Analog vs digital effects

[GreeneKing]

I've noticed that using a different bass into my pedal board can result in effects that are not so so subtly different. In can even give unexpected and unwanted artefacts. This makes sense with different frequencies and harmonics being processed by reactive circuits of components.

Digital effects seem to give more consistent results.

could be to do with differences in impendece on the ouputs of your basses
