I just curious to see what the fellow bass players are using in their FX chain. Most reviews are written with the guitar player in mind. What's out there that is working for you?

I've been looking at some different ideas:

- Ibanez TS9DX Turbo Tube Sceamer (I've heard is great on a bass)
- Boss DM-2 Delay
- some sort of cool phaser (maybe just the Boss PH-1)
- ProCo Rat

What do you think, got something better.

Don't know about the better part, but I can tell you what I have right now:

Boss TU-2 (standard.. heh)
Morley PDW-II: Has a decent wah sound if you're playing with distortion, but for clean stuff, get a REAL bass wah
Boss ODB-3: Like I've said in previous posts, this thing is a MONSTER! It's got this real nut grinding crunch that's super-effective when you're playing through a stack. I can't wait to use it live!
Digitech XDD Delay: Yes, it IS as good as everyone says it is. Neat little toy.

I'm also planning on buying a Boss CEB-3, which I've play tested before.. it's pretty cool.
