Hello!
Does anybody have the boss bass overdrive schematics or at least an ideia of it's differences from the guitar overdrive ?
My hobby is to build stompboxes for bass, wich is not the prefered "market slice" for the big companies ....
Thanks for your attention,
Gabriel

A bit OT, but I did not like this pedal. I liked my modded tubescreamer for bass more (comp cut is to die for)

How did you mod it ?
Just increased the in and out capacitors ?

No.

I build a Fulltone Fulldrive 2 (100% tubescreamer clone) and added a fat-tubescreamer mod (http://www.muzique.com/lab/fatt.htm)and added a different clipping diode section.

I am very pleased with the result. I can get distortion from the diodes and some very nice clean boost / OD with the comp cut.
