The Electronic Audio Experiments Greathammer is a bass overdrive and drive pedal from EAE, handmade in Portland, Oregon, designed to deliver heavy overdrive character for electric bass while preserving the low-end fundamental through careful circuit voicing. Like other EAE products, it is positioned for players who want boutique quality and distinct character in their bass drive rather than a conventional budget-priced alternative. The Greathammer delivers the low-frequency extension and harmonic density that bass-specific drive pedals require, and reflects the EAE design philosophy of characterful, boutique-quality instruments.
The Fender Trapper is a bass distortion pedal from Fender designed for electric bass, delivering high-gain distortion with a parallel clean blend control that maintains the bass guitar fundamental while layering the distorted signal on top. The clean blend architecture is particularly important for bass distortion, where maintaining the low-frequency fundamental is critical for a usable bass tone in a band mix. The Trapper provides the heavy distortion character needed for metal, doom, and heavy rock bass parts while the blend control ensures the clean bass foundation supports the rest of the band.
