WOW! I went to a store to purchase the Fulltone Bass Driver but it just didn't turn me on like I had hoped for. I told the very helpful guy behinfd the counter that I wasn't really impressed & he recommended that I try the Hematoma. With the clean boost being completely seperate from the overdrive side (meaning one can be used independant from the other, unlike the Fulltone), I became intrigued. We went in the amp room, plugged it in & I was immediately sold. It's very adjustable & sounds, in my opinion, like a fuzzy/OD bass pedal should. I even ran it inline my Sans Amp Bass Driver DI & it still sounded great. It was also cheaper than the Fulltone. FYI, there is also a little 6 or 8 pin chip on the circuit board inside that can be removed & replaced with one that is a bit more hot! Amazing!
I believe this pedal to be a great value. I see all pros, no cons. Good luck.
