Description

Hailing from Japan, Animals Pedals boast some of the quirkiest effects in the business! Featuring custom illustrated graphics and some truly memorable product names, the Animals Pedals range has something for everyone. Better still, Animals Pedals are solidly built using quality components, all the while remaining at a price point that is accessible to the average musician.

The Animals Pedals Surfing Bear Bass Overdrive is inspired by the classic valve bass amps of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Based on Animal Pedals’ popular Surfing Bear Overdrive for guitar, this bass specific version was designed in collaboration with Björn Juhl from BJFe, and is loaded with an array of hard-hitting overdrive tones!

The Surfing Bear Bass responds dynamically to your playing style. Play gently with your fingers and you’ll be rewarded with a rich, almost clean tone. Dig in harder, or with a pick and you’ll get some gritty, bone-rattling break up! The choice is up to you! Controls for Volume, Gain and Tone put a host of tone shaping options at your feet and with true-bypass switching, you can rest easy in the knowledge that your dry signal will not be affected when the pedal is bypassed!

More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.
