Have been mucking around a bit with multi-fx... seems that a nice way to get a half decent sound out of a cheap multi-effect is to stick a bass boost after it! What's out there?
Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk
Sansamp BDDI
Sansamp PDDI
Behringer BDDI ripoff
any more? |

Definitely not the least expensive though! Diamond Guitar Pedals

The VT helps to "normalize" the effects, tames the high treble of fuzz and boomy (the bad kind) bass frequencies. Basically I'm using two pre-amps, the VT Bass and the tube pre in my SVT3Pro, to achieve my tone with or without effects before the whole package.

Endorsing Artist: Cave Passive Pedals | | Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Ohio | | I have been curious to try my Barber Launch Pad with my bass. That pedal sits on my guitar board is fairly transparent in its boosting of the signal. It has no EQ, but can add +20db, 8 more than my EQ pedal. I don't actually have a need for that much volume boost, mind you, but since when did NEED come into play with our purchases?

Recently bought a Phat Phuk B, it's also a very nice dirty boost.

|  | Registered User | | | | | I like the Fender Sublime for a big fat low pass type sound......you can mix in more high end with the toe pad. Set the gain low and mess with the filter frequency to taste.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Belgium | | | I'm using an EBS Microbass II to boost some lows and highs while cutting some mids, mostly for the rare slap passage. But I could easily use it as a bass boost only, or as a clean boost if I wanted too. Besides that, I use it as a general pre-amp and it is a good back-up DI. I'm still very happy with it! |

|  | GO VEGAN! | | Join Date: May 2008 Location: Charlotte, NC | | | I use the wren and cuff phat phuk b and love it. Simple with plenty of gain but not an ungodly amount like some boosts. It doesn't go from nothing to blown speakers if you accidentally bump the knob. |

More of a dark blend. Like Team Awesome Coffee Machine.
