collapse expand iconDescription

The Behringer BOD400 bass overdrive pedal brings thick, warm tube overdrive tones to your low end. With the BOD400, bassists can add pleasing grit and distortion without losing bottom end. Its dedicated Balance control lets you blend just the right amount of overdrive with your direct bass tone. This pedal gives you exceptional tone sculpting versatility for the perfect amount of grind or syrupy tube stack drive.

Get Authentic Tube Overdrive Tones Without Losing Low End

The BOD400 gives your bass sound the growl of a tube amp at any volume. Crank up the overdrive for a saturated tube stack tone just before meltdown. Or dial back the overdrive amount to add a pleasing crunch to your bass tone. The pedal's smart design and frequency response ensure you get pleasing overdrive and distortion without your low end dropping out. The BOD400 brings studio-quality overdrive tones to every practice, gig and recording session.

Blend Your Overdriven and Clean Tones

The BOD400's Balance control lets you mix your overdriven tone with the direct clean signal from your bass. This maintains the clarity and punch of your natural bass tone. It also ensures the low B and E notes don't get lost in the distorted mids and highs. You can even blend a subtle amount of overdrive to add pleasing character without an overly distorted sound. Find your ideal blend for any musical situation.

Sculpt Your Sound With the 2-Band EQ

Shape and tweak your overdriven bass tones with the BOD400's intuitive 2-band EQ. Boost or cut lows and highs to perfectly sit in the mix. The EQ gives you the tone shaping tools to stand out in a live band context, direct for recording or get inspiring sounds for bass solo work.

Exactly what I was looking for

I was hesitant on buying a "plastic" pedal. But I was surprised by the weight and sturdiness. And I got EXACTLY the sound I was looking for

    Great pedal for the price. I used mine for a couple years, without any problems, then passed it onto a friend. He also loved it.

  • Great pedal for the money!

    Excellent sounding pedal! I would recommend this pedal for any live stage, but a little noisy for recording. I think a noise reduction pedal in the chain would work fine.

    I purchased this knowing it wouldn't be the greatest, but it is very affordable and it gives me more options for playing with the noise I'm making. I haven't mastered the controls, yet. Some adjustments I make have only a subtle affect on the output, while others frighten pets. Overall I am still pleased with its capabilities.
