DigiTech� X-Series� Bass Driver�

Written By: Justin Tripp

The first thing I think of whenever I hear distortion is that raw rock sound, usually a guitar palm-muting away at some thick power chords or someone squeezing out a ear-ringing solo. It seems like in the here and now, distortion and electric guitars practically go hand in hand, creating a sound that can range from ethereal to ruthless, from clean soft rock solo to mosh pit chugging riff. If you listen closer, through all the static and wall of sound, you can hear the low pounding notes of the bass keeping the rhythm alive while the wailing guitarist takes the limelight of center stage.

The bass guitar has never had many effects options; however, we've seen more recently as the advancement of musical technology is breaking the uniform rules of instruments. One of the most common effects now for the bass, is in fact, distortion. Just crank up some Motorhead or Nine Inch Nails, and you quickly get the feel. Distortion for bass is a controversial subject given that the frequency of the notes of the bass are more felt than heard. However, I believe this effect can be one of the edgier sounds to come forth from your bass cabinet. For this review, that distortion sound was attained through a nice little maroon pedal I just received from DigiTech�. This pedal from their X Series� is called the Bass Driver.
