rack effects

Hope someone can help.

I'm an old hand at the low end of things, but new to the effects world, and my current working situation calls for some sweeting and fattening of my bass presence. We're adding some old skool funk and disco stuff and my mind immediately went to that old Mutron sound. That would be cool to have available, and I tried a Digitech syth wah pedal, but it's pretty lame.

While I'm at it, I'd like to have a nice chorus, some phase maybe, perhaps some nice natural analog synth for solos--who knows what else. I think it's possible to teach old dogs new tricks--I've learned a few lately.

Guitar players have all these nice rack mount gizmos that they can program at home (when they aren't wanking) and control with a nifty little foot pedal with digital displays and lots of cool buttons with LEDs.

Do any of y'all out there know of anything like that for bass?
Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanks, fellow keepers of the bottom end.

 

Thanks for the great advice, guys. I'll look into these things.
