Militarie Gun - All Roads Lead To The Gun
Here is a cover of a recent release. This version is the one played during the Audiotree Live, november 8th. It reminds me of Fugazi.
I decided to use this song for a gear test. My goal was to record a saturated bass track without anything else than the Bass POD Pro, which means that I had to deal with the (very few and very basic) embedded overdrive models. I chose the Big Muff model but it’s very limited as there is only one pot to control it ; something like a “less/more” setting. I think it works not so bad, and I could even consider using this tone if I don’t want to carry a pedalboard for a rehersal or something. It would sound the same with a bean Bass POD, which would be a very compact option. If someone is interrested by this kind of exercise, I must add that a Bass POD (Pro or bean) is not the absolute best choice : a POD X3 would have been way more capable in the same context.

Nice! I think the OD worked well. It doesn’t sound a lot like a Big Muff - a lot less extreme - but it sounds good regardless.
I agree, they sound very Fugazi. Especially the vocals.

the effect amount pot was set to about 4/10 here. it can be much more extreme ! but then it sounds less natural IMO, and it’s not very useable in the context of a mix with others instruments.

I think it sounded great at that setting! Actually maybe better than a Muff would have with the same levels for what you were doing with it…
By “less extreme” I meant kind of lacking all the extra harmonics a muff would have mixed in with the OD. I think for that song the POD worked out better than a muff would have. I love the Big Muff but it wouldn’t be my first choice for a pure overdrive/distortion.
(it is my first choice for fuzz though 
)

anyway there is not many choices when you look at saturation models on a 1st-gen Bass POD
