS.

What is the manufacturer of cables on the left from?

@gerobasu611 The jack on the left (pedal out) is a coaxial, the other is a reference.

@gorillazmaster I'm sorry but i can't because I don't have it anymore, but I can tell you that (in my opinion) it doesn't sound so good.
