GAS-808B Drive
The Rodenberg GAS-808B Drive is a true hidden gem for bassists seeking a powerful yet refined overdrive. Designed and handcrafted in Germany, this pedal takes the legendary 808 overdrive circuit and optimizes it specifically for low-end frequencies, preserving the all-important thump and rumble that electric bass players crave. Two selectable gain modes offer a versatile range of tones. The standard 808B mode delivers a classic, creamy overdrive voice, while the higher-gain 909B mode dials up the saturation for thick, harmonically-rich distortion. A Deep Boost function reinforces the low end without muddying the midrange, giving you the perfect balance of girth and clarity. What really sets the GAS-808B apart is its internal 18V power supply, which provides increased headroom and dynamic response compared to typical 9V pedals. This allows the overdrive to remain articulate and responsive, even when cranked to the max. The stainless steel chassis and laser-engraved graphics exude a premium, handmade aesthetic that matches the pedal's exceptional sonic performance. Whether you're seeking a touch of grit to accentuate your bass lines or a full-on distortion for heavy riffs, the Rodenberg GAS-808B Drive has you covered. Its thoughtful design and versatile tones make it a must-try for any discerning bassist seeking to expand their sonic palette. Pair it with a vintage Fender or modern metal rig - this pedal will find a home in any bass player's signal chain.
