just thinking, which pedals do we NEED to have for a solid and clear tone? and for the occasional od/distortion?

Re: Mandatory pedals for bass!
Tuner. A bass modded or model of a Big Muff is great on bass.Originally posted by crusty philtrum...Gimme a call when it's time to take 'em out. I don't have a gun, but i have a very sharp pointy stick and enough negativity to take out a small country...Originally posted by SecurbThe only blackmachine I care about is sitting in my jeans.

Re: Mandatory pedals for bass!
I've always wanted to build up a bass rig. To start, I'd have a tuner, a good compressor (Barber Tone Press comes to mind), a TRex Bass Juice for OD, and one of those little purple MXR envelope filters.

Re: Mandatory pedals for bass!
I don't think you need both a compressor and a dirt pedal. its nice to have both, but not mandatory. what style do you play? if you need cleans or play slapbass ya choose the compressor over a dirt pedal. my tech 21 mimics characteristics of a tube amp which is pretty cool.
some of my amps have good EQs so I do not feel it is mandatory, but they are nice for fine tuning in a band setting.

Re: Mandatory pedals for bass!
most bass players dont use any pedals
they tune once before they play, and then just plug in to the amp
I love using my pedal tuner, my vtbass, decimator gstring noisegate for heavy music! not necessary though. for heavy rock a lot of times they just step on the pedal to stop the noise instead of using a noisegate.

Re: Mandatory pedals for bass!
theres no right answer, but I am a tweaker so ya for me more options are better
I would prolly never use the compressor though since distortion is compression, in a general sense. I have both but dont like using them together. when I mix songs I use compression plugin after I record the bassline.
