I'm actually using a DS-1 with my bass at the moment, but I'm scared incase I blow a speaker. So I thought I'd maybe see about getting a dedicated bass distortion. But I'd also like to know about compression and bass distortion, like would using a compressor with distortion avoid blowing a speaker?

And what pedals did you try Marty?

i've got the ODB-3. they're alright but i never use it much. it's got too dry a sound. if i was getting some distortion on the go, i'd get a big muff. paul needles plays everything through one and it sounds really meaty. worth the expense. another problem with the ODB-3 is the amount of battery power it drains. you'd not believe it!
