Cheers 51m0n. If I decide to get a compressor, I know what ones to look at (& whom to ask if I see something different). Probably the reason I've never gotten a compressor pedal is because I'm going in blind & by the time I've fiddled with the knobs on any that I've tried out, it's too late & is either noisy or over compressed (although I do use a VST compressor on recordings as you can see exactly what you're doing with it). The only one I've tried that I liked was the EHX White Finger, but that was on it's own (No other fx involved) & the sound engineer set it up for me.

I agree with Ched, If you're not sure what you want, then a good multi FX unit is a great starting point & just pop some exlax in the guitarists cuppa (that'll make him crap himself).

A decent fretless bass (5 or 6 stringer), a BEF Pro with HH (to work in conjunction with the Moog LPF), a good chorus pedal (the CE-2 is a mates), something that can make good unison fx (like a pitch shifter) & another cab (maybe a PA sub or self build). & maybe even a couple of Moog pedals. But.... I've got a wedding in just over 2 months & then a house to redecotrate, so it could be some time before I get that list complete!

None? I've only tried a couple of compressors & the only one I liked was the EHX White Finger, but I didn't use it for Dubstep or with any other pedals. Wouldn't mind trying some again, but there's many other things higher up on my list.

I believe he now has the BEF Pro & HH, but didn't have it in time for these gigs (IIRC).

[quote name='D major' timestamp='1329181214' post='1538557'] That would be most appreciated. I'm sticked to OC-2 --> MF102--> and so on setup but just curious about his pedals. Cheers. [/quote] Hey D, here's what he uses... "the exact signal chain is: EBS Multicomp>Oc2>Smooth Beaver Fuzz>Line6 M9 (Q Filter>Delay with Mod>some Chorus (can't remember which one)."

DV24/7 & GAK are £37.49, but I suppose you'll have postage to add to that. I don't understand how they've went up so much in the past year or 2! They was less than £30 when I got mine.

Bassist is called Michal Gorecki, he's over on a Facebook page called Organic Bass Wobble. Don't know what his kit is, but I could ask him if you want?

I suppose it depends on the octaver & how cleanly you play, but I don't have any trouble with the Boss OC-3 keeping up with any riffs that I play (& many solo pieces too). EHX HOG or POG will give you a HUGE sound, but they're not cheap.

That Tech21 unit looks of interest. I'm another for octave down & fuzz. If you can split the signal after the octaver & put 1 channel through your fuzz & then filter the clean so it just sounds like sub then blend back together.

I dare say that 10 or so boost pedals in a row should do the job. Not sure how it would sound, but if you used good quality pedals, cables & power supplies, then it would be an interesting experiment.

Yes, but everyone would need to be very very quiet.

I started off playing a lot of blues as a kid, but gave it up as I didn't want to end up fat.

Going by the curve on the back & how it fits to the contour of the body, I'd say it's made for the fatter bassist.

That's a good read. I need/want more FX!

I'd say pretty much the same as Letts did, or maybe octave, graphic, fuzz, chorus (usually OC before any other FX). But play around & find out what you like the sound of. Like Shep says, an enevelope filter is a useful thing for synth sounds.

Well as Brian's mum says, "That's disgusting!" (from Monty Python's Life of Brian)

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1328888776' post='1534427'] It's what you pay to Ent or Sir Paul. Perhaps Sting. [/quote] That's what I thought it was.

Or is it maybe Lefties are more skilled with the bass & therefore don't need pedals?

Ummm.... Is it because left handed people find it harder to balance on one foot & press things with the other?

Remember that a left handed one might be even rarer & dearer!

Oh, another option is the Source Audio BEF (or if funds stretch, the BEF Pro). You can add a hot hand (like an expression pedal turned into a ring for your finger) & do anything from funk to dubstep. Worth looking at too.

I'm using your shudder, in the form of a CE-2. Doesn't actually belong to me, but it is a good chorus.
