Also if you don't have a good tuner pedal I would suggest that first before any other effects pedal. |

Filters are way fun too.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Newcastle, Australia | | Hmm, is that $150 Australian? That limits your choices, you could probably get a digitech bass synth wah, I have one and it's pretty funky  If the prices are really that bad down there you'd probably be better buying online through sites like www.allansmusic.com.au or www.billyhydemusic.com.au. I used to live in a small NSW country town, so I understand the pain of tiny music shops and their grossly inflated prices... |

If you want to bring in the noise: get a fuzz, on a budget the EHX LBM is awesome.
If you want to bring in the funk: envelope envelope envelope... filter that is... EHX Q-trons are awesome... not so much the mini or micro though
