Whats missing from this board?

[Pat The Bassist]

Here is my new board, so far I have a tuner, compressor, and chorus pedal in that order. I have room for 2 "big" pedals, or 4 "small pedals" or 2 small and 1 big. I plan to get a big muff pi very shortly, what other KIND of pedals should I get? What effects are pretty "necessary"?

 

[scHism]

An OD/Dist of some sort, FUZZZZZZ and Envelope Filter, the rest are up to you...

 

[MysterMunky]

Fuzz, a wah and a flanger. Delays are fun too

 

[BruceBass3901]

Some kind of dirt, and either an octaver or an evelope filter for some fun

Another modulation effect such as a flanger, phaser or delay might open up new territory as well

 

[PJMiDi]

Id say a flanger (boss bf-2 is nice and is a small pedal) and a delay(my preference is a dd-7 or a carbon copy) the fuzz which you metioned already would be another one I always want one of

 

[scotch]

No such thing as "necessary"!

What styles of music are you playing? Do you gig? Any particular songs or players that inspire you & you want to adapt to your own sound? Any special signal routing needs/expansion potential? Is a drink holder called for?

So many pedals, so many questions...

 

[ergbass]

octaver and filter.

 

[Pat The Bassist]

I plan to get the big muff pi, so that will take care of my OD/fuzz. Also. I wanna get a bass synth, which it seems i'll be getting a Boss SYB-5. So, that leaves 2 small pedals or one large one. What to do?

 

[Twocan]

VT Deluxe and you're done.

I'd say a BMP would take care of fuzz, but not drive necessarily. Maybe a VT Bass or BDDI, that should take care of your drive needs. Then maybe a volume pedal? That's about all I run at the moment that I find useful.
