Bass Synth Pedals?

Loved my Octavius Squeezer - wish I hadn't had to sell it.
Got a NOS Korg G5 at a shop in Abu Dhabi last year for a good price :) Combined with the couple of synth sounds you can get out of the Boss GT-B, I basically have everything I want.
 
All the 'synth' pedals do different things. IMHO it's better to consider them as multis and decide whether you want what they've got. Definitely the best way to approach synth bass sounds is with individual pedals, that way you can get whatever filters, modulation effects, stacked octaves, pitch benders etc. you want.

Boss OC-2 w/ SynthMOD -> Fuzz -> Pigtronix EP-2 Envelope Phaser for me. Slow, slow phaser and slight envelope filter fattens up the sound. Sometimes I throw on my Way Huge Aqua Puss analog delay for a short delay to make the whole set up sound a bit "off".
