You've got to be A LOT more specific..

What do you want from your sound that you're not already getting?

What enhancements do you want to make through pedals/preamps?

All I will say is buy used. Then you can buy 3 or 4 pedals.

So keying on "funky" I would say:
- Envelope filter, maybe the Source Audio one that also doubles as a phaser? Or get a dependable QTron. You could go whole hog and get the Moogerfooger Low Pass Filter or a Chunk Systems Agent 00Funk.

-Octaver: MXR Bass Octave Deluxe or the EBS OctaBass.

End of story? Methinks not. I've been on the quest for *the* perfect envelope filter for about three years.

I've been on a similar quest since first playing through one ca. 1982. I think I might have found my perfect filter (can't say that it will work for anyone else) in the SoundToys FilterFreak. I just need to work out the computer thing so it doesn't drive me nuts. That and the Echoboy are just crazy!
