The Bad Monkey does suck out a little bit of you really deep lows, but it can add a lot of low mids, so it's not as noticeable. The Russian Big Muff has TONS of low end. |

Instead of using them to play your bass with, try using a chord with 1/4" jacks to plug your bass into the the "input" and then another from the "output" to your amplifier. Then if you "stomp" on them they should make funny sounds. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask, I'm here to help. |

OP, Sure, they're useful, but you have to find your use for them. It can be difficult sometimes if you're using them for original tunes, but sometimes necessary when you're looking to cop the sound/tone of cover songs.
Good choice, by the way, as overdrive and fuzz are a couple of the most-used bass effects.

By the way, it would probably be useful to search around here on TB before more shopping. People here can give you some general information and opinions on what you're looking at.
But they're opinions only. Use your ears.

Maybe try before you buy next time?
