B-TOD - Hi-Gain Bass Tube OverDrive
Crank up the low end and let the B-TOD from Swell Pedals be your new bass-blasting best friend. This compact, American-made overdrive pedal packs a serious punch, blending a powerful tube overdrive circuit with Swell's renowned "SWELL Tone" for bass. The secret sauce is the 12AX7 vacuum tube at the heart of the B-TOD, which provides rich, harmonically-complex overdrive that's perfect for modern rock, metal, and progressive styles. But this isn't your typical one-note fuzz - the intuitive Drive, Blend, Tone, and Level controls let you dial in everything from a warm, vintage-inspired growl to a thunderous, gain-soaked distortion. What really sets the B-TOD apart is its tight, focused low-end response. The SWELL Tone circuit ensures your bass maintains its punch and definition, even when the overdrive is cranked. This makes it an ideal choice for bassists who want thick, articulate tones that cut through the mix. Whether you're laying down thunderous grooves in the studio or laying waste to audiences live, the B-TOD delivers the goods. Its top-mounted jacks, true-bypass switching, and rugged diecast aluminum housing make it a road-worthy tone machine. If you're after a bass overdrive that's as versatile as it is powerful, the B-TOD is well worth checking out.
