What effect do you run on all the time?

[JimmyM]

Hi and lo pass filters. That's it.

 

[BasementWarrior]

I run a VT Bass all the time through my P.O.S. backup amp. Nothing's on all the time through my main rig.

 

[Wadge]

The sadowsky Di pedal is on all the time. The Compressor is on all the time but for the most part it is not compressing the signal. I use it only to tame the peaks when I am really digging in.

 

[friendlybass]

I run my big muff or my rat all the time. Roll back that volume knob

 

[sjhs]

always:
compressor - mxr m87
dirt - darkglass vintage microtubes

sometimes:
EQ/DI, as a boost and/or tone shaper - 3leaf enabler
chorus - tc electronics corona

 

[Josh Gone]

VT Bass Deluxe, assuming a pre counts as an effect.

Pretty much this except I have the DI. The more I use it the more I'd like to have a deluxe though.

 

[SonnyBassPlayer]

My Fairfield Barbershop overdrive is always on. Depending on the song and bass, I adjust the distortion needed.

 

[RickyT]

New to FX.

I have a sonic maximizer at the end of my “small” pedal chain that I leave on all the time. I started looking at envelope filters and like the Aguilar. I could get addicted to this pedal. It seemed to fatten the tone nicely but not too much when dialed in low.

is there an effect you leave on too much?

Darkglass B7K and Super Symmetry

What effect do you run on all the time?
All of the time-none.
Most of the time-Barbershop.

 

[Anemic_SluG]

Always on:
Compressor: red witch grace
BBE Sonic Maximizer
75% of the time overdrive: Timmy

Have always ran a version of compressor and bbe either rack forms or pedals for years and just can't seem to get rid of them. It's a bad habit, but it just doesn't sound like my bass without them.

 

[SickAura]

Always on:
MXR Bass Compressor set slow attack/fast release only on my hardest hits
Into
Darkglass VMT (just upgraded to a VMTD) set at a very mild grit
Into my SVT7 Pro
Is perfect

 

[I am Soma]

micro pog and steel leather

 

[khutch]

I play in a church band through the house sound system which is a colorless hi-fi affair. My practice amp at home is similar, it is a 75 W keyboard amp so it is also very wide range. In both places I run an amp/cab modeler on my multi-effects pedal all the time. I neither know nor care how faithful to the originals the modeler is because it warms the sound up nicely in spite of whatever criticisms of its sound a purist might offer! Everything else I use as needed.

 

[mattattack187]

B7K preamp. Run fairly clean for the most part. Almost want to get a B3K just to have some dirt to switch on without having to adjust the knobs on the B7K. Which just makes me wish even more for a programmable Darkglass B7K.

 

[Barbaric.Eric]

This... always!

Yup - BBE never gets shut of or left home! (i use the 282)

 

[kurotenshi]

MXR compressor on all the time and EBS microbass II drive channel with just a little bit of dirt and EQ on 99% of the time.
I used to have reverb also on all the time but it was sucking a lot of tone so now I only use it when needed, I will try and make a new preset for the reverb so that is usable always on again.

 

[wmhill]

DOD Milk Box and DOD 250 are always on.

I had a milk box and thought it was pretty great, (but it died).

 

[Bassman Spiff]

Chorus - but only just enough to make the sound a bit more sexy.

 

[rtslinger]

BDDI, Compressor, Noise suppressor.
