    As a guitar player who now plays bass in 2 bands I can wholeheartedly recommend the EQD Palisades. The bandwith knob on that thing is a godsend for bassplayers who don't want to lose any low end, hell, you can even boost it to have more low end than your clean tone.

I also like the t.c electronics modulation pedals on bass too. I own the vortex flanger and the corona chorus and they sound awesome on bass.

    Plumes sounds cool on bass but it cuts a lot of low end in real life. I love it for guitar but for bass it needs a downstream low end boost in order to be viable. Best way to use it is as a temporary boost before your main overdrive. It also works awesome after fuzz, especially after a B:Assmaster or Diabolik.

It’s such a treat listening to a bass demo with smooth, clever, and catchy bass lines - as opposed to all these comedy-segue-esque slapping demos I’m hearing everywhere nowadays. Well done. Also, very cool pedals. Listening to that first setting on the C4 felt like drowning in a sea of liquified synthesizers - in a good way.

      I used the Sansamp RBI rack unit in live and recording situations for many years and now I just started using it again and just wow. I’d forgotten just how good it really is and I have a EHX Big Muff Pi Bass Fuzz Deluxe that is a deadly combination when used in front of the RBI. I don’t usually go for a heavily distorted tone but I get a very good tube emulation with nice harmonic saturation and with the Seymour Duncan Studio Bass comp in the mix I don’t think anyone can tell the difference between the solid state amp and a vintage tube amp.

    I'm a big fan of the Zvex Distortron and JHS Muffuletta. Both let all the low end through and in the case with the Muffuletta, adds some nice sub frequencies. I also use the EHX Memory Boy Delay. the blend and drive knobs really help to dial in the perfect delay for bass, plus with it being analog you can really get some wacky sounds.

    • @mikechecka292
      @mikechecka292 3 года назад

      If you feel that way there certainly much better pedals out there for bass distortion. If I were going to buy a pedal for this purpose I recommend grabbing one that was designed with the bass in mind. While its true you can use guitar pedals with your bass it would make more sense to invest in a unit that is bass specific because the lower frequencies of bass guitars often take a hit with guitar distortion pedals. Companies like Ampeg and Darkglass will always have better options for bassists because they have been designing products specific to bass players and are the the top two companies that come to most bassists minds when the subject of distortion comes up. That being said I've plugged basses into dual chorus guitar combos and guitar tube combos as well as bass to a Boss Heavy Metal to a 400 watt peavey bass head that had to be made in the 80s. Most of there "experiments" sounded as bad as you would expect and I pissed off a couple of guys that never got over it. Turns out some of those guitar combos I plugged into were expensive and they were not comfortable with me plugging my bass into their $1000 + combos and trying to melt the tubes with my bass. That was in the 90s and those two guys still wont talk to me.

The compressor was great and compact but for the price I think I would rather have the Dark Glass. If the drybell was like 100 bucks cheaper I would be all over it. I'll have to watch the used market for a deal.
