I want to add some life to my sound. Maybe sometype of compression or squeeze pedal?
Is there an essential effect for Country Music?

But really, tone. | yea I mean i can't see myself with this huge pedal board ya know? Country music is what I like to write and deal with.
Are these guys using specific amps to get their tone? I have a decent bass that plays and sounds amazing.
How are they getting that thick rich deep tone?

| | | | I've seen country players use a Fulltone Bass-Drive Mosfet in Comp Cut mode always on to help them get that fat warm tone, but it's definitely not an essential. |

In other words a super-tight clean "modern" voice mixed with a fat wooly "vintage" voice. Plus doubling the signal achieves a big fat sound that's hard to achieve otherwise. |
