5 Essential BASS Guitar Pedals For Rock!

[@SwashBuccaneer]

Love the content of this channel and always a pleasure to see more BASS action. 😀

[@PMTVUK]

Glad you enjoy it! 🤘

[@TrashMarineMusic]

I'm beginning to believe that Dagan is the only one running this channel

[@SwashBuccaneer]

I'm OK with that lol. Everyone else is just Dagan in disguise.

[@jacobleetaylor]

All Dagan all the time 🤘🏻

I am definitely a "always on compressor" type of guy. I play through a Helix usually, and will most of the time have a compressor at the beginning of the chain, and the the LA Studio Comp usually at the end as a "post" compressor (like you would use a rack in a studio setting).

[@andyspark5192]

I have Big Muff and Plasma Pedal. The first minutes playing through Plasma, i had goosebumps. It so overwhelming. Bass combined with high voltage. Pure Fun. You didn't show much crossover on Big Muff. You can make really great sound adjustments with it.

[@hamishsummers8585]

Excellent! Keep the bass content coming

[@PMTVUK]

🤘🤘

[@thomasfioriglio]

Nice job explaining the pedals and demoing how they are used. Thanks!

[@justintolley9912]

Dude we must be birds of a feather - I've been using the MXR Bass Compressor, Big Muff and Boss Chorus for years and they're my "gotta haves" nowadays. I'd love to try the DarkGlass! Great content - keep Rockin 🤘

[@michaelbujanda8785]

I love Dagen's ❤️ and enthusiasm!!!! Its intoxicating!!! Makes me want to play more!!!! 😂😂😂😂😊😊

[@basicoptimalmouse]

Deluxe Big Muff is the best pedal I ever had. That crossover was amazing for breakdowns when I was in a metal band - I hit it, and the low end was insane and got lots of reactions from the crowd that I loved.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

Been using my EHX Bass Balls (same one from the 80s) and a driver. Love the vid. Keep the bass thumping. 🤘

[@hamishsummers8585]

It was hard to handle and you were probably thinking of the black crowds version

[@PMTVUK]

YES! Thank you! haha

[@andrewpappas9311]

I still love pedals on bass, my go-tos have always been my guitar pedals like my Boss OD-1X, CH-1 and BF-3, EHX Big Muff and my Cry Baby wah and it sounds awesome, plus it helps me get closer to some of my favourite bass tones (CH-1: Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division (Peter Hook), BF-3, Forty Six & 2 - Tool (Justin Chancellor), Big Muff & Cry Baby: Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth), For Whom the Bell Tolls, Call of Kthulu - Metallica (Cliff Burton))

[@PMTVUK]

Nice! 🤘

[@BillonBass]

I ditched the Big Muffs for the Walrus Audio EON and Ages 5 followed by an MXR 6 band EQ. Amazing fuzz and distortion. For compression you can’t beat the Cali 76. For chorus I discovered the Eddy by ElectroHarmonix. Great sound with vibrato as well. I also use the C4 synth which sounds great and replaces the need for a separate octave and envelope pedal. Also MXR M152 micro flanger and Phase 90 along with the Hall of Fame 2 reverb into an Ampeg SCR DI. Powered by a Voodoo Lab Mondo. Great sounding board.

[@alexskibicki2262]

Awesome demo, dagen 😎🤘🏻🎸 I personally liked the darkglass b3k and the boss bass chorus. I use distortion and modulation pedals on bass and I got myself some killer tones with it. Another good modulation pedal to use on bass is flanger. Underrated and radical sounding on bass.

i recognized ten seconds to love on that first compressor play through 😉

[@johnterpack3940]

Fuzz on a 5-string is like a warm hug from Cthulhu.

[@modernmusicstudio303]

Great review! Thanks for sharing!

