I loved this pedal! It was used on the Re-Entry EP, the Sacred Order Of The Owl EP, and I think The Forest And The Trees LP. It was key because the highs were rather spitty, if left unchecked (in my opinion). I liked that it had a blend knob to fine tune the overdrive with your clean botttom end, and the adjustable highs/lows split knob was a great feature. It’s a dependable, sturdy stompbox that’s easy to get and affordable – awesome attributes for a touring musician. First and foremost, the ODB-3 is one of the secret weapons on Aaron Dallison’s pedal board since the Keelhaul days. The Zoom went back into it’s box, and was eventually sold at a garage sale in 2012 for $15. I didn’t use half of what the Zoom offered, and the plastic enclosure didn’t instill a lot of confidence, so I decided to simplify and improve in one stroke by grabbing a Boss TU-2 tuner and ODB-3 Bass Overdrive. With the upgrade of my amp situation to the Peavey Nitrobass 400, I felt the need to improve my signal path. The tuner was a godsend I previously had to unplug my bass and snap into a little QuickTune device, and all in all it got me through just fine with that Crate BX100. It did overdrives well enough, but wasn’t so hot at the chorus and flanger/phaser type effects that were included. In all honesty, it was an acceptable pedal. I quickly dialed in the industrial bass overdrive sounds I wanted (think BILE?) and we kept making noise. ![]() ![]() The Zoom 506II had a plastic enclosure with two footswitch buttons (program up and down, to cycle through banks), a built in tuner (hey, that’s nice!), and – if I recall correctly – a ton of user programmable capability. Where do you go from a Roadkill when you’re 18 and unwise? Why, you go all in on digital multi-effects, that’s what! That’s right, I pivoted from the Roadkill to a Zoom 506II. Eventually, the footswitch failed on my Roadkill, and I believe I sold it “as-is” at a garage sale for $5. Still, I knew deep down that it sucked, and wanted to upgrade as soon as possible. This was not a good pedal, but it made my bass sound distorted, so I guess it was successful at its job. I had to look the dang thing up, and was surprised to see it was made by ProCo. Nah, I wanted the bass to sound blown out and nasty! When I picked up my first true bass amp, I found that I needed a pedal to get dirty, and the very first pedal I ever picked up was a $19.99 distortion pedal called a Roadkill. I had that little amp with me in my college dorm, and I played bass through it with the distortion dimed, quickly leaving the notion of “piano clean” bass behind in the proverbial dust. In my earlier post on bass amps, I mentioned that my first amp was really a guitar amp, complete with a lead channel and a sweet on-board distortion. But I didn't find the extra controls to be very useful to me at all and the thing was huge.Įither way, I'm pretty sure all the versions are awesome.Alright, we’ve already talked about the bass guitars and bass rigs of supercorrupter, so I suppose that leaves the pedals that have done low-end duty in the band. I got a chance to play a beast once and it's the reason I bought a supercollider. There's also the "71" supercollider, which I believe is a variant of v3. The other guitar player in my band is still using it so I see it all the time. I'm not sure about mids on the other ones, but mine had side jacks and a mids control for sure. I think all the circuits are relatively the same but with those nuances.Īre you sure about that? I had a v1, I remember when v2 came out with the LED option after I owned mine. Earthbound just announced they are going to start making them again. These are in 1590NS enclosures and some have a clipping switch and some don't. THEN there is the Earthbound Audio Beast, which is a Supercollider with 2 additional footswitches that add oscillation. ![]() ![]() When Earthbound Audio switched to Acid Age (before the switched back), they made a 1590b Enclosure Top Jacks No Clipping switch Mids Control sized Supercollider Version 3: 1590BB Enclosure Top Jacks Clipping Switch Mids Control Version 2: 1590BB Enclosure Side Jacks No Clipping Switch Mids Control Untilshewokeme wrote:Version 1: 1590BB Enclosure Side Jacks No Mids Control Clipping Switch (LED or SI)
