Well my boards pretty much complete but I have space for one more pedal and can't figure out what I wanna put on it. Here's what I have so far
Bass ->
Korg DT-10 Tuner
Foxrox Octron Octaver
Lovetone Cheese Source Overdrive/Fuzz
Lovetone Meatball Envelope Filter
Electro-Harmonix USA Bassballs Envelope Follower
Subdecay Quasar Phaser or Electro-Harmonix PolyPhase (still deciding on this one)
Diamond Memory Lane Analog Delay
-> Amp
I'm not a big chorus or tremolo fan. I've had a great flanger (maxon fl-9) and liked it buy couldn't really use it Live. I'm good on OD/Fuzz/Distortion as well.
I've thought about another Filter (yeah i know) but that might be overkill and with the Meatball. Maybe MXR Bass Auto Q or a Q-tron or some sort is what I was thinking? That's really all I can think of though.
Ideas?

Are there any other "it" pedals I'm forgetting? I gave the Prunes and Custard a shot, but it didn't make it. |

I was gonna say a heterodyne frequency shifter, but same idea.
Either that, or find an old Maestro Bass Brassmaster. |

Or maybe a Compressor...I didn't see one of those on the list...

in the meantime feel free to attempt to flare up my hemroids...errhmm i man GAS with some more goodies.
i was thinking one of those frostwave pedals too, resonator or funk-a-duck, but they seem a little to "out there" for me as well. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Dallas, TX | | | Well, a compressor is good, and an envelope phaser was mentioned, but I like the digital delay idea. The Stereo Memoryman has some pretty cool features, like reverse and a short loop, and some crazy modulation, too. I've got the reverse problem, board is loaded, got a few excess pedals that I gotta keep. There's no winning, really. |

Good thought though. |

A compressor might be overkill since he is using an Orange all tube head. With those tubes he is already getting a nice natural compression. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
