kingforaday Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 hi all, i built myself a pedal board to the size i wanted and have got all the pedals/sounds i had in mind when i started thinking about this... but i've got one space left! i've got: Jim Dunlop 105Q wah EBS Multicomp Digitech bass Synth Wah (used as an octaver only) Fulltone bass drive Sansamp VT bass danelectro Cool cat chorus i'm happy with all these pedals and most importantly i use them all at some point during the songs i'm playing in the bands i'm in. so no tag alongs on this board! only just got the cool cat but i think its a keeper, just such a beautiful tone to it... but its 18volt so runs off a separate adaptor leaving me one daisy chain and one space for one more pedal... i'm thinking a nano small stone but not sure i'd use it much, just wondering if there's anything glaringly obvious that i've forgotten about!? i'm playing kinda dirty punk-rock with one band and rock n roll with the other (may end up using an EDB for this one)... so to be honest the pedal board is mainly for the more dirty rock side of things i have a bunch of pedals that haven't made it onto the board which i like they just didn't quite fit the sound (they're listed in my signature as potential trades/sales) but i figure rather than just keep buying stuff i'll ask for some advice! so... thoughts?

EskimoBassist Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Personally, I think you're missing TWO things: A Pedal Tuner - Boss TU-2, Korg Pitch Black? A nice Fuzz - I see you're trying to shift an El Grande, how about the new Bass Big Muff, I love mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yeh you need more dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingforaday Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 got a rack tuner, shoulda probably said that! i've tried a couple of fuzz pedals as that was my initial thought too but i just don't find the sound works in a band context. the fulltone and the VT give me all the dirt i need really...

harvey1-8 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'd add a phaser. Maybe a DI pedal of some description but I'm not sure if the Sansamp VT bass you already have would cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I've just realised you're missing a digital delay!! I like my marshall echohead, but there's lots of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Was just about to recommend a nice fuzz, probably with some form of blending a la B:Assmaster etc..., but read that fuzz didn't work for you & you've got all the dirt you need. How about an aural exciter of some kind? Edited May 28, 2009 by nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I'd add a flanger (or a phaser but I prefer flangers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protium Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Compressor or EQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamapirate Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 oh god yes. You gotta have one o' dem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Personally, my fave pedal that i have is the Maxon AF-9, but that's not really suitable for dirty rock / punk that you're playing. The only thing that i can think of along the lines of what you might like that i've owned is the Pro Co RAT, awesome, disgustingly dirty and great fun - as played on Reef's "summer in bloom" and sounds just as filthy in real life... Lovely. I also have and love the Boss BF-2B Flanger, perfect and very effective for anything if used in moderation / hardly ever.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Looks pretty complete to me. If you must fill the space in your board though, you could use a pedal sized wireless kit (Samson springs to mind) or failing that a Tupperware box for your sandwiches (cut into 1/4s of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
