Bass pedals

[Benjy_26]

Can you use guitar effects pedals for a bass?

Yes, but some chop off some low end. It takes a bit of trial and error.

I can tweak the frequency on the amp to compensate though, right?

You can, but the tweaks you make need to be done every time you turn the pedal on or off.

Not really. It’s much easier to remove a frequency than to bring it back. Sometimes it can’t be done. A guitar pedal can have a high pass filter for example.

This one is for recording direct and for quiet practice with headphones. The silver pedal is a Darkglass Element which has cab sims and and a bunch of other stuff to tailor the tones coming out of the headphone and XLR outputs. It can also receive backing tracks via Bluetooth for playing along to.

This board and this collection of pedals has changed the way I approach practice and recording bass.

^ Half the reason to own gear is for the light show. Nicely done.

Agreed! These pedals actually sound like shit but they look pretty in the dark.
