Modulation pedals

I love the Anadime Bass too, it could honestly use a separate direct line or blend for more control, but the quality of the depth gets me every time. I'm now on my second one. If you hunt around, they can be had for under 170
 
Chorus: If you want that 1980s chorus sound on the cheap and can handle it being a little noisy, the EHX Bass Clone gets the job done. I’ve switched to the Walrus Julia, though, just a much better all-around chorus.

Delay: I use a Boss DD3 delay. Gets the job done but I’m not a heavy user of delay. If I were, I’d probably get a DD7 or a DD200

Flanger: Go find an old Boss BF2. Do NOT get a BF3.

Phaser: I just use an MXR Phase 90. Does suck out some low end, though, so if you’re worried about that there are likely better options.

Reverb: On bass? Just turn it up louder and let the room handle that. :roflmao:
 
I'm getting my needs met with my Zoom MS60B, MS70cdr or B3 pedals plus a TC 3rd Dimension for extra mileage. The Zooms have a mix of classic and wild effects that cover my needs for bass, guitar & synth. My only other delay is a Sushi Box FX Echosaurus Multi-head delay that gives all the fun sounds of an analog tape or drum delay without the mess.

The Zoom Multistomp series pedals are little marvels. The 70CDR in particular will go down as a classic, for sure.
