EBS Metal Drive High Gain Bass Distortion Overdrive Pedal Review

For many, many years I've been using an old ProCo "Rat" distortion device - which was really made for guitar - for bass distortion. It's a good device, but it does suck a lot of low end out of the signal. Not a problem in recording, or if one always has it on, but difficult to switch in and out without changing amp settings. In my current band, I want to be able to cut the distortion in and out in the middle of a song, so I was looking for a technical solution.

I love my EBS bass amp, so based on that and the reputation of their stomp boxes in general, I ordered the Metal Drive unit, without ever having tested it in a store. It's not cheap, but it's very good. Lots of good bass energy under the distortion/sustain. For a while, I rehearsed with both the Metal Drive and the Rat in the signal chain, to A/B them, but ultimately put the Rat away.

Like all EBS gear, it's very solidly built.

I only give it 4 stars out of 5 because even though it has 3 modes and 2 controls, it seems like the filter circuit that emphasizes the bass and rolls off the high frequency partials is always in effect, so you *can't* get a really exaggerated lead-guitar-like sound out of it, the way you can with simpler pedals like the Rat. I'd rather have that bottom-preservation circuit permanently on than not have it at all, but it would be really nice if it could be disabled as well.
