Animal Factory Amplification Godeater+ Dynamic Bass Distortion

I couldn’t wait to dive into today’s pedal after checking out the Ozymandias Dual Overdrive Distortion last month from Animal Factory Amplification. Swapping guitar for bass today, come along as we take a look at the Godeater+ Dynamic Bass Distortion, an effects unit full of tonal and routing options, big, bold sounds and a unique look and feel. This second pedal in the new Animal Factory lineup is just as impressive as the first, showing you that these guys really know how to make a pedal…

The Godeater+ turns everything you know about bass distortion pedals on it’s head. It builds upon the celebrated sound of its predecessors and expands on it in unlike any other pedal out there. The newest version incorporates years of careful tweaking, user feedback and playing with features by Animal Factory Amplification until they found the perfect mix of things to make the earth shake, heave and breathe. Built like a tank in our custom die-cast aluminium enclosure with a 24V power supply and solid knurled aluminium knobs, this pedal is a beauty at your feet or on your desktop.

Designed for uncompromising bass, the Godeater+ adds weight to just about anything you can throw at it – bass, guitar, synths, drum machines, and even mixes. Improving on the massive saturation of the original pedal, the Godeater+ packs a filter-keyed sidechain, advanced routing possibilities and MIDI integration, allowing you to sculpt your tone with unmatched flexibility. The Animal Factory crew didn’t just stop at the sound, either – built with high-quality parts into a heavy die-cast aluminium enclosure of our own design, this pedal is equally at home at your feet or your desktop.

So much to dive into here – in our demo below, our good friend Bert Handy joins us in the studio to lay down some bass tracks while I twist and turn knobs, push buttons and explore all that the Godeater+ Dynamic Bass Distortion is capable of. I love the distortion here, and the Sidechain Mode add an entirely new element to the sound – we used a Korg Monotribe Analogue Ribbon Station Drum Machine for a good chunk of the video. Be sure to watch the entire thing, as there are many, many ins-and-out to this beautiful bass creation. Head to the Animal Factory website, too, for all the info and to order one of these for your rig – cheers!!
