    How many Bassists use no pedals?

    I have a Zoom A3 guitar pedal. My pedal has many different effects. What do yo mean by saying patches? My pedal has many locations for effects. I can choose up to 3 different effects per location. I would appreciate someone clarifying your terminology?

    Electric bass guitars that "sound like an upright"

    Double Bass Best portable EUB and Amp with pre-amp/DI and power source for playing in parks

    I have Zoom A3 preprogrammed for EUB with a small amount of reverb. I just press that button and I can start playing after I use the pedal to tune the bass. The pedal goes to that setting automatically after I turn off the tuner.

    Electric bass guitars that "sound like an upright"

    I use a Zoom A3 guitar pedal as a DI/Preamp to enhance and boost the sound of my NS Design EUB and my Kala U-Bass instruments. Is there anyone out there doing the same thing?

    I use a Zoom A3 guitar pedal as a DI or pre-amp for my PJB DOUBLE FOUR AMP. It boosts the volume and enhances and simulates the acoustic bass sound for both my fretless Kala U-Bass and my NS Design EUB.
