4-band EQ / Distortion channel / Compressor / Noise gate / DI
Includes box, power supply, manual/brochures.
Really nice sounding EQ. Lows are not boomy and highs are not harsh. Boost/cut isn’t too extreme.
I believe the distortion is based on the EHX Glove, which is an OCD clone, but includes a clean blend and can be routed in before, after, or parallel with the EQ section, so it’s very tailorable.
The comp is one knob and selected with a push button. I believe it’s based on their Bass Preacher circuit. Nice at mild settings for subtle leveling.
Noise gate is there, I don’t ever use it (just turn it all the way down).
Also has a ground lift, bypass for the DI (send just the dry signal), volume attenuation for the DI, and the normal in, out dry and out wet.
My only complaint is that it does not work on phantom power, so I’m really looking for a trade for something that does. MXR M80 or M81 or maybe Tech21 Sansamp VT Bass DI (I already have a BDDI). I’ll add some cash for the VT.
Would also trade toward a MIM fretless Jazz Bass neck (plus additional cash from me).
