Bass Gremlin Overdrive
The Owen Electronics Bass Gremlin Overdrive is a delightfully unruly little box that brings the gritty growl of vintage tube amps to your bass rig. While most overdrive pedals are designed with guitar in mind, the Gremlin is meticulously voiced to coax out the best in your low-end tones. Crank the Gain knob and you'll summon a thick, creamy overdrive that'll fatten up your bass sound without sacrificing punch and definition. The Tone control allows you to sculpt the high-end response, from smooth and warm to biting and aggressive. And the unique Contour knob is a secret weapon, letting you fine-tune the midrange response to sit perfectly in the mix. What really sets the Gremlin apart is its touch sensitivity. Dig in hard, and you'll get a snarling, almost fuzz-like distortion. Lay into the strings more gently, and the overdrive cleans up beautifully, giving you an impressive range of tones at your fingertips. While the Gremlin was designed with bass players in mind, many guitarists have discovered its unique charm. In the hands of Six Feet Under's Jeff Hughell, it provides a deliciously heavy crunch that cuts through the mix. Likewise, the late Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead used the Gremlin to craft his iconic thunderous tone. Whether you're looking to fatten up your bass sound or add some grit to your guitar, the Owen Electronics Bass Gremlin Overdrive is a pedal that deserves a spot on your pedalboard.
