Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I'm planning on scoring a fuzz soon. Probably a Muff. I don't even mess with the "bass Muffs" as I've used regular ol' guitar Muffs before to good effect.

The other thing I need, though, is some multi-FX pedal. Something pretty inexpensive but which has a decent array of effects built in. Sure, I wish I had the $ to go all analog and/or boutique and have a pedalboard the size of a swimming pool, but I'm just knocking around having fun at this point.

Anyone got recommendations for a good-ish multi-FX unit?

Hmm?

I already know your cousin

Now you gotta link your FB for all of us. =P

How
 
Muddslide - I don't think anyone in here uses multi effects units. I don't think that they're necessarily all terrible or sound like crap, but I just don't think that many folks here use them.

If I were forced to use one I'd get a boss ME50B or GT-10B. A lot of people on other parts of TB like the Zoom B3.

The Joyo suggestion is a good one, you can get enough of those to put together a killer pedalboard for less than what you'd pay for a nice Multi-FX.

Ultimate Drive > American Sound > Digital Delay > Flanger/Phaser would be an awesome little board. Even the UD is optional, as the American can get really awesomely dirty if you want it to.
 
I got a zoom of some sort for $20 at a pawn shop when I first started playing. Gave me an idea of what different effects can do. Then I sold it for what I paid at another pawn shop.

I recommend doing that and getting an idea of what you like and might need then resell and go Joyo or used and slowly build up.
 
My entire neighborhood is like a hockey rink. Winters in Nashville are typically pretty mild, but when we get a bunch of ice in this hilly city, everything shuts down. I have 4 cabs, a bass and some mics all boxed up and ready to ship but ant get my truck out of my neighborhood. Tomorrow looks worse. Funny thing about this area, within a couple days it'll look like nothing ever happened
