Not necessarily bass-specific effects, but what pedals are on your bass board?
For starters, I finally made a board. It's a plastic cutting board, and I used 3M Command strips to mount the pedals. So far, so good.
First pedal is a D'Addario chromatic tuner. Next is an EHX Bassballs. If I had to ditch all the pedals and just use one, it would be this one. Next is a Dunlop Hendrix wah. I need to mod it to ditch the volume drop, but otherwise, it's voiced really well for bass. After that is a Boss ODB-3. I set it with the mix almost all the way dry, and the gain on like less than 1. It lets me cop that middle era Les Claypool tone, like "Fisticuffs" or "Southbound Pachyderm." Last is a Donner Revecho. It's fun for ambient, Jonas Hellborg kinda stuff, and I set the delay to a single repeat that's slightly louder than the dry signal. Neat effect with fretless.
En route is a Boss TR-2, which I think will be a blast. When the TR-2 shows up, I'm pulling the wah off the board (you guys were right, it's too heavy), and reconfiguring things.
I'm a little reluctant to get into compressors, but Juan Alderete says the Boss CS-2 is his #1 pedal of all time, so I'm going to get one.
Also after a Digitech Timebender, current gen Bass Whammy, a chorus, phaser, and flanger, probably old Boss or DOD stuff.
