BOSS BB-1X Bass Driver Guitar Pedal (BB-1X)

Love this Pedal! For a long time I have always used a Boss Bass Overdrive ODB-3 pedal as my go to pedal. I used the ODB-3 as more of a driver with barely any distortion added and I would keep it on at all times. NOW, I have this awesome BB-1X Bass Driver to handle that so it is now my go to, always on, pedal. Again, I just use a tiny bit of the drive but man, it sounds way better, warmer and fatter than using the old Bass Overdrive as a subtle driver pedal. So now I use my ODB-3 after the BB-1X in my pedal chain for when I want to kick it on and add some nasty distortion to the mix. The line out is also a nice bonus if needed. I highly recommend the BB-1X. And still recommend the ODB-3 for some chunky distortion.

I love this pedal! The DRIVE knob covers a lot of territory from clean but meaty with extra heft, to a mild growl with punch and definition, to a fuzz-laden distortion with clarity. The BLEND knob works in tandem with the DRIVE to sculpt a good balance between the effected tone and the original. The LOW, HIGH and LEVEL knobs are further useful in fine tuning the sound. I like that I can have driven tones without losing bottom end and with a good deal of control. I like tones with a moderate amount of drive the best and I find this pedal excels at that! The balanced line out is certainly a plus! It's built tough and it's been a great choice for me!

I've recently played T-Rex Moller 2, Ibanez DS9B Tube Screamer, Catalinbread SFT Ampeg Amp Emulation, EBS, Microtubes, Fulltone overdrive and a few other no-names. This Boss BB1X would rate pretty high on the list. I'm not usually into bass distortion but appreciate a great overdrive.This pedal can get pretty crunch by cranking the drive. I like the blend option as well. Overall, great pedal, built like a tank, great tones and a good value. I'd highly recommend this pedal.

Everything was fine but it was a hassle getting it. It passed through the post office. I had to queue for 2 hrs before i could get the package. I expected it to be delivered at home.

Great sound -- the mix of regular bass tone and the overdrive makes for a beautiful full tone. Really happy overall with this -- when I need that overdrive/punchy sound, I can turn this one and not lose the bottom end thickness. Battery goes fast -- recommend you remove battery between uses if you'll be stowing it for a few days.

Tremendous effects pedal that can handle the rigors of a pedal board and tours. Superb dependability. BOSS is the BOSS !

Gives my bass the kick it always needed.

While I initially like it, the more I tested it and used it in actual band settings, the less I liked it. The high end is harsh and unusable, the lows to boomy, the result is a scooped sound. In addition, the fuzz is very artificial and “bag of bees” sounding, you can’t really very the fuzz from a slight edge or hair and dial up from there….you can only blend in a fixed “bag o bees” sound. For the price, I was very disappointed and only found one usable setting. TC Spark Booster is less than half the price and sounds way better.

BOSS es calidad . Ya tenía el Bass Chorus hace 7-8 años y sigue como nuevo .Tenía ganas del Bass Driver BB-1X porque además de de ver Videos de muestra , para mi BOSS no es una opción, es la mejor elección. Duraderos y de calidad .

Just the thing to fatten that sound out with a little grind for when full on distortion is too much. I use it with the boss oc3 octave and here two are always on.

Love it. Versatile pedal that brings out the best in my basses. Also acts as DI out from board to Desk.

まずデザインに惚れました。メタリックミッドナイトブルーにクロームメッキ。今迄にない高級感があります。 早速繋いで音を出してみるが、なぜか噂程ではないと感じた。 太くてパンチのある音という触れ込みだったが、どちらかというとドライな痩せた音。 おかしい・・ 接続を変えてみました。最初はベース→マルコン→M-80→BB-1Xだったのを、マルコンとM-80の間に挟みました。 最終的にM-80で作り込んだ音で出力されるようになり音痩せは解消できました。 そしていろいろいじっているうちに凄いことに気付きました。 どんな弾き方をしても、その弾き方に応じた良いサウンドにしてくれることに。 トレブルをやや下げて指で弾けば、ベースならではの太さが損なわれることなく、しかも低音域でも音程が明瞭で、タイトさも損なわれない。（ここ結構重要） 一番驚いたのはスラップでの使用。プルでも音が割れることなくタイトさをしっかりキープ。 しかもサムで低音を鳴らしても潰れない。指にしっかり反応して締まった音が出る。 確かに歪みはデジタルだが、デジタルでなければ出来ないことを最大限に引き出した今迄にない画期的なエフェクター。 いや、本当に驚きました。歪んだ時の悩みを一掃してくれる素晴らしいエフェクターです。

Spend an extra $10 and get a Darkglass pedal. Don't waste your time with this box Tone is thin and artificial. Drive is useless and lack of EQ versatility
