Rare and expensive bass effects

I would be interested to know what effects you'd like to try but haven't been able to, either due to their rarity or prohibitively high cost.

Here's mine:


BJFE Blueberry Bass Overdrive
D*A*M* Ezekiel 25:17 Bass OD / Distortion
Mu-Tron Phasor II
Mu-Tron Octave Divider
Original Ampeg Scramber
Original A/DA Flanger
Roland CE-1 Chorus
Maestro Brassmaster
Original Digitech Whammy
Lovetone Ring Stinger

For me it would be the original Musitronics Mu-Tron III and the Mu-tron III+ HAZ version - just to see if they are much different.

Also the Love Tone Meatball and the Akai Deep Impact.

All of them look/sound interesting and I'm definitely tempted to get a Mu-tron III (if at the right price), but I'm not sure if they are worth splashing out all that cash on.

+1 on the Love Tone Meatball

I'd love to get a Boss Slow Gear. I do have the Behringer clone, which works fine, but there's something about having a rare £200+ pedal that no one uses...

Oh, and there was a weird Boss synth pedal once, the Wave Generator IIRC - it was a twin pedal and used a thirteen pin roland style cable. Would love to have a go with that one.

ODB-3

;)

BJF 3BOD for me as well, though i am on their list so maybe in 12 months time!!

Also, an original version of the maestro (?) pedal MCA used on gratitude and sabotage, i forget what its called

Think the pedal on Sabotage is a Univox U-1095 Super-Fuzz so we can add that to the list!

Apparently you can mod a Boss NF-1 to work in reverse as it the exact same circuit! a much cheaper option.

The Boss Wave processor http://www.bossarea.com/other/wp20g.asp requires a Roland GK MIDI pickup to work as does the Poly Octave http://www.bossarea.com/other/oc20g.asp I'd like to try both too.

Thanks for all your replies, some pedals mentioned I'd not been aware of till now. I'll add them to the GAS pile.

I've had a Boss Slow Gear previously, to be honest, not overly great. The effect has been bettered since, so if you have a Behringer/Guyatone/Multi-FX equivalent, then thats as good as you'll get.
Cool black pedal though :).
I've got a Boss VB-2 which is pretty rare/expensive, and that is really cool!
Have a Meatbox to, although currently 'on the bench' :)

Despite all my pedal buying, i still havn't tried a Mutron III. Personally, i don't think there is anything vintage that i would prefer over the modern equivalent these days, so many excellent pedals about. In terms of expensive, i would also like to spend some time with an Octavious Squeezer, reckon i could tame it ;)
