3 Effects/ Pedals That YOU Have to Have

MXR 10 Band EQ
CM Comp Limiter
EHX Bass Mcro Synth

+ TU-2 is a tuner and doesn't count for tone so I'll have that too :D

:bassist:

:hmm: actually guys can't we make this 4?? :D

I use these 3 pedals but I just can't say "no i'll not use my EBS ValveDrive!!!" The EQ and Comp is always on and i use either synth or ValveDrive according to the tune... If we insist on 3 pedals I'll have to pick valvedrive instead of synth.
 
ST-200 Turbo Tuner

Barber Linden EQ

Demeter Compulator


Fantastic stompable strobe tuner that acts as a mute.
Never heard a better sounding EQ... you CANNOT get a bad sound out of this baby.
Compression is a beautiful thing, and there's no better stompbox out there.
 
Tube Zipper huh?

Just watched the EHX video on this and seems pretty interesting. Sounds good for bass?

Tube Zipper is a wierd beast. I played it for about 15 at a local shop today and couldn't quite figure it all out. The dirt capabilities are the truth, but the filter section is noisy and- based on the short time I messed with it- unpredictable.

I left the shop not knowing if I wanted it, but knowing I wanted to spend more time with it. Maybe I just should have let the man who owns it explain better.:hmm:
