Totally depends on what you have bass / rig wise and what sound you are trying to get.

A lot of people are perfectly happy with bass to amp.

For my personal use, I can not do without some sort of preamp pedal because I don't have a preamp in my bass rig.

However, excluding this the pedal I can do the least without is a synth / envelope filter - because in my band I play a few songs that need something weird and spooky rather than just ordinary bass. Anything else I could fake with just normal bass to amp sound.

But, my band is not your average band, if I were doing straight rock or pop I would have absolutely no use for it.

how do you use vmt deluxe and the vt bass ? Do you use them together? Or one instead of the other ?

Although it isn't sexy, and it is rather subtle, I would say a compressor.

Unlike Yoda, (who has always been categorically “anti-try”) I think messing around with both of these pedals alone or together in either order sounds like a fun afternoon to me. In fact, maybe I’ll put on some more coffee and make that happen.

Dan knows! You can get all kinds of cool sounds by combining preamps and gains.

Hi Justin

Hope you still read this older topic. I was wondering, as the OC-2 is one of your favorite pedals, have you ever A/B'd it with the OC-3?
I'm looking for a new octaver, as I wasn't satisfied with my Octabass. I tried the OC-2 and liked it more and was wondering hows it's compared to its younger brother. (I found no shops around here selling both...)

thx in advance
