Looking for Strange and Unique Pedals

I am noticing many of these pedals are being demo'd by guitar players. I had had difficulty with some guitar geared pedals in the past not fully voicing on the lower frequencies of my bass very well. Do these pedals typically translate well between the two instruments?





these were listed in the first reply and I was mostly seeing guitars :(

Yeah, because the CT5 puts what you play in a buffer and plays it back faster (and faster and backward too) it works remarkably well with bass.

I have a Mini Judder. Works perfectly with bass. I'm sure the Judder does too, aa both essentially just sample & mangle.

You know, I have MS60B and thought the synth patches suck - either that or I can't get a decent synth sound with it. How does the EHX Micro Synth compare with the synth effect on the B3?

The EHX BMS is pure analog goodness and nasty all in one, pair that with some modulation, delay and reverb effects and you can create incredible textures. I use my NYC reissue (24v) all the time in the studio but do not gig it, just too finicky and fragile for me.

I really like the Zoom synth sounds, it just takes a bit of work to get the right touch, I have synth sounds on my B2.1u, B2, B3, MS60B and a B2 used just for synth sounds.

Hands down the weirdest I've seen so far is the vocaloid Korg Miku Stomp. If you don't know what a vocaloid or Hatsune Miku is, there's more info here. (I had to look it up.)

Per the Korg website: Hatsune Miku sings when you play your guitar!



There's a bunch of review vids up on YouTube.

If you truly want strange and unique, this is the very top of the heap.

If you wanted to add the qualifier 'also potentially usable', then I'd say Arcadiator.

Hello all. So after years of not being a pedal user I finally started drinking the kool-aid. I've got my basic sounds covered, or at least I think I do, but I really want to add some strange or unique effects. Have you all got any recommendations?

Korg Miku.



edit: I'm not surprised someone beat me to the punch on this thing, I saw it pop up in another thread and couldn't believe it was real. My video choice is better though. :)
