Round 2! 🥊The sequel video '5 MORE pedals you need' is now live! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJqkq7iK287MfXk.html

Fun fact: having a whammy on your pedalboard allows you to have chorus, detune, octaver, and pitch shifter. All in one single pedal!

I think you stole my 3 rd grade school picture day shirt 🤔

TECHNICALLY you are right this is a very responsible and conservative approach. However, I would love to see a follow up video with an irresponsible mess of fun pedals.

So much polish on these videos. Really love what you're doing, hope your audience builds soon because you are clearly putting a lot into these

Octave pedal, in my opinion, very essential. The “power” you can get with it is just mmmmmm! 💪🏻 Great video! 👌🏻

Holy shit that Chorus + Distortion took me back to every goth/shoegaze gig I've worked in my life. Crazy sound!

hands down man! I love the way u explained everything. I play in a rock band too and those are the most essential pedals that every bassists needs! U earned yourself a new subscriber here!!

Your editing/explanation is next level entertaining. Glad I clicked. Keep em coming.

You’re climbing the subs quickly boss! Wonderful content

I’ve recently started noodling around with my bass stuff again after a long time away from all of it. I’m really enjoying your videos Jonny!

This guy looks like Wolverine and Steve from Blues Clues fused together and created this guys 😂 But this video pretty much was perfect for just a generic bass board!

My chorus stays on pretty much all the time, it adds a lot of depth and texture to the bass, which in the overall band mix thickens up the whole rhythm section. My favorite is the Boss Chorus Ensemble, because the treble and bass frequencies have separate blend knobs. I like to dial the bass all the way out and crank the treble side, so that my low end stays clean and the pedal just adds a ton of high end shimmer

Love the video, love your style! keep it up!

Honestly super helpful, been playing bass for years but only looking into pedals now. Thanks man!

Cool breakdown of the pedals man, thanks 👊🏽😎

Always digging these videos! 🧡🧡

Thanks Jonny for making this video. I had no idea what a compressor or a preamp were 😅 and I've been looking for a video that explains it well. This is it.

Great video Johnny! 👍🏼 My pedalboard: tuner (Boss TU3), compressor (Origin effect Cali76 Compact Bass), chorus (MXR Bass Chorus deluxe) and Pre-Amp (Aguilar Tone Hammer) This pedalboard gives me All the sounds I need 😎

Nice list. The signal chain I'm using right now is SansAmp for tone shaping and DI -> Darkglass B3k for distortion -> EQD Hoof Reaper for fuzz -> Boss SY1 for synth emulation -> Zoom CDR70 for modulation and miscellaneous fx -> Boss DD200, which I can fade in via expression pedal. With this relatively simple setup, I can make almost any sound my band could ever need

Great stuff as always bro🤘🏼

Great video Jonny! I Love my boss tuner and sansamp 😎

This is definitely the best video about effects I have watched. I watched a bunch of other ones and wasn’t satisfied. I’m subbing to you right now! A compressor pedal for slapping now makes total sense!

Great great video, helps a lot, cheers mate

So thanks for this content.

As someone who just started playing bass and wondering what effects to look for this was a very helpful video thank you!

Very informative. Will take into consideration. Thank you.

Great video as always Jonny. I had a pitch black some years ago but it died. Since then I've used a Mooer Baby Tuner which I rate very highly. It picks up the signal really quickly (which I find a lot of tuners don't do for bass) plus it's small so doesn't take much space

I'm the exact type of person you describe in the beginning of the video who plugs directly into the amp :D Honestly, I've thought about experimenting with some pedals, so this video is super useful :) Also, great editing!

I am really enjoying your videos sir, keep up the great work you are doing. I have three of your pedal choices covered with just one pedal on my board, it is a Tech21 DP3 Doug Pinnick pedal. It has a tuner, a clean mode and a high passed distortion mode footswitch selectable, and a compressor. It also has a DI, but I don't use it since the pedal is in the middle of my signal chain. My DI is a Radial JDI Direct box at the end of the chain. I also suggest a classic analog Phase Shifter like the MXR Custom Script Logo Phase 90. Another unit to look into is a High pass filter/Low pass filter combined in a single pedal. I use a Broughton HPF/LPF with a 0-20db clean boost. Helps with FOH Engineers that boost the snot out of the low end, and make the Bass a blur under the kick drum. And is great for speaker simulation as well. I don't really require an amplifier much any more now that I'm a wireless IEM user. For fun I have two cardboard boxes on stage that have Base Amp on one, and Base Speekr on the other written with a Magnum chisel tip Black Sharpie, with that exact spelling. You covered several of my other favorites in your second pedal video.

