I've run into a roadblock all of its own...my Church's youth praise band does not have a guitar amp (been wondering why I couldn't get overdrive), but a guitar cabinet head slapped onto half a bass cab. And of course...I play guitar (rhythm).

But with that...I was wondering, how would a distortion pedal such as a Digitech Grunge/Death Metal/etc. sound on a bass amp while playing guitar?

People do it all the time on a Bassman. It'll work just fine.

I've tried it before and it works, but it has a muffled quality to it. Not enough that everyone else will notice, but being the player using the amp it will probably stand out. I suggest trying it and adjusting your tone controls until you get the sound you like best. I once hooked my Strat into my Peavy bass amp and it didn't sound too bad.
