    octave pedal for volume swells?

    not entirely sure what the question is... but the EHX Pog 2 and Hog can do swells.

    YOUR TOP 3 BASS PEDALS...GO!

    play in two very different bands, but.. most used: Fuzzrocious Rat Tail, Boss DD7 delay, Akai headrush. EDIT: My Xotic X blender and Sansamp BDDI are on 100% of the time though... so technically they are being USED more, but in terms of what i'm switching on/off most....... (currently using...

    What pedal(s) are you using for dirt?

    On my live board, a Swollen Pickle for fuzz. Mainly use it for huge swells with delays in my ambient/soundscape band. For distortion I'm using a Fuzzrocious Rat Tail, I've tried my fair share of OD's/distortion, but this one can not be beaten. Use that more in my other rock band, its probably on...

    Where do you put your SansAmp?

    just put it on top of my amp/cab. for me its always worked best at the very end of the chain

    THIS is why every bass player needs a RAT

    Agreed. Doesn't get to flashy, but his rhythmic skill is really great. does plenty of interesting **** in that sense. I reckon the P-bass is pretty key to the tone as well. i have a P, Rat Tail, BDDI and a big ampeg rig and can get pretty damn close to that tone. particularly the imaginary...

    Looking for a good reverb pedal

    not huge on reverb for bass. and i play in an ambient band... but i really like the TC hall of fame. lots of options. there are more extensive ones out there. the guitarist in said band uses the Strymon Blue Sky and i LOVE that pedal. maybe check out that.

    Overdrive without tone loss??

    This. Mine has crapped out on me and is being repaired. Lucky I had my old Boss LS-2 lying around.

    Dirt? Gain? WTH?

    i love effects ALOT. But i rarely find that they solve this particular problem, myself. I usually will try to alter my lines a bit. It doesn't take to much. Also, it depends a lot on what band or genre your playing in.. I play in 2 bands... one is a rock band and the other is experimental. in...

    Why does one need a Tech 21 Sansamp Bass Driver?

    i absolutely love my BDDI. Just gives my tone an awesome presence and adds great clarity for note definition. It also has the ability to make other pedals, mainly dirt pedals, sound better. The thing that sold me on it over the other Sansamp products is the blend function, so you can mix the...

    Some good space pedals?

    agreed. i make alot of 'spacey' sounds with my looper, and a delay. given, i use a bunch of other stuff, but my looper is an essential part of my set up.

    Boss LS-2

    Top right diagram, man. It's a bit of a hassle for pedalboard tidyness using a blender, but imo worth it. Use to use an LS-2, but got an X blender a little while back which is great, cuz you can switch off the blend and still use the effects, which the LS-2 can't.

    bass distortion or OD that retains low end like crazy..

    fulltone OCD is hard to beat for me.

    Big Muff Pi and another question

    i think flea used a boss odb-3 for that song. buy a blend pedal and whatever distortion or fuzz you like. This way, whatever dirt pedal you use, you will retain your low end punch and note definition. I use the Xotic X blender. best blender there is imo.

    (Stacked) Bass fuzz/distortion suggestions...

    i've had this problem a bit. I'm not a big fan of stacking dirt pedz. If I want fuzz, I want fuzz, so I got the most wild one, the Swollen Pickle. Which, IME, does not stack with other pedals well. Stacking overdrive and distortion CAN work though.... My suggestion to you, would be maybe to look...
