Ampeg Scrambler Bass Overdrive

I introduce myself first:
I'm an Ampeg guy: I owned ampeg products from SVT2-PRO to 410HLF cabs. This Pedal is good to add some "Ampegness" to your sound. It's not a very powerful overdrive, however you can definitely get a strong overdrive. But what it does for me is giving me the grit of a almost-saturated final stage, without using a tube amp. I am currently using it with the Ampeg Micro VR, and I got to say, together they really rock. You get the tube warmth and harmonics without having a tube amp.
I think for the money, it is a very good value pedal.
Only cons:
- I don't like the volume knob, it's a pain to setup and change all the time
- You don't get a super-powerful distortion, but again, it is not what it's made for.
Overall , very happy

I got this pedal for rehearshals and of course gigs which require that kind of sound. I didn't want to pay a fortune, so that pedal was a solid option. First of all, I have to say that the finish and the design on this pedal is amazing. The knobs feel incredible and they are easy to handle.On the other hand I am a bit disappointed by the fact that it has a volume knob which can actually be annoying if you haven't set up the pedal before the gig, because it can increase the volume of the overall set-up massively and cause feedback. I found out that it hasn't have that much of a response at high volume and the overdriven signal can get lost. In general, the pedal is a solid option to experiment as it features a large amount of options to play with, from light overdrive to distortion, with the second one requiring a more heavy approach on the string plucking to get the rasp

I?ve used a lot of ampeg equipment over the years and i gotta say this pedal is one of the best products they have!

I use this pedal for live shows and recording sessions and it has been solid as hell!
I use it with an Hiwatt custom 200 and Trace elliot amps.

You can get a lot of cool tones from this little pedal.

It can go from a very agressive overdrive kinda feels like a valve distortion amp to a very calm warm tone that can stand out really well in a mix.

Pros:
Lightweight and small
Monster sound
affordable

Cons:
I cant find cons about since i love it so much!
