karlthebassist Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 My pedalboard is currently Bass > TU-2 > DD-6 Digital Delay > MT-2 Metal Zone Distortion > Amp and I rarely even use the DD-6, and when I do, it's usually on acoustic 6-string. I also have an Akai Headrush 2, which I just use for playing about at home - so is irrelivant. My main interest these days, from a creative side, is playing with my indi/folk band and I have plenty of oportunity to play some pretty melodic lines and maybe one or two bass solos. So I'm thinking of maybe getting a reverb. I do really like the sound of the EH Holy Grail on bass, and it would be awesome on my acoustic guitar too. I notice they do a nano version. Is this any different to the normal one? Or is is just smaller? I understand the nano pedals use the 9VDC center -ve power supplies too. Sounds like a bonus. Other things that grab my attention would be a chorus pedal (don't know which one), althougth I don't really know how usefull it would be. And an octave generator which would allow me to add octaves to simulate an 8 string bass, or add depth. Micro POG maybe? Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions of pedals that I could use for acoustic bass that would augment my sound in an interesting but tasteful way?

And OK you have piqued my interest: Is it made out of unicorn sh*t or something? I'm trying to understand the price and failing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 unicorn sh*t - not a bad guess!! The only effect i've ever used on acoustic bass was distortion. All sorts of distortion. It sounds amazing with a bit of blend, because the attack you get from an acoustic bass is like a slap in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
