Bass boost pedals : Whaddya got?

[topo morto]

Have been mucking around a bit with multi-fx... seems that a nice way to get a half decent sound out of a cheap multi-effect is to stick a bass boost after it! What's out there?

Wren & Cuff Phat Phuk
Sansamp BDDI
Sansamp PDDI
Behringer BDDI ripoff

any more?

I love my my Diamond Boost / EQ ... not specifically for bass, just very transparent when the EQ is off, and gives a fuzz pedal some really nice "bite" when the EQ is switched on. Definitely not the least expensive though!

I am currently using an MXR M-108 EQ at the end of the chain to act as a boost.

Not specifically a boost, but I use my VT Bass to that effect, all my other effects run into it. The VT helps to "normalize" the effects, tames the high treble of fuzz and boomy (the bad kind) bass frequencies. Basically I'm using two pre-amps, the VT Bass and the tube pre in my SVT3Pro, to achieve my tone with or without effects before the whole package.

I have been curious to try my Barber Launch Pad with my bass. That pedal sits on my guitar board is fairly transparent in its boosting of the signal. It has no EQ, but can add +20db, 8 more than my EQ pedal. I don't actually have a need for that much volume boost, mind you, but since when did NEED come into play with our purchases?

Tons of pure, clean boost, I love it

Love my EBS MultiDrive used as a dirty boost.

Recently bought a Phat Phuk B, it's also a very nice dirty boost.

I like the Fender Sublime for a big fat low pass type sound......you can mix in more high end with the toe pad. Set the gain low and mess with the filter frequency to taste.

I'm using an EBS Microbass II to boost some lows and highs while cutting some mids, mostly for the rare slap passage. But I could easily use it as a bass boost only, or as a clean boost if I wanted too. Besides that, I use it as a general pre-amp and it is a good back-up DI. I'm still very happy with it!

I use the wren and cuff phat phuk b and love it. Simple with plenty of gain but not an ungodly amount like some boosts. It doesn't go from nothing to blown speakers if you accidentally bump the knob.

heard good things about the mxr micro amp

beano boost, xotic bass boost....

but all i need is my phat phuk B

[Flymo Wang]

I just use the TAFM's "clean" blend alone.
More of a dark blend. Like Team Awesome Coffee Machine.
