If You Could Only Have One Pedal

[cdlynch]

Nah, I've never been in much need of dry blend (but I run much lower gain settings than you, too). I would, however, have them make the Octava a parallel circuit like the others, though. I like it by itself, but stacked it adds too much volume to be useful!

I couldn't agree more about the Octava, but I already asked them and they said it's not possible with that circuit board layout. Now that it's discontinued I hope they redesign from the ground up as a fully parallel/serial switchable monster. Modular Triple Snort!

Seems more like a masturbation discourager if you ask me.

I still say it depends on who it's targeting. I'd hate to see such limits on all bass players.

Fair enough. Point granted.

If there was fire and I could either put on a pair of underwear or save my Meatsmoke my neighbors would get an eye full as I ran out of the house.

Hmm... I think I'm glad I don't live next door to you.



Some years ago, Dave Attell had a bit in his standup routine, about "That's what fear looks like: a man running down the street naked. If you leave this club tonight and a see a man run by naked with his... Meatsmoke flapping, you run with that man. 'cause there is some scary sh*t headed your way."

Yeah but, thats a multi effects pedal lol, so i thought it didn't count

 

[mouthmw]

Darkglass VMT to kick in that dirt when I need it.

 

[SGbassist]

For the two things i use it for (Mid Boost / Dirt), ill choose the MXR Bass DI+

 

[zisme]

of the pedals i have, and not counting a tuner:

b:assmaster

but in the future, if i could only have one i'd probably go for a preamp/di or a lighter drive like a bass soul food

The OP did say only one "pedal", which take to mean one physical box, not one effect, so I'm with whoever said get a custom multi-effect built. It would be tough picking just one company, but many of the by-hand guys I like have the three prerequisite dirt pedals (fuzz, Rat, OD) and some form of modulation. COG does a ton of these (COG Effects - Custom Pedals)
