guzzibass Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I don't use any pedals when i'm gigging, (except for the tuner). Am I misssing out on anything? What pedal/effect/gizmo would you never be without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't feel like you're missing out, then you're probably not. It wouldn't hurt to try a few effects though. I'd suggest starting with an overdrive, then maybe look into an octaver. It's a slippery slope . Come to the dark side... go on... do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MoJo Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Start using effects then realise I don't need them. Go back to a bass-lead-amp then start to think that I need effects and so the vicious circle continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Think if my amp weren`t to have an on-board compressor, that wd be the only pedal, aside from tuner, that I wd use. I have a tendency to hit the bass rather hard at times, and compression just helps to stop the volume going over the top. It also tidies up each note nicely, ensuring that I`m on the beat, and that I don`t get sloppy when playing - not that I`ve ever been tempted, of course.

Ghost_Bass Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I have a significant number of pedals but the ones i wouldn't leave at home are my tuner (korg pitchblack) and my compressor (ebs multicomp) but i think i would still bring my auto-wah (3leaf audio) to funky things up.

gafbass02 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I won't play anywhere without a compressor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthetic Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 A compressor with limiter would be useful. A valve compressor would be even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
