Boss Bass Guitar Effects

Do i risk damaging an effects pedal by running it through a bass rig?
Yesterday, I probalby foolishly tried out using a Boss MD-2 Mega Distortion through a bass and bass amp. do you think there's a risk of damaging it? When i tried playing it today through my normal guitar rig it sounded a little different, i changed the settings for gain and bottom end when i put it through the bass and havnt put it back to normal yet so that might be why.
your FX peddle doesn't know the difference between a bass and a guitar, it just alters signal to the amp that's it.

Keeley Modded Boss DS-1 Ultra Guitar Effects Pedal $129 The Boss DS-1 has a very heavy metal timbre to start with. Keeley's many modifications take the distortion pedal to a full metal jacket sound.

The Keeley modded DS-1 distortion pedal has a lower noise level than the stock pedal. Metal film and poly capacitors are used in the coupling sections to provide the true midrange and high frequency transparency your guitar tone needs while increasing the bass response. It goes without saying that the note definition has been improved. The final result is an awesome distortion pedal that provides more gain and volume while losing no note definition. Perfect for driving Marshall stacks and other high-powered gear. The DS-1 effect pedal has been modified to have asymmetrical clipping, which gives you second-order harmonic distortion. In addition to lending a very musical sound, the Boss distortion pedal produces an octave-type effect at very high saturation levels.The Boss distortion pedal has been modified to have the Seeing Eye LED. There is an LED located in the "O" of the word Tone. This LED is not just a visual effect. It's part of the circuit that clips the signal and gives it that full, distorted sound. The heavier you play, the brighter the LED illuminates, providing more distortion. The Extra LED increases the volume output of the pedal a bit, great for using the Boss DS-1 as a preamp to push the amp or to fine tune a low distortion sound on the DS-1 pedal.The Boss DS-1 distortion pedal's ultra mode has an even fatter, more robust tone. This is designed to give you the "Wall of Marshall Amplifiers" tone. This is perfect for beefing up a Strat or pushing an amp hard so that you get more natural tube amp distortion.This Boss distortion pedal has a mode switch to dictate the different tones you use. With the switch positioned up, you have the Seeing Eye operation mode. With the DS-1 distortion pedal's switch down you have the Ultra mode. |

Keeley Modded Boss SD-1 Stacked IC's and Clipping Switch Guitar Effects Pedal $135 The Keeley SD-1 has a great tone to start with, but now every component added is of the highest quality. Metal film capacitors are used to provide the smoothest midrange and high frequency components to your tone while increasing the bass response of the effect pedal. Metal film resistors are used in all of Keeley's changes to give the guitar pedal a consistent sound with extremely low-noise. In addition the BOSS switching has been improved making it even closer to true-bypass.Keeley stacks two TI4558P chips for much better distortion, articulation, and transparency, while generating less noise. These two TI chips work in parallel, mounted on top of each other and soldered together.Secondly, the Keeley Modded Boss SD-1 pedal includes a two-way gain switch that lets you select between two different diodes for the clipping/distortion section of the guitar pedal. The "down" position selects a germanium diode. The diode clips the signal more than a standard silicone diode, providing a more saturated, compressed, and smoother sound with more distortion available. The Keeley pedal's "up" position selects an LED for the clipping section, which clips less, allowing a clearer, more "open" sound, with less compression, more dynamic response, and more output available. Both are asymmetrical and both are an attempt to make the pedal more "tube-like," since tubes and transformers rarely produce symmetrical distortion. Some modifications simply take out one of the Keeley SD-1's stock diodes and call that sufficient. Keeley gives you a much wider range of professional tones.All of the stock the Keeley SD-1 Boss wah pedal settings are still possible throughout the midrange of the control. Plus, none of the singing sweet midrange tone is gone. But you will also notice that your Keeley Boss SD-1 pedal has an improved bass response due to careful changes in the pedals design. Again Keeley used metal film caps to ensure the best tone possible.A recommended starting point: All Controls set at 1 O'clock, toggle "down.": good biting drive and gain. Set the Level to 3 O'clock, Drive at 9 O'clock, and toggle switch "up," and the tone anywhere that sounds good to you. This is a good boost and great for distorting the input of a tube amp. Set the Level to 4 O'clock, Drive off, and toggle switch "up." This is an ideal clean boost. Set Drive to 4 O'clock and the Level to 12 O'clock and toggle switch "down." This is a super GE sustain setting. The Keeley Modded Boss SD-1 effect pedal is great for lead work that is very saturated while retaining the essence of your guitar! |

It will just take out really loud sudden peaks, this is great for protecting your speakers and the like. The 12 O'clock position provides the right presence for using the Keeley compressor pedal continuously while performing. The 3 O'clock position is great for solos.
