Best Pedal(s) Purchase You Ever Made?

#41
Sansamp (I stupidly returned it)
and a Mesa V-1 Bottle Rocket I was looking foward to till USPS never sent it to my house and then shipped it to my dads in D.C. (all the way on the otherside of the US...). Now I dont know if I will ever get that pedal, I do know for a fact that it loves p-basses thanks to Rob from Life of Agony.

I don't know if it would be classed as a pedal, but my Lines 6 bass pod Xt is awesome! It has allowed me to open up my playing like no other purchase! If we are talking single pedals, then it is my Ibanez PD7 distortion/ overdrive, that pedal is sick!

a used wooley mammoth. I pretty much never leave home without it. My FX25 is pretty high up there, and my blueberry is tough to ignore, but the mammoth is usually going to be what I pick up if I need one pedal to jam with.

The Fulltone Clyde Deluxe. While I now think that I really want the Dunlop 105Q bass wah sound too, this is far more versatile. This is because I'm also a guitarist, and there is no other wah that comes close to sounding as good. This one just feels right.

After that, the Q-Tron. That gets points off, because it broke. Since then, it hasn't sounded right. I'm definitely going to try the XO Q-Tron and the XO Q-Tron+, in the hopes that they'll improve upon the initial greatness of the original.

I fully recommend the Q-tron+. Lots of different sounds all vey funky and tasty. And the effects loop is awesome! Stick a fuzz in there.

Electro Harmonix Bass Microsynth - it's a little expensive ($250-275), but a cool range of sounds, unfortunately it's a pretty "dirty" pedal, so don't expect to get much sound out of it that isn't fuzzy. It's also hard to get the sliders in the same position all the time, so using it live/on the fly can be a challenge to dial in exactly what you want. Really fun to play with though.
