Double Bass Must Have Pedals for EUB?

[JBuckley]

I have a Wav 4 that I don't play often, but I'm going to be gigging soon with it in a small roots rock trio. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for pedals I'd need for it. I already have a Boss Bass EQ and Sansamp to take care of tone and boosting the signal to the amp, and I have a phaser and fuzz which I like using for more weird stuff but probably wouldn't for this project. Is there something I'm overlooking?

A basic reverb used lightly helps mine a bit at times.

I’d only use a volume pedal.

Subtle amounts of reverb and delay can add some nice touches in certain situations, especially with arco. I've also used phase and tremelo for experimentation with great results. Not for every application but certainly for fun!

tremelo for experimentation

Something I've still not quite gotten around to testing is using square-wave tremelo for a dubstep effect. Now that dubstep's a fad of the past, you can play it for either irony or retro points

There are three (utility) pedals which I consider "musts" for my pasive NSD NXT EUB:

• preamp with input impedance of 5Mohm or higher,
• high pass filter (HPF), and of course
• tuner

Sometimes, I use a bit of reverb. It's nice to have...but it's not a must...
