What would it be?
I'm sorry if this has been done already, I searched and found favorite effect threads but nothing like this.
My only effect would be a Boss Overdrive/Distortion. It blends overdrive and distortion, and has a relatively useful tone control. It is a guitar pedal, so it cuts some bass, but I run it in my effects loop and blend it in so I keep bass and definition.
Let's hear from you guys!

It would be hard to choose between my compressor and my overdrive. In fact, I would like to see something that can do both, like a tube amp but with more direct controls over the compression and the same tone as my Blueberry. Maybe both in the same box with an A/B/blend ? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Southwest Pacific USA | | Other than a little of the soft compressor that's built into my Fishman Plat Pro preamp, I use the Aphex Bass Xciter which I wouldn't part with -- and that I look on more as tone enhancement rather than as a true "effect." Rarely I'll use the Tech 21 Bass Compactor as an additional nudge and it's nice to have on the board. And that's all that's on the board other than a tuner. May have to pick up a Bassbone in the near future though -- just to clutter things up.  Your choices will depend on what music you're playing. Mine's old-school thump/no popping.

| | | | I've played solely with my Meteoro MPX500 for some 5 years (it's an overdrive pedal, with some light preamp and compressor-like usability). Only recently I picked up the effect GAS and got myself a Boss SYB-5 and an EHX BBM. Plus now I have an Ibanez WD7 and some flanger effect (probably Ibanez FL-9) on sights. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
