Lounsberry pedals RBO-1 Rupert Bass Overdrive Standard

If you're looking for a colossal tone, the LOUNSBERRY PEDALS RBO-1 Rupert Bass Overdrive is a fat sounding tube-like preamp and overdrive for bass guitar.
Greg Lounsberry : "After seeing King Crimson in 1974 (one of the songs from that concert was used on their USA album), the massive overdriven bass tone of John Wetton made a lasting impression. There were discussions with a local bass player who was looking for a “knock your head off” bass drive that was fat as well as overdriven. I thought back to John Wetton’s massive tone, and I realized that the Nigel had most of what was required to achieve this."

Rupert is a multi stage FET preamp with gain staging and Germanium diodes that sounds and plays a lot more like a bass guitar amp than a pedal. It is a very responsive bass overdrive that can go from warm semi-clean tubelike bass tone to ’60’s and ‘70’s fuzz driven crunch. It’s a great bass overdrive for just about any genre.

The amazing thing about the Rupert, is that it provides the dynamic touch response of a vintage tube amplifier. It makes a small bass amp sound massive. It’s like a tiny Concert Arena for your bass guitar.
