What are the Best Bass Effects Pedals?
Sir Paul McCartney was one of the pioneers in effects-laden bass playing - when he plugged into a fuzz pedal on The Beatles' song 'Think For Yourself' he inspired a generation of musicians with the revolutionary new sound. Today, fuzz pedals remain a popular choice for rock'n'roll bassists.
For beginners, a Multi-Effects Pedal for Bass can be a great choice, but many players also like to use Bass Compressor Pedals and various different sorts of Bass Overdrive and Distortion.
Guitar Pedals for Bass
Many guitar pedals work equally as well on bass as they do on guitar, and some are designed to be used across a range of instruments - for example, with synthesizers too.
Bassists no longer need to rely solely on guitar fx pedals to shape their instruments' sounds, however, as there is an extensive range of Bass Effects Pedals available to the modern bass player.