Great video thanks for the suggestions ❤

Glad I discovered your channel Jonny. Keep it coming! Love from Switzerland

I rarely take the time to comment but your video put a smile on my face! It’s like a storytime...but....about bass pedals.

I've tried the ebs the vt sans. Now i use the big mesa 800 plus preamp di. I love it. Always on. Me 50 b and zoom b3n here and there. Nice vid. Thank you.

I'm not a bass player but I Love your videos man!! fxxxxxg hilarious 😂 Had a lotta useful well presented info too, good job man.

Woah Man, best channel: you have a nice kind of comunication. Thank you.

Hi I'm new here and I really enjoyed the video. Keep going man!

Great stuff, buddy!

Nice list! Up to number 4, your list lines up with mine (including Sansamp and Pitchblack tuner choice)! Personally, I prefer a light flanger (TC Vortex) over chorus. Also, I love the phaser (TC Helix), would be mine number 6...

Presentation and editing skills are on point. I was thoroughly engaged and entertained until the end. Kudos!

I just set up my first full pedalboard. I start my signal with a tuner, then went with overdrive and chorus. I needed delay for some songs that I've been needing to work on. I'm looking to add a compressor, although I do have compression available on my amp. I actually have a fuzz pedal that I already had, in addition to the overdrive, and the two (overdrive and fuzz) both do as you suggested - add to what the guitar is doing, in key parts. The chorus is also good in specific parts (my band actually does a lot of Nirvana). So... you were right on the spot. I'll also be looking at octave pedals eventually.

I use an EQ instead of a preamp, no DI out but every single gig I've played has the bass going through the venue's DI. My chain goes tuner > comp > EQ > octave > dist > fuzz > guitar amp sim (I play both bass and guitar on my band) > chorus > reverb

"The earth is round" you got my like right now! But in my opinion, i would go with tunner, compressor, IQ, boss oc3 (I use a lot more octaver than distortion but still the padel has the distortion option) and ofc chorus to make some kind of "synth". Keep up with the good work, really like the new energy of the videos and "jokes". 🖖

Marvelous video, thx. Is a good EQ pedal same as a preamp?

1k congratulations

I started playing bass at the start of the pandemic and have found many of your videos so helpful! I have become confident enough with my playing that I am looking to start building my pedal board and this video was a very good introduction to what i should look at. Thanks!

That first riff with the compressor 👌, You know I think you might have been the person that got me to get one after watch your videos. I think you are an official "influencer" 😀

I remember watching this video years ago. I came back to it because its very very relevant now. I currently plug straight into a bass amp at a church and i felt off for a while - especially sustain and tone consistency. Thank you. Btw, i freaking love how you make your videos. The editing, humor, your personality, the structure, how the hell do you not have 1m subs yet?? Great job either way

The preamp. “Adds more diversity” well said! It is the cleanest sound I’ve ever encountered when recording.

great video!

Love the content Mr. Dibble, but for me personally ( I am writing this before going thru the vid) 1. Tuner 2. Compressor 3. Envelope filter (I'm a big P-funk/Thundercat fan) 4. Octaver 5. Distortion/Fuzz

cool. you just listed my pedalboard man. great video! I do also have some delay for trippy stuff.

Oh wow, loved the video, nice to meet you :)

Amazing video! Loved how you explained each pedal as suppose to just saying "get this because its good."

I only use a boss gt1-B effects processor and it's all i really need. I use only a fraction of the effects for bands but it's also a ,ot of fun to mess about with at home there is so much that you can do with it it's amazing. I have one for guitar as well and I ordered a boss RC-500 looper and now I'm set i don't need anything else.

