YOUR TOP 3 BASS PEDALS...GO!

#341
I use one pedal and a footswitch. Part of my Eh... close enough series:

Footswitch to turn on the Fender Rumble 150 Overdrive. Eh... close enough to an overdrive sound I'm trying emulate.
Rocktron Banshee Talkbox: I bought it because I always wanted one. I use it whenever I can on particular songs because... well it's fun and I'm certainly not going to let the guitarist borrow it unless he buys his own tube. No one usually expects a bassist to use one anyways.

Now, after reconfiguring my pedal board AGAIN, are my current top 3:
Darkglass B3K
Joyo Ultimate Drive (or a Mids & Bass Modded Bad Monkey, both sound great!)
Deluxe Bass Big Muff

Honorable Mentions:
MXR BFD - As a standalone effect, I prefer its fuzz to the EHX Muffs. But in the mix, it's just buried instantly.
MXR M87 - Great compressor, but now that I've retooled my board, I see how little I actually need compression. Thanks, LEDS!
GK Diesel Dawg - I feel like this pedal gets no love. It's a great heavy OD. Nothing wrong with it, as I use it regularly, but the thread said 3, and I already have an OD I use more often on it. So that's that.

As a side note, I fully believe that I could manage on just the B3K and Joyo. Very versatile pedals, and I could probably easily get a fuzz tone I like from them. I just have a fuzz for that and don't have to twist knobs etc.