Shoutout for 10 Seconds to Love. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@LunarCascader]

I couldn't understand what was said at around 12:27. It sounded to me like "little Sarah McGraugh" was the name of the "iconic" song played by Joy Division's bass player. I hope it's just me, but KZbin has taught me that once I mishear something, I can't hear it correctly until I look up in the transcript. Which isn't available for me on this video. So it's "Love Will Rip Us Apart." Yeah. I've heard that one.

[@NeoMorphUK]

That sound at 12:51 is like Shakespeare playing bass lol

[@cameronmuegerl7886]

I super appreciate all the info! All the picking hurt my eyes tho 😵

[@Robyjv8]

What model is that Jazz Bass ??? That thing is GORGEOUS 😍

Can you get a sound for Muse Uprising using them 5 pedals?

[@chloepereirademello1496]

Any one tried the boss bass synth pedal? Is it worth it?

[@ObjemBand1]

😀😀😀

[@abbeyna01]

I didn’t hear a difference with the compression pedal

[@lespaulplayer23]

Too hot to handle bass riff

[@markk2403]

no boss obd -3. huh.

[@bryanincommiefornia5629]

That's the only pedal I have. Unfortunately I hadn't used it in a really long time, and now it doesn't want to work. Trying to track down the problem, but haven't figured it out yet.

[@markk2403]

@@bryanincommiefornia5629 wd40 contact clean it . knobs off. 1st.

[@Farewelltokingz]

It sucks really bad. Clean blend isn’t even clean and too much high end and gain for an overdrive.

[@markk2403]

@@bryanincommiefornia5629 add batteries.

[@rockcatinc.4814]

I know I am in the minority, but the big Muff sounds awful.

[@stevengonz]

I’ve had one on my board for years but barely touched it over my other fuzz. But I recently discovered it blends way better in a live mix than my go-to fuzz because of the way it sits with the guitars

[@Farewelltokingz]

It’s because he has the tone knob at max. They sounds way better at lower tone settings.

[@stevengonz]

@@FarewelltokingzI second this, I use mine with tone all the way down and it makes it more midrangey

[@Farewelltokingz]

@@stevengonz I personally use a Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie over this. It’s got less of a mid scoop altogether and a nice clean blend knob and the right thing going on in the top end. Really recommend if you want something a little better.

[@johnzawicki5032]

I've been playing professionally for many decades. And never had any "must" pedals. I've had "they want you to spend money" equipment of all sorts. But other than a bass a amp and cable. Nothing else was "must"

[@Farewelltokingz]

That’s how it is for a lot of people, and obviously I’m sure it still sounded great. The added option of effects though is something that might enhance the tone when in the right context.

[@johnzawicki5032]

@@Farewelltokingz oh I use some FX here and there. But never absolutely needed to have any particular unit. That's just sales talk.

[@zulu5157]

If you've been playing professional bass for decades, then you know in which situations the small, fine devices can make you and your band sound better, especially live.

[@johnzawicki5032]

@@zulu5157 the only "must have" is talant. Everything else is just a gadget. Yeah sometimes you need an effect of some sort. But after doing many studio and live sessions. The general audience doesn't know if you're using a $10 or $10,000 must have. I actually had more ask what I was using when I had my cheap clunker pedal board than when I had my tour rig. So this nonsense of you "must have" this expensive gadget is nothing more than ego food. I'll bet you a million bucks nobody is going to listen to any song because I used an expensive whatever over a cheap one and they are never going to know the difference if you played the same song using cheap "junk". Nobody and I mean nobody listens and says ... Oh did you hear that brand X delay unit ... LMAO They listen to what and how you play. I did blind tests of solid state amps vs tubes. And like 80% of the time the life long tube amp users picked the solid state recording thinking it was the tube amp. So that pretty much sums it up.

[@zulu5157]

​@@johnzawicki5032calm down and come down. The fact that effects don't make you play bass better is a piece of wisdom for children and no one cares what effects you use and when. As a modern bassist, you can't avoid the topic of pedals.

[@hamburgerhelpertastesbad]

I don’t even play bass so why am I here?