Hey Jonny. Another good video. Our first picks were the same again. The tuna, I mean the tuner. I use a Pedersen strobe. Very versatile and very accurate. The extra pedals that I use are phaser, envelope filter, multi effects and now... The Justin Chancellor wah. Man does that have a lot of "giddy up". These are probably for the "more advanced" player. But don't be afraid to go try some stuff. Have a great day and cheerio.

Absolutely amazing edits

Thanks for your tips and info 🤟

That’s crazy! I must be doing something right! The exact same effects I use! Cool!

With an preamp you can input into the effects return on your amp to bypass the onboard preamp. When recording with a preamp, try using a cab simulator (impulse response) instead of an amp simulation

Great video, thanks for taking the time to make it. You Fact/Opinion bit should be required watching for everyone :) I have just received my Orange Bass Butler, so I think my pedalboard is about to change quite a bit the coming weeks. But I usually mix and match my pedalboard for what I want that day. Tuner->compressor->fuzz/overdrive->delay->pre amp/di

Well itshard to argue with the first 3 pedal choices my pre amp has overdrive so I stay with just the first 3 great video though really helpfull

I’ve always loved chorus on bass, it’s such a cool sound and definitely gives you that classic Peter Hook/Duff McKagan/Peter Steele/Tony Levin (mixed with an octave pedal) tone and it’s awesome. I use it a lot on my guitar but will also throw it onto my bass when I want to add a bit of colour to my sound

Love your bass. I just-bought a Sterling Stingray SS-4 and I am so Impressed with the: fit, finish, sound & playability. (only Downside is: it's Impossible to find a proper Case?) I do-agree 100% with tuner & compressor. I'd look at an Octave or the Source Audio C-4. oNe LovE from NYC

You sold me on the chorus! Awesome editing skills btw. Very entertaining.

I can do without a chorus, it's just to "washy" for me and seems to defeat other effects that I use. Octaver in the chain is more useful for me. Great video again!

You are really close to 1000 subs!!!

Nice vid. Good info. (my opinion) Having a HPF (High Pass Filter) early in the signal cleans things up a bit. But if you're using a lot of distortion, probably not need for that.

Exactly.... Totally agree with you and this is my pedal My pedal is boss tu 3 because it has so many mode and easy setting....and agree..we can use it as silencer compressor is mxr m87 absolute.....i need that because sometime i need to boost and sometime i need to tamed my single coil..... And then ampeg scr di....because i love ampeg tone and sometime i need that when i jamming.....it really help me connect directly to mixer.....and it also include drive pedal.....some person hate that...but for me...well....that will do.... And also chorus pedal...because sometime we play without drummer....only vocal...guitar and me....so i need to make "soft floor" for guitar sounds to land on it....

Ahhhh I win! I only own 5 pedals, and this is exactly what I run. Love my sound and I think I can cover pretty much any style with it! Though an octive pedal might be the next purchase. Good vid.

This is a very useful video and ugh the editing is sooooo good

Pretty much agreed with everything on this list, e x c e p t for chorus. But it's cool to play around with. Also gonna call this now, you're going to hit 1k by the end of November

Tried a few pedals iny time and now just use a tuner and a chorus,works for me.

Finally got a dream of a P Bass and was able to rip on it yesterday. I've had 3 Boss pedals ready and waiting for it. GEB-7 Bass EQ, ODB-3 Bass Overdrive, and CEB-3 Bass Chorus, and I also plugged in an Earthquaker Devices Hizumitas fuzz. Already having a blast!

As a funk player, my go too pedals are for making my bass sound more like a key bass (Mike league method) octave, envelope, and compression my favorites

I still have mt Roland 60 watt bass amp with onboard chorus. I played live in the early 90s and always had the chorus button on. 60 watts wasn't loud enough for stage volume so I had to crank it until it started to break up and sound distorted. I hated that at the time, I wanted a clean chorus sound. You just made me feel better thinking now that the sound wasn't that bad after all. I forgot where I bought the amp back in the day. Glad I never sold it. It's in my bedroom till this day and perfect for practice and recording. Love that classic Roland chorus! Cheers 🍻 mate.

