Pedal to bring out my slap & pop?

[irock]

Help!!! Which pedal would be better to bring out my slap & pop. BOSS LMB-3 Bass Limiter Enhancer Or BOSS GEB-7 Bass Equalizer. Any other pedal suggestions also. I set up my eq on my bass head to be beefy and a little low endy. But not a full on reggae tone. So when I slap (which is only 15% of a gig) it doesn't cut threw. So i need a pedal that can add what I need to cut threw. My slap technique is fine so I know its not that. Thanks please help

EHX steel leather bass expander. In the demo, all the guy does is play slap. Check it out...

Either of the two you mentioned will do the job, as will the Steel Leather or the older Boss EH-2, which is now discontinued. The two you mentioned will have the enhance/eq boost on all the time when they're on, whereas the steel leather and EH-2 have sensitivity controls so you can it set it so only your harder hit notes get the eq boost.

i used both before ...u can can get some wicked slap tones...but i dont do much slapping anyway

Bear in mind that no pedal will replace good technique and a quality, well setup bass.

That said,...I like my LMB-3 for slap since it helps to squash any peaks should I get a little too aggressive.

Using both in conjunction (if that is what line6bassist means) or any combination of compressor and EQ would be even better.

Just checked the Steel Leather demo. Not digging it cause it changes the tone - auto wah/envelope filter ish. Thanks though

I do not play too much slap, but I have an EBS MultiComp and then a Sansamp BDDI at the front of my signal chain and between the too of those you can get some big slap tones. The EBS is a great transparent compressor and you can boost the gain, and if it is not scooped or overdriven enough for you, you can always kick on the BDDI for a really aggressive slap tone that is still not harsh.

i use my LM-2B (Boss Bass limiter) with the level and threshold at 12'0 clock. I also use my GEB-7 (Boss Bass EQ) with a mild mid-scoop and my Geddy Lee can slap for days with this. Getting a CS-3 tomm (Boss Compressor-Sustainer) so I can further expand the capabilties.

You could always just cut the mids on your amp a bit and/or boost the highs and lows to your liking. There really isn't an instant slap sound effect pedal unless you want to use a modeler which doesn't sound as good as the real deal.
