Pedals you won't live without.

Ummm as a bare minimum
EHX Bass Balls- dual envelope & fuzz my all time favorite bass defect
Akai Uni Bass - the perfect octave up that I use a lot
Zoom B2.1u- love it or not it does so many tricks and tunes my bass
Electronix Submarine - no matter what Os is up to these days this thing has got the goods for tone, like it so much I have 2
Barber Linden EQ - just got it but it is surely going to be a fave tone machine
Countryman Type 85 DI - not an effect so much but still an industry standard and mine is 'special'
