Top five bass effects

[PMowdes]

Hi all, What are your top five bass effects??

So far I'd have to say mine were

- Lovetone Meatball
- Frostwave funk-a-duck
- Green Russian fuzz
- Zorg Effects - Glorious Basstar
- Schumann PLL (squarewave fuzz section)

I'm really interested to find details on the Brimstone audio crossover distortion if anyone has anything.

Source Audio Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter
Roland AP7 Jet Phaser (not a bass pedal but wowza)
Xotic BB bass

Ugh, so many to choose from

If talking about pedals you can build:
- Russian Green Big Muff
- BJFE Blueberry OD
- Mutron phaser 2
- Mutron III
- Colorsound Wah

If we’re talking about pedals you can buy:
- Soundblox Pro Bass Envelope Filter w/ hot hands
- Danelectro reel echo
- Aguilar Octamizer
- EHX Bass Micro Synth
- Mysterious Mammal: yes i know i build it and sell it, but its technically not DIY, and i freaking love this thing.

Top 5 built from here...

1) Ampeg Scrambler (add a booster, she quiet)

2) Chunk Brown Dog

3) Crowther Prunes and Custard

4) Idiotbox Blowerbox

5) Fulltone Bass Drive

[Silver Blues]

Oof that's a hard one, so many good to choose from. Blueberry, Green Russian, SWAH, Really Cheap Compressor, and actually the Fuzzhugger Doom Bloom is a sick pedal on bass.

3) Crowther Prunes and Custard

Is that good for bass?

[Travis]

Can I just name 5 different Big Muff variants?

My favorites are probably

ss/bs fuck overdrive - sounds great with an amp or DI

Big Muff (for me usually a green Sovtek)

Soda Meiser - man that is my jam on bass

Super Hard On - cheap old solid state bass amp + SHO is glorious

Meatball - who wouldn’t love that

[BetterOffShred]

Phat phuk is pretty nice too.
Pixel
Meatbox

[Highsmith]

Yes, it is.

There's gtr/bass switch, but I found it works better on bass!

Yes! I play guitar, but the Pixel into an old oc2 for faux fuzz bass lines is amazing. I LOVE that pedal!

Here's a design for the Prunes......
