The Five Pedals that EVERY Bass Player needs!

I'm looking for a small all-in-one bass pedal to carry around if I'm going to a friends house or a place I don't want to haul my full pedal board to. I heard that Vox makes an SL1B and 2B and Trace Elliott may have something. Are any of you using something like this, or is it not worth the $100-$150? Inquiring minds are really curious.

I would either use my Zoom MS-60B and put a comp in front of an amp sim. With the built in tuner, I'd be all set. In fact, I have done this.

However, if I need a little bit more I can now use my Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig v2. "But you have to plug it in!" you might object. I don't. I am now powering it off a battery pack, the kind you use to charge your phone when you're on the road. All I needed to pull this off was a 9v converter the size of a matchbook. I'm going to velcro all this nonsense to my Gator Mini Bone board and there's my new battery powered fly rig.

I said it earlier, but I'll say it again: BOSS GT-1B

I believe they're still under 300 (USD) and will do everything except wipe your behind.
 
The octave in Last on your chain? I should try that

that is not the order of my chain, actually its 2nd to my tuner.
