troubleshoot this one pedal at a time. Be patient. You'll sort this out.

Make sure you're plugging into the line in and not the line out. Flip the pedals on and off to see if maybe you just forgot to turn them on.
If the bass is the problem, is it an active bass? Check the battery on that too? Does it play with just the bass (no pedals?)
Do the pedals have a bypass? Is it switched on? Cables working?
Beyond troubleshooting for simple errors like that, I won't be of much help, but it sounds to me like something that would happen.

Start by checking volume knobs, then move on to cables. After that, check to make sure power supply is working properly and that all batteries are working. |

As soon as I posted this I looked down and noticed that I had my bass going into the output of the pedals and to the amp through the input. Thanks for everyones help I don't know where my mind was.

So today I bought a MXR Carbon Copy, Ibanez TS-9DX, and just a planet wave tuner and I played with them at guitar center and they worked fine and got home and nothing.. I have an Orange Terror bass head and an Ampeg 410 he. All the cables are working fine I've even done the pedals one by one and nothing. I've tried Bass > Pedal > Input on the front on the amp, Bass > Front input of amp, then out of the "send" >Pedal > "return". The pedals powered by 1spot and batteries. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
