Beginner Doom/Stoner/Sabbath Pedal Board

Been in a Stoner Doom Band Myself for years...

Clean Signal Chain = Bass to Sansamp to DBX to Hartke HA3500 to 4x10 cab (or 2x10 depending on room)

Dirty Signal Weeping Demon Chain = Bass to Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah to Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive to Devi Ever Dark Boost to EHX Bass Big Muff to DBX to Hartke HA3500 to 4x10 cab (or 2x10 depending on room)

i run two heads and two cabs so i NEVER loose my fundamental or note definition...volumes are adjusted for blend from song to song...

I also use a Digitech Chorus, MXR Carbon Copy, as well as a Micro Pog depending on our set
 
Zombie thread, I know, but resurrection is what necromancers do. For a beginner, I’d recommend a Joyo American Sound or California Sound for tube emulation and overdrive, the Joyo dyna comp for nice doomy sustain, and any Fuzz that does a blend of clean and fuzz.

Edit: Oh, and a P bass.
 
I'm into Doom/Stoner/Black Sabbath music...
Do you think a chorus pedal it's needed in that kind of pedalboard?
I'm thinking about adding a phaser to the pedalboard, but I don't know if someday I will maybe sell my chorus pedal (since I will add a phaser to combine with the bass big muff sometimes, and that is one of the purposes of the chorus in my pedalboard).
