I was wondering if anybody here uses effects when they are playing slap bass. I would imagine that most pedals, like distortions and overdrives, cannot really handle slap, but are there any pedals that you think sound good with slap?

Envelope Filter
Gated Fuzz can add some nice dirt to your slap
Chorus can make it space-ish+Delay |

- Compressor to take out the peaks
- BDDI to adjust your tone and possibly add a little drive if that's your thing
Personally, I don't like distortion with slap, but if you like it, you can consider an EHX Enigma: Q Balls. |

Is the EHX Micro Q-Tron any good with slap? And how does the bass Microsynth sound with slap?

i have one myself and can't get it to sound that good.
I use it in band pass because I have a line selector to help fill out whatever low-end gets lost and then I usually have the Q at like 2 o'clock and the drive at 4 o'clock

| | | | i get a demon slap sound from running my jazz into an xotic BB with treble cranked and a teeny bit of gain, then its just a case of dialling in a bit of compression on my trace head.
