Distorted bass guitars = the sex.

sean:
I still need good bass distortion, especially since I'm gonna have to take some of the heavy rhythm parts in my 3 man post rock band. It's rather anoying that most bass distortions are actually just fuzz.

Fuck it Big Mufffffffffffffff

sean:
this is a course of action i should probably take.

Is it even a guitar? It sounds to me like synth.

billiumbean:
Since I've grown accustomed to the pedals I own and what they can do, now I'm in that faze where I just want to make the pedals sound as far from their intended sound as possible.

The results are usually bad, I'll admit.  And not the "whales screeching in an ocean made out of nebulae" kind of bad, but the "whales vomiting up bigger whales" kind of bad.

However, I have found out that a Big Muff run through a mediocre/beginner's amps drive channel sounds pretty cool.  The fuzziness seems smoother, but the attack of the pick is really loud and crackly.  It's bitchin' for solos, but strumming more than one string usually takes whatever sound you were trying to make and turns it into a crackly stampede of crackles.

Who else has a weird pedal arrangement technique?
