There are so many good bass dirt pedals. Are you looking for something open sounding with low end retention or something squashed?

Subdecay noise box running in to your other stuff? Wait and see if the buzz box reissue isn't going to be too pricey?

Crazy? Fuzzhugger Thujone Extract: lazer-y oscillations with crazy atonal blips and squornks thrown in. Has to be at the very front of yr chain, though - otherwise it won't squeal nearly as well.

Also that mantic Flex or Vitriol would be worth checking out :idk:

Honestly, if it kept the low end together whilst being totally insane, that'd be some holy grail shit.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Played a new song live recently that has a pretty serious noise break (vaguely You Made Me Realise), and I found myself lacking in the make-your-ears-hurt department. We are only a two piece so I try to push the envelope a lot.

Add a feedback loop and a looper to your current set up? That could definitely bring in lots of weird noise. Also the Great Destroyer is awesome for this. I might need to put mine back on my board

Are these built to order? I kinda want to check one out!

A few suggestions:
88: Super Oscillo Fuzz is also a good one for self oscillating fuzz that works with bass, also Fat Fuzz Factory. Co-pilot Orbit does fuzzy and weird. LAL Tone Axe is freaky but it does lose lows a little bit. It is a little bit on the funky side due to the way the envelope affects the intermodulation but everyone should try a Prunes and Custard at least once in their life!

Yeah, made to order. I have a crappy "demo" that I put up on youtoob. I'd add the link, but I'm posting from my phone - I'm guessing that if you search YT for "Thujone Extract," it'll come up. I did post it over in the FuzzHugger forum. Definitely some crazy sounds in there - I had Tom build mine with a momentary switch, but I know he'd build it with a momentary switch if you preferred. I think either Eivind August or Ugly Casanova has one, too.

Algal bloom v2 gets real ugly. The starve function makes for some crazy noise. Also, the eau Claire thunder is probably the best bass distortion/fuzz/muff/feed backer I've heard in a while. Just traded my Bluebeard for one and I am not disappointed

We Norwegians all look the same to you, eh? :lol: I have one, and also made a crappy demo. My main fuzz, so much greatness in there.

I feel like my Bass-Drive can get you the chaos you want and it retains much of the low end. The stackable boost channel takes pedal to a realm of feedback, saturation and woof/howl that I never thought possible.
