Guitar & Bass pedals ok on 1 board?

[CDbassman]

My son plays guitar & bass and wants to put ALL his pedals on a giant board. I'm not sure what to tell him as to the order. Before my next thread which will list all the effects , I thought I'd check with you gearheads! Thanks!

Do guitar pedals work with bass? Can I damage them this way?

Guitar pedals will function with a bass, but the quality of the resulting sound will vary. Experiment! No harm will come of it.

I've found that using a bass overdrive with guitar can produce the perfect SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT tone.

Mixing them up can sound great and can found awful.

Some he may not want to use with one or the other, but he can always leave them off. The problem is lugging around a giant board gets cumbersome, so that's why some of us use separate boards for each. But there's no harm in it, and he'll probably find he likes some of them on both.

A lot of early effects were just... effects... without being specifically crafted for guitar or bass. It's only as the market grew that they got tweaked more and more to be ideal for one or the other (for instance, a lot of standard effects cut a lot of the low end you want on bass).

If he's got the space and the willingness to lug a large board around, go for it.

Probably best to use something like a Boss LS2 to minimize individual signal paths for each instrument.

I have both on my board at home. It's just easier to unplug one instrument and pop in the other. Just remember to switch the amps (if applicable) and turn off the pedals you're not using -- even though I mix-match the pedals between the bass & guitar.

When I leave the house, I take just what I need so I can travel light.

Well here's my question: he

So he's got the following guitar and bass pedals on one board. He's only using them on the correct instruments... what I need is some input (no pun intended) as to the pedal order: 1) boss tuner, 2) crybaby wah, 3) digitech RP50 multi-effects, 4) chorus, 5) Bass envelope filter, 6) loop station, 7) phaser, and 8) reverb. Any time/advice would be much appreciated!

I'd suggest putting the loop station at the end of the chain most times.
