I'm looking for a new pedal

[BassPlayer3187]

I'm in a psychedelic/experimental rock band which incorporates a lot of spacey parts within our music. As of now I have the digi-tech Bass Synth Wah. I love it because of the range of tones and noises it can make. However there are a lot of useless effects in there as well. I'm looking to add another pedal, most likely another synth or chorus is what I'm leaning towards right now.

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on either of these 2 types of pedals (synth & chorus), or also any suggestions as to any type of pedal I might find interesting and useful for this. Thanks all

Search, it's all been covered a thousand times. I'm not a search nazi, ask anyone, but seriously, one very common question, hundreds of pages of answers.

If you're looking for a good chorus pedal, go for the danelectro fab chorus. it's got a super lush sound and it costs 15 dollars. or if you have the cash for it, go for the electro-harmonix clone theory chorus pedal. this chorus pedal works well on guitar and bass.

Maybe an EHX Small Stone.

Or a Boss Space Echo, delays are great for that kinda shiz.

When I think spacey I think delay. Lots of great delay pedals out there, and even some neato threads on such things. I like the Malekko Echos the best, but it depends on your budget and needs, or if you even want delay at all.

Chorus is a pretty cheesy effect imho and is only best used lightly.

Delay pedal is what you need! Delay + synth == spacey goodness.

I've never heard it used well, only on cheesy ballads and wankfest fretless "solos" '

But IMHO, YMMV, etc.

The chorus is not the problem, the ballads and wankfests are.

+1

I'd say that the Small Clone is a great pedal for the money. Just don't go for a nano clone.
Phaser/Flanger might also be useful to you, especially the more wacky ones that can get laser gun and spaceship noises going.
I've gotta +1 to delay as well.
If you want to step up from the BSW, an EHX Bass Micro Synth might be in order. Other than that, you're looking at more of the same type as the BSW (BOSS SYB-3/SYB-5, Ibanez SB-7, Behringer clones) or more expensive than the BMS (Korg G5, Deep Impact, Octavius Squeezer, BOSS V-Bass series, etc.).

Oh so very true!

Get a Boss DD-3. Delay, yummy.

[dannybuoy]

A bit on the expensive side maybe, but I've just got the Option 5 Destination Rotation Single rotating speaker sim and it sounds incredible on bass. Better than any chorus/phaser that I've tried. With an MXR Carbon Copy analog delay, I'm sorted for psychedelia!

[cheapbasslovin]

Hey now, I'm not a big fan of chorus but don't be doggin' on the wankfest!!!

I'd hardly be playin' bass were it not for the wankfest!

I say a Boss PS-3.

I agree re: Delay, but, also, I recommend Tremolo.
The pulsing sound of anything you put before it can be pretty cool.
I've been using a Guyatone Flip VT-X tube tremolo pedal.
