Quality:
It is extremely durable.

Desirability:
It has definitely added a new dimension of sound in my rock band. I'd hate to have to do without it.

Sound:
This is the only decent bass distortion pedal I've ever heard which is why I bought it. I play it through a Peavey Megabass head & an 18" PAS speaker. I usually have the attack on2, the mode on DIST, the his on 3 & the other knobs on 7-8 & I get thick fuzzy distortion that cuts through without sacrificing bottom. It's great for my rock power trio. But when I recorded with it going direct, it didn't have the same balls. My other critique about it, it amplifies amp hiss like crazy; better get a noise gate. I'm still looking for a good one.

Support:
I attempted to get it fixed to reduce hiss from the company. No luck.

Overall:
If they made a quieter version of this pedal. I'd replace it. but I've never heard a bass distortion pedal that cuts without sacrificing bottom like this one does.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
it has clean, overdrive, and distortion on it. it has an attack knob which changes the sound like set on 2 it can make clicking fret buzz type sounds like Fieldy from Korn but it amplifies so much amp static that it isn't useful at all unless you have a noise gate pedal. it has low and high EQ knobs so you can play with the distortion's sound and get more low end. pretty useful.

Quality:
the product ios pretty sturdy. it is really reliable and i am not worried it will break. seems like it will last a while.

Value:
it's about half the price of the Boss ODB-3 and sounds just as good.

Desirability:
it's features and designs are really sweet. it's an ugly pedal but rocks. shouldn't judge things cuz of it's looks cuz this pedal sounds good.

Sound:
it sounds really good. better than the boss. i like to use the overdrive but the distortion is better too. I'm using this with an Ibanez SR400, Ampeg BA112, and Boss limite/enhancer compression pedal. doesn't change tone at all when off. i'm using this to play around and come up with cool solos and stuff like that.

Ease of Use:
it's easy to get sweet sounds out of this. the EQ is really tight. tweak the low end and high end. it is easy to use with other pedals and doesn't suck any tone at all when turned off

Support:
dunno haven't dealt with them lol

Overall:
i will prob use it for a while. i'd replace it if it was lost or stolen

Feature:
this pedal had all the controls i needed to make my bass playing have a little bit of kick

Quality:
this product has the best quality out of some other pedals ive seen. its metal and the buttons can be pushed in so you dont accident change your settings with your foot.

Value:
in short this is a very good bass disortion pedal, at a very low price compared to some of the other brands

Desirability:
this product looks great, it has a tough rugged look to it

Sound:
sounds great, has good distortion, great deal

I was worried that this pedal would not live up to the outstanding reviews I've read...but this thing seriously rocks. You get very little overdrive to massive distortion (which I always use) and the attack mode makes slapping and popping sound unique and it blends well with distortion. If you play bass, you've got to own this.

Feature:
i'm not too familiar with bass pedals, but i've seen enough to know this thing has enough options to make sure you'll never need another distortion pedal; lev, low, high, dist, att, mode.

Quality:
i love the nobs; how they lock inside the pedal. i feels strong and sturdy and i'm sure it can take a fall of a small house

Value:
it has a perfect price - $50

Desirability:
i'm confused by this question a bit, but if i'm being asked what i think i'm being asked, yes, this pedal is goddam sexy. i'd spend a tiring and restless night of endless love with it...

Sound:
My friend (whom I was in a band with) got this pedal for christmas a year ago and i just started jamming with his bass n' pedal. considering the crappy amp it was connected to, it made some great sound; it had nice, shaped distortion, with the chug still there.

Support:
it's not my pedal, but i haven't heard him ranting about how it crapped out (and i doubt it has), so i can't answer this question, but i'm sure ibanez can take care of any problems...i mean, it is ibanez

Overall:
there is no need to look for another bass pedal

I've never heard a bass overdrive that was actually able to give me a mean tone without sucking out all the low mids. it sounds huge. for an idea of the tone, try listening to some of System of a Down's second album. the bassist uses it occasionally, and it sounds incredible!

Feature:
One knob for the level, 2 for the eq and one for the drive, a switch to choose between clean, overdriven and distorted and a switch to regulate the attack...off-1-2. The stomp box is out of metal. Great.

Quality:
Metal! Knobs can be pushed in so you can't break them.
