Why do I need a dedicated bass pedal instead of a general guitar pedal?

Bass frequencies require more headroom and different impedance matching than guitars, so bass pedals are specifically designed to handle those needs.

What's the difference between a preamp pedal and a distortion pedal for bass?

A preamp pedal focuses on boosting and shaping the signal, while a distortion pedal adds overdrive or fuzz to create a more aggressive sound.

How do I avoid 'mud' when using bass overdrive/distortion pedals?

Careful EQ adjustments are key; reducing low-mid frequencies and boosting higher frequencies can help clarity.
