BYOC Pedals

[Woodsbass]

I'm looking to start building pedals, and the BYOC kits seemed like a good place to get my feet wet, so my question is: Which ones sound good on bass? I don't want to build an OD/Distortion/Fuzz, what are my options? Any experience using these??

They have delay, chorus, etc., but they are not effects to get your feet wet on, even after the confidence booster.
They have a buy 3, get 1 free sale ongoing.
I'd suggest the booster, dirt pedal, chorus, and phaser, building them in that order.

I'm not worried about the difficulty of the soldering, I'm taking Electronics Engineering Technology, so I know how to build circuits. Do these pedals sound good on bass though?

They will sound good if you put a larger input cap on them. Just check out the instructions or the byoc forum for more info. I have a non modded flanger that sounds great on bass.

As deep said, check the forum and info with the project or mods. I mentioned easier projects b/c you said to wanted to get your feet wet. If you know what you're doing, get a muff or chorus.
Check out freestompboxes and diystompboxes.

I built the envelope filter (dod 440 clone) with the included bass mod, and it sounded great. Easy build, easy to zero in the sweet spot for my bass. It has a very mid-heavy wah-like tone to it.