Good pedal video.

I love compressor on bass, it sounds much more even 😍

nice videos you make, i was thinking of 1st octave pedal 2nd eq pedal 3rd some sort of dirt 4th a blend like the ls-2 (if your dirt pedal has none) and 5th a volume pedal that is actually my board. and i use a clip tuner

Cool video, jonny. I own a distortion and a chorus and they have been my main effects for a long time. I also own a flanger pedal and I find that to be a pretty unique effects to use on bass.

Digitech RP90 for the win. Awesome pedal highly recommend checking this one out!! True all in one pedal!

My Boss CEB-3 Chorus is an essenitial part of my board! As well as is my Korg Pitchblack and my EHX Bass Big Muff Pi . . . . Can find myself pretty good in your 'Opinion' :) Nice video again Jonny!

"Man this was a great video!" I thought to myself after watching, "Surely this guy has to have thousands or millions of subscribers right?" Man, the editing in this video is top-notch, the way the topics were presented was beautiful, even the intro and outro were spot on. Keep it up brother, I'm off to go watch some more of your videos now. :)

Good video and just subscribed- My current set up is a Pedaltrain Nano with a Boss TU3 , Keeley Bassist Compressor, EH Nano Big Muff and a Darkglass B7K- this covers everything I need at the moment -

Compressor is great for slap and finger style. I mostly play pick style and use that co control dynamics. As far as mic'ing cabs, definitely a fan of that over DI, it's just tricky finding a sound engineer that's not afraid to do it. With distortion, I hate blend knobs, and "bass" drive pedals aren't necessary for my playing.

Glad Nirvana was used as the quintessential standard for chorus usage. I will now invest in one. Thank you bass sensei.

8:34 I thought the Distortion was already on ':I xP awesome playing, man ! You look a bit like Flea, with that round head and colored MusicMan ^^ keep op teh good stuff mate !

Thank you. Needed this.

Good list. I’d add octave and fuzz to that list as my essentials, and probably take off chorus as an essential, although I do like it.

Love this vid!

Just got a Caline Wine Cellar DI/ Driver and it sounds awesome! $40 and is a tone monster

This was great!! I love the Sans Amp too! I prefer an overdrive to a distortion. But that's just me LOL

I love chorus with bass. My all time favorite to use is the Walrus Audio Julia v2 pedal (the Julianna is the same but it has a vibrato circuit too) it works great with bass. I also love their Slö reverb pedal. It's a little quirky in a great way, and combines with the Julia excellently. For "non-essential" pedals, Red Panda Bitmapv2 with an MXR Vintage octave in front of every other pedal (except your wah/volume) is amazing if you want to emulate synth bass sounds.

Best board I've built so far is Tuner - Sans Amp Preamp - Octave - Chorus with Flanger - Compressor - Ampeg Preamp. In that order. Love the Sans Amp tone shaping and the way it drives my other pedals. But I was missing the Ampeg punch on top so added that to the end of the chain. Works great!

Great overview, thanks! When discussing the compressor function, you used high and low when you should have said loud and soft, or high and low -volume-. High and low by themselves always imply frequency to me.

Fantastic video!! Just out of curiosity which bass chorus pedal would you be recommending?? I'm using a Ampeg Liquifier at the moment & I want to get a new one.

Excellent video again, sir. I'm going to have to 100% agree with you on the Sansamp. I've got an original version that I've had since around 1998 or so. The rest of my pedals are Electro-Harmonix. They're USA made and amazing quality. Their Bass Soul Food ran into a Bass Big Muff makes this amazing, mean tone that nothing else can match.

It's a potential mine field talking about effects for bass. I don't blame you for any disclaimers. Really like you opening my mind up to the reason for pre-amps as not only am I ye of the southern paw, I love p-bass and sometimes I can't achieve a decent enough tone so the pre-amp would most likely be the answer. I'll try and get a used SansAmp or similar.

Great video. Thanks!

Will you please do a video/explanation on how you set these up on your pedal board? Do you use the Sansamp last b/c of the DI out? If so, what order would you set these up? Do you put your compressor at the beginning or just before the Sansamp?
