Comments:
Spending time with a pedal like the NG-2 is always fun and exciting. I’m like a kid in a candy store as I carry in the box and zoom around looking for the scissors to cut the tape. Getting over the initial joy of a new pedal is always easier when it’s a loaner, because there isn’t the same kind of personal investment, but there is always a little fear and double checking everything when its rare or pricey (or both).
There are a couple of a cool settings here, but this high gain monster is much better suited to guitar, and for the coin this will cost there are 3-8 pedals you could buy that would succeed in tickling your fuzz itch and fill out the rest of your board too!
The thing looks and feels solid, but isn’t going to win any art and design awards. Pete Cornish designs serious tools for serious people and if you don’t want to pay 600+ for a box decorated with a label maker, so done else will.
Joking aside, I don’t want to suggest that the pedal is without merit, but it’s not something I’d ever use on bass outside of a review like this.
