YOUR TOP 3 BASS PEDALS...GO!

Does Roland vb99 count? Because I'm rapidly replacing pedals and even basses with it.

Same here , except no more pedals for me , it's VB99 all the time.

FX I like on the VB99:
POLY ringmod
POLY octaver
Multi comp
Mu-Tron
(I have an original Mu-TronIII , and I prefer using the VB')

And of course all the synths…..
 
Have any of you VB99 lovers ever gotten sick of digital multi-effects pedals? Is this one better than most? I think I got completely sick of the sound destroying devices I tried from Boss and Zoom and various others. Are clipping and muddiness a thing of the past? Especially with chords, ringing notes, and subtle techniques... is this REALLY the pedal to rule them all or is it just a good offering from Roland that raises the bar without eliminating the inherent issues?

All POLY effects and the instrument/synth emulations process each strings individually.
Take your guess if that gives a better result …
 
Can you get the same sound out of a Sansamp Tech 21 programmable driver DI pedal as the Sansamp VT Bass? I really want that programmable one. It is there to compliment my Orange Terror (original band) but also to beef up my Line 6 Lowdown 150 (small pub covers). I might not even use the Lowdown with the programmable DI pedal.
