Your "MUST HAVE" Pedal?

[Marial]

Of the ones I have, probably my IE Nimbus. Of the ones I still want to add? Toss up between a Diamond Bass Comp or a slew of Strymon pedals (Big Sky and Timeline especially).

Just my DI so I can play thru the FOH....

 

[svtb15]

I too have the Keeley Bassist Compressor LOVE it.. its on all the time .......but the one MUST Have pedal is my peterson tuner

I don't know if this has been covered recently, but with the amount of pedals coming out daily I wanted to hear everyone's pick for the ONE pedal that they can't live without. Don't list 2 or 5, etc... Just the ONE pedal that you consider your Holy Grail.

For me it is the Keeley Bassist Compressor

 

[Flabass]

My GAS pedal. Won't go away!

 

[RJHall]

Boss TU-3 or similar. That's all.

 

[rjovin]

I have to have two: gas, and brake.

My GAS pedal. Won't go away!

you guys must shop at the same used up, tired joke store.

Seriously a Swiss Army knife of a box. Killer preamp, killer headphone amp, turns your pedal board into an standalone rack / rehearsal studio. And with a baby in the house, the ability to plug in and jam with Michael Jackson as if Quincy Jones himself was mixing your bass in, it's a beautiful thing! My only regret is I didn't have one of these ten years ago.

Don't have one. I could play with a clean sound on all my gigs and be fine. But I choose not to just because I enjoy pedals and annoying those in my band who think I'm nuts.

 

[Vinny Tomassetti]

No pedal is a must for me because I am usually always playing straight bass into amp..... but I do have a big pedalboard for some fun stuff & if I had to choose one pedal only it would be my Pigtronix Envelope Phaser.

Wait, you have a Rat Tail with a built-in clean blend?

ryan can do custom pedals however you want, he even had my band's logo photo etched on the top of the pedal

 

[Chris Hass]

My tuner!

And also my B7K, Barbershop and BDPG!

I found the new Tabacus "Fuzz-horn" the other day - I am living by this thing.

 

[decentbassbreh]

dang probably my sansamp programmable bass driver

 

[BeardedFrog]

The only pedal I use is a Boss CEB-3, so I guess that one by default.

 

[BazzTard]

Polytune

no, wait, my MXR Bass Compressor

no, my PBDDI

err my M80 DI+ ?

why just one? I have a whole big pedalboard hehe

Ok, my one is the MXR Bass Compressor , it just makes me sound better

 

[Big Brother]

BBE Sonic Stomp. It's like removing a pillow in front of your cab.

 

[BioWeapon]

My GAS pedal. Won't go away!

Dunno... I'd think that'd be my favorite in the car!

 

[SlugThrower]

B7K

 

[AdrielBennett]

Barbershop

What is it used for ?

 

[Nephilymbass]

I use a rack sans amp so that doesn't count right? I'd probably go with my shure glxd it's my wireless and tuner.

I do have a boss cs2 at the begginning of the chain and a bbe sonic stomp in the rack before the sans amp rbi that are always on. But I don't necessarily need them.
