The FX91 Bass Overdrive is a distortion box designed for bass guitar that allows you to mix distorted bass with your original sound. It gives you thunderous low-end power while retaining the punch you need to cut through even loudest band. You could use a normal guitar distortion box, but not only do they not have the bottomend punch you need, but they'll even roll off the low end, giving it a whimpy "squished" sound. On the following pages, some examples of different types of sounds are shown, along with graphics representations of how to set the knobs. Since good (or bad) bass guitar sounds are subjective matter, use these examples as starting points to create sounds that meet your specific tastes (or lack thereof). The FX91 however, is sure to fulfill almost any need. You can make it sound flubby and big, make it sneer like death metal, or add just a touch of distortion for extra bite. BIT O' GRIT Use this sound for either picked tones or fingerstyle. This setting helps create a fat mattress of distorted bliss. great for riffing or funky lines.
