The Bass Overdrive covers the same sort of territory, with a bit of a uniquely Line 6 bent. Choose
this distortion for your bass or any other signal and it will immediately become a very close and

include two separate volumes and toggles for accentuating different harmonic voicings. We
weren’t able to make an exact duplicate of some of that complexity when creating the Bronze
Master for GearBox, but you’ll find that this model does give you a luscious palette of super-

and a synth. You can get positively freaky with this one.
