From the maker:

Just like its brother, MessDrive Hybrid+ is also designed for bass guitars, it is not just another fuzz pedal with bass modifications. It started as a “MessDrive on steroids” project, but morph into something totally different. It is not a MessDrive with gain control, in fact, the only thing that is similliar betwen those two are that they are both fuzz pedals and have metal enclosure. With the vintage-modern toggle, gain and tone controls, it is possible for every bassist to find her/his signature sound. Posibilities are endless! If you enjoy the thick fuzzy bass, this one will stay on your board forever!

Bass Fuzz effects pedal

  • Volume, tone and mess (gain) controls as well as the channel toggle
  • Two gain modes: Vintage (less clarity more control) and Modern (fat and fuzzy)
  • Operated with a 9V Battery (included) or a 9Vdc stompbox power supply
  • Reliable and sturdy full metal construction with orange color
  • Heavy duty true bypass switch
  • Ultra bright status led
  • 1/4″ female output, 1/4″ female input jack (Input jack acts as a on-off switch)
  • Input transformer allows it to be compatible with both active and passive basses
  • Output buffer at the end of circuit helps to preserve the overdrived bass tone
