in the hierarchy of bass overdrive, i would list them as such:
1. 200-300 watt tube amp
2. tube overdrive pedal with 12at7's (usually used in SVT series tube amps)
3. tube overdrive pedal with 12ax7's (little more gain)
4. marshall guv'nor overdrive (very smooth, but can sound like a chainsaw missing a lot of teeth)
5. ibanez phat hed (noisey and kinda weird, but big and fat. no loss of low end)
6. sans amp bass driver (versatile with nice option of blending clean and drive, presence knob is key. it never gives you over the top distortion though)
7. DOD overdrive preamp (very wooly and cool sounding, but lacks definition. good with a pick)
8. boss bass overdrive (the metal zone for bass, unless you use the metal zone with bass which is actually cooler. has that blend knob, which helps)

all in my opinion obviously... (also omitting fuzzes) i know a lot of guys like the sans amp very much, and you'll be happy with it if you're set on it, but i would try a lot of different stuff. if you have cash, i would buy a couple, play loud with them and pick one that you like.
