Christmas is coming and I have some money on my PayPal account to buy myself a gift (a pedal of course). ;)
Currently I have on my board MXR Bass Auto Q, another filter (Tone Factor Analog Filter) is on its way, Line 6 Echo Park and Verbzilla, Dr. Scientist Frazz Dazzler, Boss CE-5.
I play funk, soul, Motown, hip-hop, acid jazz.
I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! ;)

The one piece of my pedal board that will never go is the Tech 21 Bass driver! This thing is absolutely magic in a box, I just cant turn it off ever! No matter if im playing clean smoothness or harsh metal, this little box performs in a stupidly amazing way. Every bass player should have one!

However, for live and saving pocket, I use the cheap knock off (but very close sounding) Behringer BDI 21

A compressor is a magic pedal, that isn't in your face obvious, and it can do wonders to your sound. Magic I tell ya. Lots of choices, I like the Trex Squeezer, but many don't. After that, there's alot of stuff you don't have, see what suits you.

Micro Pog looks very interesting, I think it could be on my list. Sansamp, I had it before and sold it, it is good pedal in some situations, but now I have good instrument and good amp, so I see no reason why I have to use Sansamp. Compressor is definitely a good thing, but usually there are 2 groups of people: for whom compressor is a must and for whom it is not very useful. I think I’m in the 2nd group. :D

I would suggest, even though you have the auto q and evelope, the Boss SYB-3(aparently the 5 doesn't track as well) I use it and you can get some wild synthesized sounds out of it. Also, the Line 6 DL-4 may be a good option or Boss DD-6. I just have fun mutating my signal with these sorta things(a Kaoss Pad helps too:smug:)

Yes, I like phasers and synth pedals as well. What is AdrenaLinn III? Multi-effect processor?

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is a "beat synched multi fx + Amp modeling + drum box". :D

I wrote a review on basschat.co.uk a few days ago:

Fantastic unit - it comes with a 30-day money back guarantee. If you don't like it you can always return it.

The only two things that I don like are the compressor (I hope it will be fixed in future upgrades) and it lacks of a phaser (but you can get away with twicked flanger).
