I sold my Bass Big Muff pi recently as I realized fuzz is not what I am looking for (no offense, Mr. Snow
![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
). Today I went to Sam Ash intent on auditioning (and buying) a MXR Bass Overdrive given what I had read (and seen on youtube). While there I looked to see what else they had in the display case, and saw something that did not fly into my radar screen while researching pedals, a TC Electronic
MOJOMOJO overdrive pedal. I had not heard of it and figuring it was a guitar pedal I wanted to try it, of course!

Darn, the little thing came home with me after playing with it for about an hour through a Gallien-Krueger 700RB II into a Markbass 4-10 cabinet, using my 4004L with rounds on it. I can get a pretty good approximation of an overdriven Marshall, something unattainable with the BBM pi, which was all about a fizzy gritty distortion no matter how I set it, just more or less of that. The
MOJOMOJO can get that if cranked but it can be very subtle too, if needed. I also like that it has separate Bass and Treble tone controls vs. a 1 knob tone control on the BBM pi, giving me a much wider range of choices in my overdriven tone. No doubt, the search for the ultimate overdrive for bass will continue, as it has for the past several decades

but for now it will take a break.
