Picking pedals

[mexMan]

I'm designing a bass pedalboards, I just want to know the best choices for what I want to use, the setup I want to run is:

Reverb - Chorus - Echo - Compressor - Delay - EQ - Preamp - Tuner - Flanger - Loop station - Volume

Fully analog, and run it trough a looper, my other idea is running:

Reverb - Compressor - EQ - MiniPod (digital effects, loop and tuner) - Volume

And connect it to a Preamp... as the name says it, before the amp...

Which setup do you think would be better, and which pedals could I use? Thanks!

Well, we have thousands of threads about all of those, so you have a lot of reading to do, and no you cannot expect to be spoon fed.

The other thing to know is that each of those can have a price tag anywhere from $30 to $500. A typical "very good pedal" price is around $200. So you'll need to decide your budget.

Pedals are all about preference. Some people like some pedals, some people like others. Its all about how YOU want your sound to sound like. Pedals also differ for different genres. So play around with some pedals, do some research, have fun with it man. All we can do is give you reccomendations

You're not going to run any dirt?? Follow the suggestions of the guys above: start researching. There's thousands of hours of info on TB alone. Maybe check out the following makers though for I feel they've done a fine job and designing and making pedals:

Darkglass
TC electronics
Tech 21
Earthquakerdevices
Zoom (they make some really great multi effects units for bass right now, killer!!)
Dunlop
Fulltone
Boss does in fact make some pretty decent stuff believe it or not.
Iron ether
Homebrew electronics

The list can go on ad infinity. Seek search and find, they are out there. It's amazing what I've learned in the last year alone about bass gear from TB. My pocketbook doesn't thank me but my passion does.

No dirt, I'm not against disortion, but I prefer the clean basslines, that''s why I'm going only with compression, no overdrive or disort.

I'm going to have then to start researching on that, I might go with the fully analog setup, not a fan of the digital effects. Thanks guys
