MXR Bass Octave Deluxe, the Aguilar Octamizer and/or DOD Meatbox clones (the Mantic Hulk, for example) are all good options. Other similar options are COG T-16, Malekko Downer, Broughton Audio Synth Voice Deluxe. I've tried all of this and I prefer T-16. But they all can sounds pretty similar...

I'm using Source Audio Dual Expression and it works well too.

This is one of the best options, if you can make editor work and adjust the sounds to your liking. I had it for years and liked it while the editor worked. At some point I couldn't make editor work anymore either on mac or windows. Lost all my sounds after the update and couldn't set them back...

I've tried probably every synth pedal out there and what I currently use is either synths on HX Stomp or combination of octave/dirt/filter. With some of those dedicated bass synths I was either getting too many tracking issues or not cutting through the mix. If the mix is busy enough, I can't...

I've got one as well. It sounds good in this particular combination. I've tried dr scientist dusk instead of xd and I can see why xd and dubterrenea optimized to work together . On dubterrenea side I prefer only one voice, with two voices there's less clarity to my taste. not digging the octave...

I would say H9 has more effects that you can't do easily with other devices. And you have a good set of factory presets. I was mainly using it to do something unusual, for instance imitate guitar sound. I find that for traditional bass playing it's less useful, as many preset would cut low...

I was not impressed with amp/cab simulation on Line 6 devices either. I think it's a matter of taste. Also it depends which style of music you play. I ended up not using any amp/cab sims and now happy with avalon u5 + power amp + real cab. :)

I have both pedals on my board. I can only say that those are two different things. It's not possible to say which one is better, unless you can explain in more details what is your exact need. I have a feeling that H9 has more original content, however it's much more useful on guitar/synth in...

Wow, thanks a lot! Really nice explanation. Unfortunately we don’t have ring mods in few music shops that we’ve got in here, but I think I’ll get one from thomann with my next order and return it within 30 days if I don’t like it. Pitchfactor is also on my list.

Recently I've started looking into ring mods. And many of them (or their settings) seem too extreme for my taste. YouTube - EHX Ring Thing on bass - I think I would like to get ring mod that would give me something similar to the setting 9 of this video, which starts at 4:20. Synthy, robotic...

I'm interested in that "flying" type of sound. YouTube - Electro-Harmonix Neo Mistress-NAMM 2011 - sound this video starts with. Also would be nice to hear something played with a pick.

I'm wondering if anyone has samples of SA flanger with bass.

Hi! I’m planning to buy one of the pedaltrain pedal boards, because pedal board that I currently have is a mess. One of the main reasons why I’m getting pedaltrain is that you can run all the cables underneath. And now I have to solve powering issue. Currently I use one spot + daisy chain. But...

I'm wondering if anyone can compare Skyline DJ4 and JO4? Both sound good to me, is there any major difference between those two?

Hi there! I'm planning to buy passive jazz bass. I play rock, similar to muse, placebo, coldplay. It's a 3-piece band, but with a lot of dirt pedals, so I need bass that really cuts through. I play alot with the pick and I'm looking for that punchy, growling bass sound. My price range is +/-...
