I have a Boss Bass Overdrive pedal, has anyone used any other Effects pedals for Bass that are really cool. I play Hard Rock and some Blues.
Thanks for the help.

I always used a bit of chorus on my bass sound and I had a compressor also.  Just try it, maybe borrow some devices from pals and check them out. |

Yeah, My Fender M-80 Bass amp has a built in Chorus, It's pretty cool, I don't have any songs we use it. I have a few songs where I use the Overdrive, if you ever get the chance to hear a bass on overdrive, you'll love it.

I've got a digitech bp50 that I run through to my amp that actually does a whole lot to fill out the sound (or tweak it into something cool have I the desire). It's pretty fun since you can make your own effects from a whole slew of choices (plus amp modeling) and is pretty simple to use onstage quickly. The major benefit for me is that it turned my crappy 1x12 behringer into a pretty hefty sounding rig with just a few tweaks of the pedal.

I almost bought a BP200. I played through one at the guitar center and was blown away. It just seemed too much for me, but the 50 might be up my ally.

For Digitech I've found you really get way more than you pay for either way.... just get the adaptor, those things drain AA's like water.

Yeah, you need the adapter, thats for sure. I need to get one for my Boss Overdrive pedal. I heard only a Boss adapter will work, is this true?

I'm not too sure, but it should be pretty standard. If you go to Radio Shack and bring the pedal with they can usually fix you up with the style that fits. They're probably feeding you crap that it needs to be the Boss adaptor though, it's generally just a 9v DC current and you can find literallly dozens of types of plugs for that

Some cheap adaptors cause awful hum, buddies. Here in Europe it is 50Hz cycle hum, I guess over there it is 60HZ... Be sure that, if you buy one, it is of good quality and not the cheapest crap you can get in order to be able to afford some extra cans of beer. Look for an adaptor that says "stabilized" and is able to supply not only the correct voltage (9 Volt) but also the required amparage.  |

Steel got to that one first. ;D NO RADIO SHACK!  It will either cause a hum or just plain make the pedal sound dif. The best way to check one out I have found. Is play the pedal with the 9v battery and then the 9v adaptor. If there is no hum or change in sound, then its ok. Alot of thes companies make thier stuff only work propperly with their stuff or a part designed to specificly replace their stuff, so. NO RADIO SHACK! In fact I have found radio shack to be only trust worthy on the most basic of connections, period. You want to make your DVD, stereo or TV work then ok go there. But keep radio shack off the stage. |
