Pbassred Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 My old Bass bod XT Live must be completely superceed by now. I only need:- one chorus setting (delux) Wah wah The compressor The volume pedal. A synth that tracks. So what is out there that works? ... or do I need to buy individual pedals?

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'd go for seperate pedals. Reverb, delay , flanger, phaser etc. so many . Or you could go for something like a boss me50 b , which is less complicated than a lot of multi fx. Whatever way you go, have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'd probably go with seperates personally, but i do want to try the new Line 6 Pod HD X series (HD500X and HD Pro X) as they're supposed to be the most powerful on the market. Doesn't mean they've managed to finally get a good bass synth though. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I have multi effects rack units but to be honest the Zoom B3 is about as portable a solution as I could imagine for chorus, octave and compression. Anything requiring processor power and I might as well use Guitar Kontrol Rig. The multi effectvs units have a switchable effects loop though which still means they're useful for combining multiple inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 If that's all you need and your happy to "stomp" I would go separate petals. That way you can refine your sound as much as you like without changing everything. The only reason I can think of to go for multi-effects is if you want to save all your settings or make multiple changes during a performance.

lefrash Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) In all honesty I'd recommend a zoom b9.1ut. Its a bit heavy, but you could have your setup in one patch and you could use it as seperate stomp boxes. The synth is perhaps the only thing that will let it down. Depending on how you will use it, it may work; I use mine as long sweeps so therefore tracking is never a problem. On the other hand a B3 to cover tha majority of sounds (can be used as 3 seperate stomp boxes), then a wah, an expression pedal (via the b3 for volume) and a dedicated synth (perhaps a digitech bass synth wah) and you'd have a great setup! It'd also mean you'd have an octaver on tap (for example) if needed. The b9 (and b3) sounds are perfectly giggable and the units are solid.
