Effects to augment acoustic bass

[karlthebassist]

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?

Did you register here just to provide us with links to your product?

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.

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.
