One and only one effect pedal

[calebbarton]

EBS ValveDrive. I think I must have listened to 100 or more overdrive/distortion pedals and I was not satisfied with any of them until I landed upon this pedal. I am running a 76 P-bass into a 78 Ampeg SVT with the matching (8x10), and I needed something that would preserve that tone. Works like a charm.

im agreeing with this a lot.

I have to go with my SansAmp BDDI!

 

[Gus Borden]

Tough one - you mean give up my M9?
I'd have to go with the Analog.Man Mini-Chorus (w/deep setting). There are lots of cool effects I'd miss, but the Chorus is the kind of effect that is so useful across styles...

Just one string:

I pick A.

Just one string:

A fine choice. I'll take the C.

 

[colcifer]

either the polytune or the mutron III

 

[Smurf-o-Deth]

If you could have only one leg, which would it be? I'd pick the middle one.

 

[Gus Borden]

you mean my kickstand?

 

[champbassist]

For one single fx pedal, I'd take my CE-5 chorus.

vt bass deluxe i think. maybe. i donno.

EHX Deluxe Memory Man

 

[sillyfabe]

EHX Enigma QBALLS with Moog EP-2 expression pedal (the expression doesn't count as an effect pedal!)

Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.

 

[lowregister]

Electronix Submarine-great pan of tones

 

[BassBrass]

either VT, set darker with more drive than I use now or Blowtorch, but I'd need it in a stand at arm level so I could fiddle with the controls...it does do a decent overdrive as well as it's lovely buzzing lowendkicking blended distortion- which is how I use it now. If a solar EPM blows out the grid, I'll go back to trumpet playing. It's the loudest instrument in the post-blackout world.

 

[Kromwarp]

Hartke Bass Attack, cornerstone to my tone

Just one string:

I pick A.

LOL, I agree completely. But gun to my head I'd probably go with a Bass Microsynth. Otherwise it would be a preamp and I don't really think that counts.

 

[sloasdaylight]

I'd have to go with SansAmp Paradriver DI.

 

[DosiYanarchy]

Colorsound Bass Fuzz. Although I feel i've got a lot of cool stuff on my board at the moment, i'd still take the coloursound if I could only take one pedal to a gig.

Probably even over a tuner (theres always other tuners at gigs, or i can tune up off the guitarists like i used to do before I had a tuner)
