I have 200 bucks to spend at guitar center. I'd really like something that could give me some more versatile sounds, I'm maybe looking for a synth or an envelope filter or maybe another distortion.

my board currently consists of a digitech whammy, a dunlop wah, a big muff pi, and a ibanez pd-7 that I run the muff into for better low end.

the more crushed bones the better

go go go

I don't know if I would really use another gain pedal

I'll keep that in mind and defiantly test it out though

I'm scoping out the site now...

How about a bass trainer/recorder? I bought one recently and not only has it helped me capture and save those moments of brilliance during practice that I'd otherwise lose but it has made me a better player by being able to analyze my sessions.

I'm actualy now thinking of the digitech synth wah.

has plenty of options and I wouldn't really need an expensive dedicated synth and you always need more octaves so I'll probably grab that and maybe a pedal tuner or an octave multiplexer.

I already have a mixer can that can record deece quality sound to my ipod as well

Some form of a Qtron. I'd personally add a DD-7.

Don't waste your money on the BSW, everything you've got is a higher quality to start, so there's no reason to drag your tone down with an awful bypass and hilarious synth sounds. If you want a synth/octave, get a BMS, if you want an envelope filter, get almost anything else.

You want bone crushing? Get a Boss Boss LS-2 and set it up to put the BMP and PD-7 in parallel when you hit it.

That, or, delays are awesome and you should drop an extra $50 and get a Boss RE-20. Helpful hint -- try putting it before the fuzz and abusing the ramping feedback mode (same goes for DD-6).

i'd say go for the BSW i got mine a week back. its awesome! the two envelop filter modes are nice imo the other synth settings i use with my flanger and fuzz and what not for crazy noise
anyway its great to be able to mix your clean signal with the funky filter sounds. in mode 2 you have your clean signal+ an octave low + the funked out part!

More like 800 picks, being around a quarter a piece. Unless they are Ritter picks!

We have fulltone and Zvex pedals in GC's now if you want to check those out. A carbon Copy would also make you very happy.

I hate multieffects. I also own a metronome and play enough with a real drummer that I don't really feel like that would improve me at all.
