Favorite digitech and hardwire pedals

#61
It's sort of a default as a favorite because it is the only one I have, I've had it since new easily 12 years ago, and am just now figuring out how to use it, but I have a Digitech BP-50 multi effects pedal. I like what it does, I hate the interface. It is kind of a pain in the butt to use. But it does have some cool effects...

I agree with this. On guitar, with the switch to "tight," the TL-2 is like a higher quality Metal Zone. On bass, I like putting it to "loose." And I definitely think of it for high-gain metallic sounds, although it can get fuzzy.

When I had this pedal, I use it in loose mode. and at a certain setting along with a chorus effect, I was able to get a peter steele kind of sound. a great pedal to own for those who likes a heavy distortion.

I've recently purchased the hardwire tl-2 once again just to give it another chance and I've actually like this pedal. I wasn't sure about it before, but now that I've bought it again, I really like this pedal. I'm glad that I gave this pedal another chance. yesterday when I was testing out this pedal, I've hooked up my digitech bass driver to the mixer output and I've gotten some incredible results. the mixer output from the bass driver gave the tl-2 a smoother sound. I should also note that the bass driver wasn't engaged. considering that the mixer output on the bass driver has a cab model, it gives it a really nice sound. I know it's usually used for mixing boards, but I do like the sound I get from the mixer output of the pedal and into my amp. I am really amazed by the results I get when I use the tl-2 with the bass driver hooked up to the mixer output. it gave me the sound I was looking for. I like my distortions smooth and heavy and this set-up delivers. these pedal are staying in my pedalboard.

I also purchased the hardwire cr-7 stereo chorus and it is a nice sounding chorus pedal. even though this pedal is made for guitar, it does sound real nice on bass. there are 7 different chorus models. I like the multi-voice chorus model on this pedal. it kinda reminds of the digitech bass multi-chorus(which is my first bass chorus). I also like the vintage model. really lush sounding and excellent for those wanting an 80s chorus sound. this is a great sounding chorus pedal. this too is staying on my pedalboard.

Right now I own a Bass Whammy Reissue. I have a little experience with pitch shifters, this pedal algorithm tracks awesome!
And the Bass Synth Wah!! I really fall in love with this pedal when I bought 7years back. They should reissue this one with blend knob, expression pedal input and maybe some LFO synth.

I already owned and liked: XP-100 Whammy/Wah.
Already owned that didn't liked: Digitech Bass Multi Chorus. Too tiny and digital....

The Bad Monkey is (was) an awesome pedal. Like most of the X-series it is now discontinued, so if you don't have one, get one while you can. They are already selling used for more than they used to retail for.

Some of the x-series are still around. they can be found on amazon and musician's friends. if you ask me, they should continue making them or make new bass pedals.
