Alright peeps,
I've got $200 to spend on some new effects.
I play hard rock/metal mostly and have a TU-2 Tuner and VT Bass pedal running into a GK 700rb-II and an Ampeg 810.
What would be some killer pedals to add on?
Suggestions???? |

I ordered a Sanford and Sonny Bluebeard fuzz that I am anxiously awaiting. Listen to the bassfuzz.com review of it. Envelope filters are fun too. |

Leaves 100 for a chorus or a crazy distortion or something. I dunno I'm not really a pedal guy.
Or some nice level attenuating custom earplugs.

Based on the genre, I'd spring for a Superfuzz variant like the Tentacle Fuzz. But that's mostly because I've never heard one in a Death/Thrash context. |

To stun, not to kill.

About 2:35 into that song. I recorded that dry and then we added a chorus effect from FL Studio on there... what can get me something similar in a pedal? |

Also consider a Rumble/Sub-sonic filter.
Here's one: [sfx]:micro-thumpinator |

But out some funky bass.  
Never personally used an auto-wah, but you get the idea. Try something different.

I laughed pretty hard when I got back to this thread from visiting your Myspace page. Nothing personal. Quote:
