Pedal Suggestions

[Mikek24]

Hey guys I recently got a "Black Coffee" distortion pedal. It doesnt really sound to good with my bass, I can rock with it on guitar but I'm looking for a funky really cool sounding pedal for my bass. Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated!

Are you looking for a bass distortion pedal? If so you're in luck--there are approximately ten bazillion of them to choose from. What kind of sound are you looking for?

Hahaha im new to the pedal game so i dont know any specific brands or kinds... The sound im looking for like a funky wah wah sound... kinda like this I dont know if thats just the bass or some thing else.

Well if all you've got is "Black Coffee" then you need some "Invalid Link Removed"

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] or take it to the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]... [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

And if the Cream doesn't sweeten your tone enough for you, try adding some [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]...

So far as the clip you posted goes...
Filter (likely the Q-Tron) and I'm guessin' with some light OD in that clip.

Malekko B:ASSMASTER is awesome, but you'd do well to check out the GK Rails pedal and some Mutron Clones, too, if you're looking for funky stuff.

Phaser and Flanger are fun on bass, especially when paired with distortion or fuzz...

Dip a toe in the water, but beware, the pool is deep and the undertow could suck you down deep ...

Envelope filter, yes. Tons of those, too. I've used the MXR M82, the Source Audio bass envelope filter pro, Digitech bass synth wah and now the Source Audio Manta. Some are one-trick ponies like the MXR. Others are incredibly versatile like the synth wah and the Manta.

Alrighty.... All of these look like some really good things and exactly up my alley. Now, i begin the process of saving up my money and finding a good price! But that that MXR M82 had me. Same with the cream and brown sugar! Do you guys know any good websites that i can get a good deal onthis stuff or will i only find good quality with a good amount of money?

Shameless plug: I used Source Audio stuff to get the sound on the title track of my new album, Move On. Dig it.
