I've been through quite a few overdrive pedals for bass, both specific Bass effects and guitar effects. The OD-3 is the best I've found yet. It gets a fantastic grainy texture when on full gain, but without ever getting fizzy, farty or thin. As you might expect for a guitar pedal on bass, I wouldn't say it has no low-end loss at all, but if you just dial the tone down slightly and raise the output volume, you'd barely notice. Whether you want a nice textural breakup at low-gain settings, a nice grindy rock tone at mid-gain, or gritty chunky high-gain aggression, the OD-3 can seemingly do it all. Tested with a P bass, Stingray, Warwick Thumb... it just seems unbeatable for my needs. Build quality and QC is of course top notch as you'd expect from Boss (when have you ever heard of a Boss pedal breaking down?) and it's completely insignificant but I love the deep cheddar yellow colour and gold knobs. Absolutely in love with this one! Top recommendation to all the bass players out there.
