Mozztronics BOD-1 Bass Overdrive Pedal

Mozztronics BOD-1 Bass Overdrive Pedal

HAND MADE, LOCALLY MANUFACTURED

Most guitar overdrive pedals tailor the sound before and after the clipping stage. This results in a loss of bottom end, as too much bass in an overdriven sound can make the sound “flabby”.

This is the Mozztronics take on a pedal especially for bass players.  The solution is to take the signal from the bass guitar and split it. One path goes straight to the output via the DRY volume control, the other path goes through a high pass filter (to remove the flab from the overdrive) and then to a double clipping stage so as the signal level increases each different clipping stage contributes accordingly. This signal then goes to the CONTOUR circuitry and to the WET volume control. By changing the levels of DRY and WET you can easily vary the balance between the two signals. By keeping the original signal, we retain a warm bottom end and we add in as much dirt up top as is desired.

GAIN controls the amount of overdrive from barely on to full on shred, DRY controls the amount of normal signal from the bass guitar, WET adjusts the amount of overdriven signal, and there is a CONTOUR switch to select between bright and normal overdrive.

Does not come with a power supply, Mozztronics uses the industry standard Boss style 2.1mm center negative 9V DC socket for the power supply connection.
