Radial Bassbone OD Bass Preamp & Overdrive Pedal

The Radial Bassbone OD is a professional-grade bass preamp and control center built for players who need flexibility, powerful tone shaping, and stage-ready performance in one compact unit. Designed for electric bass, upright bass, and dual-pickup systems, the Bassbone OD combines two fully-equipped input channels with onboard overdrive, effects loop routing, and a built-in DI for serious live and studio applications.

Each channel features its own independent level and EQ controls, allowing you to tailor the sound of two separate instruments or pickup systems with precision. The EQ section is specifically voiced for bass and includes a high-pass filter to tighten excessive low end along with a selectable mid-frequency control for detailed tone sculpting.

Input A includes Radial’s PZB booster for upright basses using piezo pickups, helping produce a more natural and responsive tone. Input B features a Drag Control impedance correction circuit designed to optimize the feel and response of magnetic pickups.

After the input section, both channels can share your pedalboard through the built-in effects loop before feeding the onboard overdrive circuit. Whether you need subtle grit, added punch, or aggressive drive tones, the Bassbone OD delivers musical overdrive while preserving clarity and low-end definition.

A built-in balanced DI output makes direct connection to a PA or recording interface simple, while the headphone output allows for quiet practice sessions when needed.
