I have several guitar pedals (phaser, flanger, distortion, wah), can these be used with my bass that I just started playing or is there a problem with that?
Guitar pedals will work with a bass, but the sound may or may not be as good as it could be. Some guitar pedals tend to suck a lot of bass out of the signal, or modulation-type effects tend to effect different frequencies causing less than ideal tone in some cases. However, the good news, is that the signal passed from a bass guitar, even with 18V active electronics is not powerful enough to damage any sort of pedal, guitar or bass- so try everything you can.
