Overdrive / Fuzz / Distortion / Boost for bass guitar

Bass overdrive, fuzz, distortion and boost effects shape a clean signal from mild grit to pronounced distortion and suit players who want to add energy to their tone. Overdrive is milder, fuzz adds a rougher texture, distortion delivers firmer saturation, while boost mainly raises the signal level. In a band, the effect should keep the low end clear so the song does not lose its foundation. Choose by the type of drive, control range and the way the pedal fits into your rig.
