Its starting point is a practical one: extending John Myung’s sonic work with his ABM-600 amplifiers while taking into account the distinctive character of his 6-string Music Man Bongo bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collaboration focuses on bass-appropriate saturation across its frequency range, rather than simply adapting a guitar effect. The two circuits meet complementary needs: enriching the sound with harmonics or reinforcing its presence in a dense arrangement. Combining them opens up a third sonic territory, with a higher gain level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor bassists who want to go from grit to huge riffs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003ebass distortion pedal\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed at musicians looking for several degrees of saturation at their feet. Its approach suits rock, hard rock and progressive metal: you can use one sound to thicken a line, then switch to a more pronounced texture for riffs and passages that need to take up more space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two switches make changes easy while playing, without requiring any programming. On a pedalboard, allow space for its 180 mm-wide enclosure. For rehearsals as well as live performances, the two VU meters provide a useful reference when adjusting your level after changing basses or settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo independent drives and a DI output for stage and studio\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive 1\u003c\/strong\u003e features Gain, Loud and Tone controls: saturation quantity, output level and tonal color. \u003cstrong\u003eDrive 2\u003c\/strong\u003e offers Grit for distortion and Burn for its output level. Each circuit has its own footswitch\u0026#59; activate both to combine their saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe connections include an instrument input, an output to the amplifier and a \u003cstrong\u003etransformer-isolated, balanced XLR DI output\u003c\/strong\u003e. The latter can be connected to a suitable mixing console or recording chain. The Ground Lift switch helps reduce hum caused by ground loops, while the two VU meters display the input and output levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first channel delivers rich, full-bodied mids and saturation reminiscent of the character of a tube amp. The second uses a thicker \u003cstrong\u003evintage fuzz\u003c\/strong\u003e with greater sustain. Together, they can produce a denser, distinctly saturated texture: an approach designed to color the sound, not merely increase its volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Myung has notably used this pedal in a recording environment with a digital audio workstation. He highlights the harmonic richness of Drive 1 and Drive 2’s ability to bring the bass forward without obscuring its presence. It is an interesting option if you want to add depth to your parts while retaining a clearly identifiable role within the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
