Which multi-effect pedal?

Sign in to disble this ad
So I need a multi-effect pedal that is good quality and can do primarily one thing: provide a clean bass signal simultaneously with a distorted one so that it has a distorted sound, but also provides good low end at the same time.

The zoom b2 would be a good choice for what your looking for. the distortion channels has a mix control which allows you the mix the dry signal with the effected signal.

"one thing" does not require a multi-effect.
Lots of OD and Dist pedals do that "one thing" very well.
SansAmp VT Bass, for example.
Or the Behringer BDI-21. All but the hatingest of haters agree that this one's a winner.
Save money and complexity. Keep It Simple Swag

If you really really really want an ME, you left off a ton of ME's that many of us use (BOSS and Digitech, for example)

Well I was going for the Boss LS-2 and OBD-3, but both of those is actually more expensive than any of the multi-effects. So if one of these can do the job of those 2 pedals plus more, I rather have a multi-effect. I hate to be a hater, but I don't know if I can trust Behringer. I have a V-amp pro, and honestly I think it is a POS. Unless they have completely revamped their products, I try to stay away from Behringer since it seems very hit or miss on their products. I also want a smaller one to keep in my room, hence no rack effect.

The reason I picked these is because I only have around 90 to spend.

The Boss ODB-3 has a blend in it already. You can probably get one used here in the classifieds for $40 - $50.

For distortion only, get a Sansamp ODB-3 et rest. If you want to have more fun, get a multi-effect pedal. I've dragged my B2 to many, many gigs and it keeps on ticking.

Sansamp odb-3?...don't you mean the boss odb-3. you're probably thinking about the tech 21 sansamp gt-2 or the tech 21 xxl bass edition distortion pedal.

Yes, I should have placed a comma between...

BTW Zoom B2 has a pretty good Sansamp emulation. Tested it a week ago with a Rush cover band and I got pretty close the Geddy sound.
