The proverbial hammer is undeniably dropped with the Electronic Audio Experiments Greathammer Bass Overdrive! This pedal, a bass-focused overdrive with plenty of love for one fabled '70s Canadian bass amp and a plethora of player-focused specs to be found along the way, dials in on massive, low-end muscle to break the mold and lay waste to your metaphorical musical foes.

Solid state is the name of the game with the Greathammer. Inspired by legendary 1970s Canadian bass amps, the Greathammer plays with massive amp-style power in the style of the brawny sounds of famous solid states. What this means at the jump is that the Greathammer lives up to its namesake with heavy, punchy tone and playability. Four intuitive dial controls line up with the Greathammer to shape signals and stack up with a formidable force of onboard gain. EAE approximates fifty decibels of gain lay on tap with the Greathammer, meaning this is a pedal for chunky breakups, burly drives, and punishing drops.

The Greathammer goes on with its thunderous, solid state-style character with a robust EQ shaping experience. Onboard, Attack and Bass dials offer close control over pick attack response and post-clipping low-shelf frequencies, respectively. Together, these controls summon a bass drive with incredibly reactive top-end and buckets of low-end boost under 100Hz. These dials align with an accompanying three-way mid-cut toggle that scoops out mid frequencies on a three-way basis – starting at flat and working up. Soft-touch buffered bypass switching and standard nine-volt DC power requirements slip this hammer right into your arsenal as it was always meant to be. The bass may be its forte, but the Greathammer also performs admirably on guitars.
