Sick of the normal pedals

I like the bit crusher effects. My Zoom B3 has a couple bit crusher effects, i can do some sweet bass lines that sound like they're from old video games. I've actually got a riff that kind of sounds like it could belong in mega man when i use it :D

Other than that though, I just have experience with OD, fuzz, chorus, dist, etc... i know what you mean, i wish there was more variety. But then again, that's the beauty of mixing and matching pedals to come up with a badass unique sound
 
Regarding multieffects, they can definitely be used to get unexpected places... but require a bit of thought at times. I think that's why something which is weird out of the box, and which just has to be plugged in and used as is, has so much appeal.

I do love watching vids for things like the Line 6 M series, the Zoom G3/B3, as well as the EHX Effectology series, to see some of the more extreme uses to which they get put. Taking those ideas, and applying them to what I have, has gotten me a lot of places which might at first glance seem impossible with what I have on the board at the moment.

Big "plus one":-)

I can do crazy stuff with my Line 6 m9...and they have even created a few new and unique effects that are really over the top... in a good way.
 
Huh, INDEED.

OP: "Gimme a list of weird cool stuff and take all the fun of research and finding them OUT OF THE EQUATION. I WANT COOL TOANZ AND I WANT THEM NAO."

Seriously man, THE INTERNET EXISTS.

Hey man this thread is a year old, I didn't know a lot about pedals then or where to look for them, I'd only been playing bass for 3 years and using a pedal or 2 for half a year when I posted the thread.

Well, you know, it's quite possible to not respond to or even read a thread you're not interested in. Let those who want to discuss or help do so, and just skip to another thread yourself. But I guess a snide remark is more rewarding. ;)

just imagine that i'm butt nekid typing by mashing my nipples against the keyboard then trying to clean up the result into a rational mess.
