Fretless ABG - what effects?

[Nodd]

I have a couple of gigs with a guitar/piano, clarinet, vocals where I use my fretless Eko ABG.
Some of the numbers are asking for 'atmospheric' sounds.
Do any of you use FX with your fretless/
What would you recommend?

You can see below I have an EHX MBS and an envelope follower,
they are maybe a bit OTT and unnatural.
I was thinking maybe reverb and chorus?

Thoughts?

Cheers in expectation,
Nodd

I haven't got a fretless (though it's on my list of "to gets" & a fretless 5 is at the top), but I hate that traditional 80s chorused fretless.
Saying that, there's nowt wrong with some reverb & if the chorus is done right, then yeah.

Maybe a delay & a filter would be good choices. But it depends what you're after.

Mine's would go through octave, fuzz, filter, LPF & chorus & sound more like a synth.

I use a Boss CEB-3 with my fretless basses. It's a nice bit of kit that has a good range of possible tones.
