New pedal?

christmetal · #1 06-12-2010, 08:01 PM

Hey guys, right now I have a Bodd DD-6, Sansamp Tech 21 Bass Pedal, Behringer Compressor, and a Super Chorus Pedal. What should I maybe look into for a new pedal? Or should I look into upgrading to a better version of these pedals?
Thanks

if your serious about a compressor, go for something other than the behringer. havnt tried it but in my own experience, there pedals are rubbish.

new pedal... well depends on what music you play. maybe a fuzz?? tell us what music you play. that would help

just noticed your in christian praise and worship group. well at the moment, when i play at my church i take my whole board down which is a tuner, distortion, octave, chorus, delay. i dont really use the delay but thats just in my experience. id suggest get an MXR Bass Octave Deluxe which is what i have. they sound fantastic and track really well!

I'd say look into upgrading your current pedals. I play for two different praise teams, and these are all the pedals that I use:

BOSS DS-1 Distortion (currently holding the place of a Malekko B:Assmaster I am getting rehoused)
Demeter Compulator (Excellent transparent compressor)
Ernie Ball Volume Pedal Jr (cello/synth pad volume swells anyone?)
Maxon CS-9 (for adding some extra movement in slow songs)
Hardwire RV-7 (great for slow songs, or in conjunction with the CS-9 to do volume swells)
Tech 21 VT Bass (it's set as my dark tone so that I can leave the amp flat)

However, 9/10 times I'm playing with just the compressor on.

Yea I play in 2 bands at Church and one at school. I use my tech 21 Bass Driver when I play and I only use my delay on pretty much one song. I like the idea of a volume pedal, and I may look into getting a new compressor pedal. One good thing about the Behringer pedal I have now is that it is made out of metal instead of plastic so it holds up better. But thanks for the feedback!

Adding pedals for the sake of having more is just a waste of time and money. If it were me I'd prioritize on upgrading your compressor. Here's a great place to start: http://www.ovnilab.com
