Description:
The Hooker's Green Bass machine has the wide dynamic range of bass tube amps and
is able to pick up subtle expressions while adding some love to the bottom end of your
tone. This pedal can also be used as an overdrive pedal when paired with a guitar.

Bjorn says
Hooker's Green Bass Machine was originally designed to be a bass overdrive pedal but
can function as guitar overdrive pedal as well.
Its wide dynamic range covers the full range of the guitar frequency and creates various
sounds from a clean sound after applying the highest quality compression available to a
thicker medium overdrive sound. It’s highly responsive and its ability to express various
distortions with the guitar’s volume control is beyond many guitar overdrive pedals. Its
response is comparable with One Control Strawberry Red Overdrive and Anodized
Brown Distortion that have the highest response level.
Hooker's Green Bass Machine creates BJF’s “trademark” unique solid dark European
tones when it is used as a guitar overdrive pedal. The frequency range that also
supports multi-string bass is ideal for guitars tuned low as well as seven, eight, and nine-
string modern guitars.
Hooker's Green Bass Machine operates under high voltage when used with up to an
18V adapter. With higher voltage, head room is increased to allow even richer
expression while reducing the gain slightly.
Although it’s most effective for solo bass or guitar, 9V operation might give a stronger
core when used in ensemble or guitar riffs. You can change the voltage according to
your needs.
Hooker's Green Bass Machine is an all-purpose bass machine for any genre of music
after the 1950s. If I had to compare the sound to an artist, I would compare it to
Lemmy's iconic bass sound from Motorhead.
