Ok, I'm fairly saitisfied with my setup now, but I've got a slight addiction (ha!) to pedals and looking to expand again...but I've got no idea as to what to look at.

Current pedalboard is: Bass>Whammy IV>EHX Pulsar Tremelo>Boss BF-2 Flanger>MXR Phase 90>MXR Bass Blowtorch>Digitech BSW>Digitech Bass Multi Chorus>Ibanez Phat Head Distortion>Boss DD-3>Amp

I'm thinking about upgrading the distortion pedal, but other than that what else is there to get? I've demoed a few compressor pedals and didn't really like how it sucked the dynamics out of my playing. I own an original Dunlop Bass Wah pedal and (IMO) it sucks badly.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to check out?

Aside from that, there are so many fantastic, weird, desirable fx out there in the world that it's almost impossible to make suggestions without a specific goal in mind.

If all you want is "another pedal", then I'd suggest going to Pedalgeek or Tonefactor and reading all of the pedal descriptions until you see something that interests you.

Interesting chain order...

I went for a GR-20 and love it. You could probably also stand to have a decent envelope filter. Of course, there are lists of interesting and weird effects, but it depends on how you play. Look into a Guyatone Slow Volume or some such. Loop stations are always fun. Also, you can never have enough delay -- I have three delays (two are dedicated) and eight loops that I can work with. You can really go far with board and in a couple different directions at that...

A different wah, perhaps? I hear good things about Ibanez's Weeping Demon, but I have no experience with it. I like Morley's bass wah a lot - the blue one from 2000, not the new one (no experience with that, either).
