Sign in to disble this ad
Hi all,
I'm after a bass multi effects pedal that's not on the overly expensive side of things, say <$300. In particular I want something that has the capability to mix envelope filter and octaver effects together, as well as octaver and chorus. Any suggestions?
Thanks |

I've had mine for 2 years, still running into new sounds!

You would get an ME50B with quite a bit of spare cash if you pick it up 2nd hand.

| | | | What are the Zoom B1x boxes like? Do they have the capability of blending octave and envelope filter together? I'm having trouble finding anything specific about them |

However you can have envelope and pitch shifter that will do an octave down.
The B1 is a pretty nice unit especially for the price but it has limited parameters for control, the B2 offers more control, mix functions and 6 bands of EQ where the B1 only offers 3 bands. |

| | | | Well the envelope and octaver is the deal breaker for what I'm looking for - I want some squelch. If the Zoom boxes offered that, it would be a no brainer. I used to play through a Zoom BFX 708 and loved the sounds that it had as well as the display, it's a shame the cheaper ones don't have a similar functionality to them anymore. |

You can always add a pedal up front of the Zoom which is what I do. |

| | | | Save up a little more and pick up a GT-10B. You can get one used from 300-350, not much competition to the GT-10B out there. |

You could probably get one used at a price that would suit you, but there's no sensitivity setting for the envelope following effects, making them basically useless. |

Edit: Apparently, it's available for purchase in Japan: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/b-drop/item/14851/
