I own a pantload of guitar pedals, distortion, chorus, envelope filter, volume - is there any reason I can't use some/all of these with my bass?
Frugally,

Sure you can use guitar pedals with bass. My pedalboard consists of:
Trace Elliott Dual Compressor
Akai SB1 Deep Impact
Electro-Harmonix Big Muff
Fulltone Bass-Drive
Lovetone Meatball
Voodoo Lab Superfuzz
Boss BF-2 Flanger
Dunlop 105Q Bass Crybaby
EBS Octabass
The Big Muff, Meatball, Superfuzz and Flanger are all standard guitar pedals, whilst the Bass-Drive is a slightly modified guitar pedal.
Just try out your pedals with bass and see what happens. Even ones that suck out bottom-end can be great in the right context. And if they don't have decent bypass switching you can add a true bypass switching unit (try pedalboard.com) for not much dough.
Welcome to the world of bass players that cause guitarists to fear for their sonic space :-)

i have used both my ProCo rat and TECH21 XXL on my bass for different distortions.
try your envelope filter. it may sound really phenomenal on your bass.
