I like...very nice setup. How does that analogman sound? Ive heard nothing but great things about them. Need to get my hands on one.

and you managed to get one of those looopers.
when I finally knew what I need to have one custom made, I had to find out they're currently out of business due to health problems of the owner

I never use the Mini Q-tron on gigs but sure is fun to mess with.

I'm using (from left to right) a Electro Harmonic stereo memoryman, an Electro Harmonix Q-tron plus and an EBS octaver. My Sennheiser wireless system is in the box also.
Sr5 with octaver = Serious Bass!

The Analogman chorus is nice and quiet, which is a great starting point, and the chorus can do anything from very subtle to over the top.

I've never been an effects guy so far when it comes to bass, but I recently jumped on a opportunity, since I found some very interesting promo on Behringer pedals.
Well, I know that's not the highest end ever, but the prices were so low that I decided to get a bunch of those (and will resell any of them who may not please me when I get them).
So the list is here :
- AB100 (A/B switch)
- TU300 (tuner)
- BEQ700 (bass equalizer)
- BOD100 (bass overdrive)
- BCH100 (bass chorus)
- BLE100 (bass comp/limiter)
Should arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I manage to get some pretty cool sounds out of these:
Dunlop Crybaby bass wah
Digitech whammy pedal
Boss BF-3 Flanger
Boss DD-3 Digital Delay
Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff distortion
I never found the need for a tuner.

Current setup of pedals includes the following...
Boss TU-2>Fulltone Bass Drive>EBS Chorus>Boss DD-20.
I recently off loaded quite a few pedals (EBS octaver, EBS Bass IQ, EH Q-Tron, Carl Martin Compressor/Limiter)
Looking for new Auto Wah and Compressor...

It's amazing how well overdrive and fuzz can conceal crappy technique! I use it to my advantage all of the time. ;-)

I've usually been a cable to amp guy, myself. I really haven't played much in the last 4 years (have a 4 yr old and 5 month old...lol), but have wound up with an envelope filter and guitar/bass wah (Rocktron Heart Attack and Black Cat, respectively.)
I've got an old Ibanez Bass Chorus and a Trace Elliot dual-compressor pedal (the Trace got the most use of anything,) but they've all pretty much sat in a box for a while.
Recently, I broke out the recorder and my Sterling (which has also sat in it's case for way too long,) and noodled around for a bit...and to make it even more damnable, broke out the envelope filter on the 2nd track)
I can't say that I forgot how good the Sterling sounds...only that it's still hard to believe how good it sounds every time...

First off I have to disagree that distortion/fuzz conceals crappy technique. I find that it just takes different chops to play a fuzzed bass than it does a clean bass. Same as any other effect really. I mean, false harmonics just dont scream played clean no matter how dead on you are. But I digress. (sorry, been taking flack as a distortion toting bassist for uh, 20 years now, guess I'm kinda defensive)
My pedals which I have no eye candy photos of are
Rat Deucetone-been using Rat for bass forever find they dont suck out all the balls like some distortions do. Not sure if I am going deaf, but I swear they used to have more going on in the edges of the fuzz back in the 80's. I run one channel almost clean, the other pretty hard.
this has recently been replaced/supplemented by
Death by Audio "Fuzz War". Best Fuzz ever. Like most DBA pedals the knobs are very non-linear and weird. One section of the sweep gets a muddy almost clean tone, 5 degrees later and you are in rat box territory, a few more in the other direction and its octavey sounding. It does a nice kinda smoosh when you hit it hard with your bass (or guitar). Dont buy one, I dont want anyone else to have this much fun.
Moog Moogerfooger lowpass. This is the beat all of envelope pedals. I no longer want a mutron. I also rarely even look at my original series EH Doctor Q. It totally buries my Bassballs. Fretless 5 string into this is... well indescribable.
quite often before I go into an envelope pedal I run through a bunch of modulation pedals. i usually set them on very minimal settings so it just barely affects the signal.
DOD FX70 stereo flanger. it has a single jack for stereo output which you have to build a y cable for. Not a good idea if you are using tube amps with finicky imputs! I tweaked the guts to make it a little more detuned sounding when still at minimum settings.
DOD FX65 Stereo Chorus. Nice chorus sound, not vintagey but clean without being cold
Ibanez soundtank Chorus. It sounds okay, but is a little noisy when followed by a fuzz. Doesnt get very extreme sounding, and being all SMT and junk not very mod-able. Still it's nice to run in series with my other chorus and flange to give some motion.
EH Frequency Analyzer Ring modulator. Fun with the fretless and the moog.
Johnson Echo delay, not the greatest delay pedal, but good for short slappy delays.
Danelectro-Fish-n-chips. A total crap graphic EQ. I use it when I want to totally screw up my bass for a recording. It goes into oscillation when you max out the sliders.
Digitech pds 1550 distortion. It's a weird beast that has some delay built into it. I didnt even notice this until I recorded it and heard a kind of nasal comb filter sound. It's a real short delay so its hard to hear. Semi parametric eq on one OD channel. Not a pretty sound, more of an ugly punk sound.
all of this smacks into my Mesa Bass 400 for gigs or my Epiphone Valve jr. for recording. I have to concurr with the above statement that I dont play out with as many effects as I like to use in the estudio. I just have had too many bad experiences with pedal malfunctions. Or what is more likely, singers walking all over my pedals.
Live I go naked or bring one pedal. Unless its some total freak out jam kind of thing. Then I am going to take the guitarists head off!
Lately my favorite chain is to run the EH ringmod at minimal settings, then the DOD fX70 for a little slow warble, followed by the Moog Lowpass. Then I hit one of the overdrives/fuzzes into a nice tube amp.
Gets a nice Roland/Korg kind of 70's synth sound when played on the fretless. Looking to get the Moog control processor or build my own CV function generator so I can get a modulated filter sound (think Tom Sawyer synth)

Had one but it didn't play well with active basses (Bongo with volume at 1/2, etc). I could even overload it with a passive j-bass. Crazy sounds, but like a lot of envelope filters it's really sensitive to touch. Play just a little lighter than usual and you won't hear much effect. Play just a little harder and it hits the wall. The EHX bassballs isn't really the same thing but a pretty easy to use substitute.
I had a picture of my board somewhere... It has a Fulltone Bassdrive, Boss OC-3 octaver, Aphex punch factory compressor, EHX bassballs and a Yamaha magic stomp being used as a flanger. This along with a couple of bypass loopers and a DC brick (bassdrive sounds better at 18v, and the brick puts out both 9v and 18v).
