The first pedal I bought, way back in 1987/88. I couldn't decide between the Chorus or Flanger, so opted for the Flanger and wished I'd got the Chorus instead. Still, you can sound like Phil Lynott on Waiting For An Alibi with one of these bad boys.

Current status: not working. A-ha, this is not the case. See here.

Pedal number 2. Primarily bought to try to make me sound more like Sting.

I got this to complete the set of (the then) three Boss Bass pedals. It was a waste really as my amp had an equalizer on it, but it looked good. It was useful for boosting output during one or two songs in the Eklipse era.

After finding out there were two more pedals in the "Brown" series in 2025, I had to hunt them down. I was only able to find the Parametric Equalizer and the Bass Limiter (below) in Japan on eBay so they were quite pricey, especially when hammered for import tax...

The Bass Limiter completed the set of brown pedals. If only they'd made a brown tuner (see later).

This was an impulse purchase after I got back into playing bass. Would it make me sound like Lemmy? Of course not - the only thing to make you sound like Lemmy is a Rickenbacker, a Marshall stack with a specially designed head, and Lemmy. Fools and their money are easily parted.

I recently tried to get a sound out of this which I liked, and failed.

I think this came from my short-lived Slap phase. It was either this or a compressor and this won the day for some reason long forgotten.

In my quest to get rid of hum, this pedal came along. It does its job rather well.

After faffing around with a clip-on tuner, I decided to stop messing around and get one of these. It's great for setting the intonation on a new or modified bass. Well worth every penny, especially considering my comments about the LS-2 below.

I'm using it with Rocksmith and two amps. The Output is connected to the Rocksmith Real Tone cable, and the bypass to the Amp.

I found this on eBay after deciding I needed a compressor. Quite why, seeing as I have the Limiter, I don't know but Paul Gray has a compressor, so it must be worth having.

The LS-2. Bought upon a total misunderstanding. I believed that I could use it to get bass out of Rocksmith, the Little Mark 800 and the JCM 800 simultaneously. Mistake! The pedal allows one of the three outputs to be selected, not all three at once. I should have done some research first and realised that the TU-3 tuner will do this.

The LS-2 does work as an amp-Rocksmith splitter. Put the Real Tone cable in Send B and the amp input cable in Send A. Set the Output Select to A-B Mix Bypass and when you press the pedal you'll get bass to both outputs. The tuner is in my opinion a better option though.

Another eBay find. Bought primarily because a) I hadn't got one, and b) it's what Phil Lynott uses on Dancing In The Moonlight.

I fancied trying the bass solo from Venom's Buried Alive on fretless with this. It's going to come in handy with my new band though.

Bought to replace the non-working CE-2B Chorus pedal. If only I'd known I just needed a different power supply...

I saw a YouTube video on using reverb on bass and thought it sounded pretty good. I'm not sure how often I'll use it however.

I needed an Equalizer pedal for my new band to give a deeper bassier sound for a couple of Blues tracks. This fitted the bill nicely. It was of course bought before I knew about the different power supplies though, so could have used the GE-7B.

Another purchase made so that I didn't have to faff around with power supplies and my old BF-2B

I wanted a delay so I could attempt the intro to Pets by Porno For Pyros and One Of These Days by Pink Floyd. This version of the pedal seemed a no brainer as it has a looper. The looper is perfect for recording a riff and playing it through an amp/preamp to get the sound right.

Dear Boss, why oh why oh why dn't you make one of these beauties? One would then fit in with all my other pedals? This is a seriously useful piece of kit. Turn the knob and you're up or down a semitone in tuning. Just the job for dropping to D Standard instantly.
