Review: Great Pedal! Just get it. Better sound for all applications than the ODB-3. - Love this Pedal! For a long time I have always used a Boss Bass Overdrive ODB-3 pedal as my go to pedal. I used the ODB-3 as more of a driver with barely any distortion added and I would keep it on at all times. NOW, I have this awesome BB-1X Bass Driver to handle that so it is now my go to, always on, pedal. Again, I just use a tiny bit of the drive but man, it sounds way better, warmer and fatter than using the old Bass Overdrive as a subtle driver pedal. So now I use my ODB-3 after the BB-1X in my pedal chain for when I want to kick it on and add some nasty distortion to the mix. The line out is also a nice bonus if needed. I highly recommend the BB-1X. And still recommend the ODB-3 for some chunky distortion.
Review: Gutsy Tones with Punch! - I love this pedal! The DRIVE knob covers a lot of territory from clean but meaty with extra heft, to a mild growl with punch and definition, to a fuzz-laden distortion with clarity. The BLEND knob works in tandem with the DRIVE to sculpt a good balance between the effected tone and the original. The LOW, HIGH and LEVEL knobs are further useful in fine tuning the sound. I like that I can have driven tones without losing bottom end and with a good deal of control. I like tones with a moderate amount of drive the best and I find this pedal excels at that! The balanced line out is certainly a plus! It's built tough and it's been a great choice for me!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great drive pedal.
*by M***I on February 23, 2016*

I've recently played T-Rex Moller 2, Ibanez DS9B Tube Screamer, Catalinbread SFT Ampeg Amp Emulation, EBS, Microtubes, Fulltone overdrive and a few other no-names. This Boss BB1X would rate pretty high on the list. I'm not usually into bass distortion but appreciate a great overdrive.This pedal can get pretty crunch by cranking the drive. I like the blend option as well. Overall, great pedal, built like a tank, great tones and a good value. I'd highly recommend this pedal.
