It's based off of the Tubescreamer circuit, and there are a lot of overdrive pedals with the same circuit out there. The thing with the Bass BB that makes it a little different is that it retains its lows very well and is in a very compact size. Modded Ibanez Tube Screamers and modded clones like the Badder Bad Monkey should hold a better low end and may be easier for you to find in your area or online.
No, it does not. I just tested it with the gain dimed for you, and the added noise was minimal. I'm running the pedal straight into my amp for this vid- no noise gates or anything else in-line.
cool pedal.... the only problem it's a bit hard to find here in italy.... do ya know of other pedals with similar features?
i'm lookin' for bit of extra gain and natural distortion!!

@bryanrtyler would you know where to find good mod schematics of the TS-9 for bass, or more powerful low end?
