Chad Thorne Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 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, - Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 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 :-) Alex ------------------ C.Alexander Claber Chief Groove Guru V.P. i/c Funk spiderplant.net/alex Barefaced Ltd - ultra lightweight, high ouput, toneful bass cabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumpelstiltskin. Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 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. because i like people.
