Hey Hey!! Excited to be back again today with another unique piece of gear from our friends at Animals Pedal. This one is a little different than our usual effects forte, but I love when a rad bass pedal comes through the shop, and this is a good one. The Surfing Polar Bear Bass Overdrive features just three knobs, but trapped inside is an angry low-end beast waiting to be unleashed on the world…oh, and it has an adorable bear on the front, too.

Based on Animals Pedal’s popular Surfing Bear Overdrive pedal, the Surfing Polar Bear was created to be the best bass overdrive possible, with the help of genius effects designer Björn Juhl from BJFe. In addition to helping create an overdriven sound from classic tube bass amps from the 60s and 70s, modern electric bassists are also playing heavier lines in unison with the rhythm guitars to create massive riffs.
Try the SPBBOD with your fingers and see how it responds dynamically to every note. You can switch from clean to overdrive with your volume knob or your playing strength. Hit it hard and get the OD edge. Play softly and be rewarded with rich almost clean tone. The choice is up to your fingers. It’s not only the rest of the band, but also the sound and feel of the overdrive where you can clearly hear the low end and root notes with a beautiful edge on top of your bass tone that can propel you into the spotlight!
Sometimes, when you’re playing bass on a track, you may feel that the bass sound doesn’t “sit” well within the track, sonically. Especially with songs that are more intense or fierce sounding. That’s where the Surfing Polar Beas Bass Overdrive can really shine. If you want to make a more aggressive tone with your bass, distortion can be extreme like a fuzz – or you can use a more light-gain solution that retains the tone of your bass. Be sure to check out our demo below and snag some wonderful Animals Pedal effects on Amazon – cheers!
