I just thought I’d pick up a new pedal - I have a Boss Chorus pedal, and one of those Zoom boxes, and I want to try something new. I like the multiple effect boxes… bassists out there, what pedals/effects boxes do you have and like?

I had no luck finding a suitable multi-effect pedal. You’ll be better off buying a la carte effects. Personally, I’ve been having fun with the [Rocktron Hypnotic Flange](http://www.amazon.com/Rocktron-Hypnotic-Flange/dp/B0007UQ1GK) lately.

Never was a big fan of effects. I just like to plug in and go.
