Inspired by scooped progressive metal bass sounds found in many of the most famous bass preamp pedals of the ‘90s, the Plutonium Overdrive adds a new flavour to the mix with its powerful EQ and versatile mid-boosting ‘Crush’ control. Lossy-based on the classic muff-style circuit, this heavily-modified low-end powerhouse is built to take your bass to new sonic heights!

Key Features

  • Initial State – Set the pedal’s power-up state using the hardwired ‘initial state’ switch, perfect for when using with pedalboard switching systems, and you want to ensure that your pedal always powers up on.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.
