Veteran Bassist Seeking Best Effects Unit

[CLPalacio]

I come from a similar background. The only effect I had ever used was the built in chorus in my GK amp but I recently started branching out. I recently purchased TC Electronic pedals and have been pleased. A friend swore by them and some of my heroes have used TC Electronic for years. I have the reverb, flange and Nova IB delay. I'm currently using Mark King's tone prints.

Hello, Folks - this is my first post - I'm new here, starting today.

I've been playing bass for 22 years, mainly in alternative and progressive rock bands, usually without any effects. I did have a multi-effects unit by Digitech for a few years (not my favorite brand for effects), but got rid of it a while back.

I am currently involved in a new project that mixes progressive & psychedelic rock (Porcupine Tree/Pink Floyd/the Cure) with electronica (New Order, Cocteau Twins, NIN, etc.) so I am looking for something that offers some different palettes to paint from, so to speak.

So far, I am drawn to the BOSS GT-10B because of my experience with BOSS products for electric guitar, and because I prefer the all inclusive pedal board as opposed to racks for live purposes.

Is this my best bet in the $500 +/- price range?

Thank you.

+1 for separate pedals, find out what effects you need and build your own board!!

I've got a buddy with a line 6 HD 500 and I used to own a zoom many years ago. I now own a digitech BP355 and use it as a DI right into the PA. I absolutely love it. And it is much cheaper than the rest @ $200

+1 I use the bp355 as well direct into the PA. Pretty happy with the sounds.
