Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.35% — somewhat different

The Behringer BOD400 is a bass overdrive pedal based on the Boss ODB-3 circuit, designed to add gritty overdrive and distortion to bass guitar without losing low-end definition. A blend control mixes the overdriven signal with the dry bass signal, preserving the fundamental while adding harmonic content. The circuit supports the full frequency range of four, five, and six-string basses. It delivers warm tube-like saturation at low gain settings and more aggressive distortion at higher settings. Built as a budget alternative to the ODB-3, the BOD400 covers rock, metal, and alternative bass tones where grit and growl are needed without overwhelming fundamental clarity.
The MXR M287 Sub Octave Bass Fuzz combines the Growl section from MXR's Bass Octave Deluxe with an earth-shaking fuzz circuit, blending three separate signals, dry, fuzz, and sub-octave, with a 3-band EQ for precise tone shaping. The fuzz section itself offers two switchable voices (warm and compressed, or bright and aggressive) plus a Mid Level control for boosting midrange presence, giving bass players deep control over how the octave and fuzz elements combine in the final mix.
