EBS MetalDrive Bass Distortion Pedal

The EBS MetalDrive is a bass distortion pedal designed to deliver aggressive drive tones while keeping the low-end response solid and defined. Built specifically for bass, it provides the heavier side of the EBS drive lineup, making it suitable for rock, metal, punk, and any style that needs a more powerful and saturated bass sound.

Unlike general guitar distortion pedals that can thin out the low frequencies, the MetalDrive is voiced to preserve bass presence and punch. It can produce everything from a tight overdrive-like grit to a full, heavy distortion with strong attack and sustain. The result is a sound that stays clear in the mix while still adding enough gain and edge for modern heavy music.

The control layout is simple and practical, allowing quick adjustment of gain level, output, and tonal character. Whether used as a main distorted bass tone or as a heavier section effect, the EBS MetalDrive gives bassists a direct way to add weight, aggression, and harmonic richness without losing the instrument’s fundamental power.
