Well, now that I've actually put my stompboxes on a board I might as well post it here... :-)

Chain is:
bass -> Octabass -> MultiComp -> Drive Plus -> Metalizer -> Bass Wah -> Flanger -> Bass Chorus -> Bass Equalizer -> BDDI -> Amp.

The DOD Ice Box will be a gift to a guitarded friend, as I don't really need it... :D

I need some tidying up, and better cables... Hehe.

how's the digital metalizer on bass dude?
 
A "wah" is a variable bandpass filter. Whether it is "auto" depends on whether there's an LFO cycling it up and down non-stop. An envelope filter opens and closes in response to the level of your signal; it may be any sort of high-pass, low-pass, or band-pass filter. "Bottom" and "rocker" don't mean much. So, does the BR2 cycle up and down regardless of your playing, or does it only open/close with each note that you play?



It cycles up and down.

The Fat Boost is in there. I might return it when I get my GT2 back. I'm GASsing for a B:assmaster. I also cleaned the cables up with a PW kit.

Effects side: Loop1: FTBD > Wah
Loop2: Amer. Woman > Whammy
Loop3: GT6B

Dry side: FTFB > EHBM

I'm fairly certain the BR-2 would be classified as an envelope filter.
 
Well, here's what I'm using for the summer. The building I'm in is noisy electically, so the trem is almost useless, and the phaser is hit or miss... Also, I really really wish I had my P-bass out of storage as the bass, amp, and blueberry all roll off the highs (or are bottom heavy) so I'm having some touble taming the mud now and then.

And this is all in storage. Except the machine... its gone to a friend for now.

Better than I thought it would be, kills a bit of your low end, but not too much if you just use it as a lead effect (which it's great for with the one of the digital delay modes on). It's noisy like all other boss distortions/overdrives (main reason I sold my odb-3) which would suck if you plan on using it often.

Oh, and it's fun to play around with... Which is why it's a keeper for me... :-D

edit: Recorded a Invalid Link Removed... Never mind the playing, I havn't slept very well in a couple days (working mornings...). MultiComp->Metalizer->BDDI

Another variation... decided to have a more bread and butter board so took off the things I use the least (noise box and synth, although the noise box will be on my board of wacky sounds when i get around to building it).

I also put a Boss EQ after my Abunai2 to give it some more low end. My od channel consists of my Abunai2 with EQ for grind sounds... Voodoobass on it's own for fat tubey sounds and the 3 together for really heavy, nasty OD.
 
The guy at GC was like "Here! Lemme throw in this plug that will supply power to EIGHT! pedals!" and i'm like "SURE OKAY!!!"


I have no idea what brand :P Surf the GC website i guess.


Btw, I have a colorsound tonebender on the way :]
