These cheap BASS EFFECTS are actually AWESOME! 

I like your version of "budget". So much more realistic for a lot of us compared to a lot of youtubers.

Good thing compression is one of those "always-on" bass effects.

As a bass player on a budget, these are the types of reviews I look for,something I can afford and they work good as well. 👍

Great video! But i, as a bassist who uses chorus almost all of the time, have to say the chorus setting you're using in this video seems much more like an intense Chorus (tbh more like a slap-back) setting a Guitarist might use and in contrast sounds (arguably) bad on Bass. The key to using Chorus on bass is to dial it into an extremely subtle tone. Little bit goes a long way and it will really richen up an already great bass-tone.

I can't believe how fast your channel's growing! Good for you man!

That was awesome! It's not cheap being a musician in general, but I'm glad people like you exist to find great deals and to share your knowledge! Keep up the great videos!

Hey Dan, I discovered your channel only a few months ago and I can't stop binge watching your videos! I appreciate your approach to your instructionals and reviews. They are informative without dragging on unnecessarily or being insulting to newbies! Great job!!! Thanks for producing this channel.👍

As a beginning bassist, I appreciate the info that you provide. Much more informative than a lot of the dedicated bass channels. Thank you!

The eq explanation helped me so much!

I’m a bass player and this was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks 🙏

These do sound great. Thanks for taking the time to find good ones, I love watching the budget videos. And of course, your honest opinion on the products is always appreciated. keep the great content coming, Dan

I'm always on the look out for new effect pedals with good quality and budget prices. Thanks again Dan!

I'm not a bass player, but I know chorus was used on bass a lot in the 80's, particularly in New Wave and Goth bands; I'm thinking the Cure, SatB, Joy Division/New Order, etc.

I love the explanation of the EQ settings! After watching this I started using an EQ on my Zoom Multistomp, with your recommended settings, and I feel like I finally found the tone I was looking for!

Why am I watching this? I don't play bass. I guess that's what happens when you have a great chanel to watch.

Great video, thanks. I’m definitely getting that EQ pedal

Cool! I don't do effects but I just bought a couple basses in my quest to totally suck on multiple instruments, so it's an interesting video to me.

That prototype bass is killer

Been doing some pedal shopping recently and I’ve been watching a lot of videos like this. This is the best one I’ve seen so far. Thanks & you’ve earned another subscriber.

Really great, that you make this kind of videos. Especially for people who are just starting to learn guitar these videos about affordable/cheap great gear are awesome! Keep it up!

Almost 100k man! You deserve it, you have been a big influence in my guitar playing and how I look at guitars- I’ve been subbed for awhile, and I’m proud to see you get this far!

I was thinking the pedal board was upright sitting against your desk and when you went to switch them around 0:17 I thought you did like some weird fairy kick and was like, What Are You Doing?! haha :D

0:16 lol, it looks as if he is lifting his foot and hitting the switch on the pedal .

Very helpful with that eq part, thank you, man!

I’ve been watching a ridiculous amount of bass pedal demo videos and this is one of the better ones.

Just bought 3 out of 4 of these for my board. Thank you for the demo. Super helpful!

I’ve been waiting so long for this video!

Eyyy I’ve been waiting for this video, this is great 👌🏻

Yay!! This video was definitely worth the wait!! Luv it

I love the EQ review with explanation of different frequencies. Maybe you could make a video on dialing in the bass EQ and share your experiences? I used to spend hours playing with EQ and trying to dial in a tone that sits well in the band and developed fixation with low mids which seemed to work miracles for me until I changed to a completely different sounding bass and whole thing started again. I'd love to hear some thoughts on this topic and I bet it would be useful to a lot of bass players. Btw. Choruses on bass are great. Being a fretless player I used it all the time as a part of my basic tone and to my surprise nobody in a band complained and they liked it. It seems to me that it enhances some harmonic content that makes the bass fuller and richer, but a good pedal should keep the fundamental intact, so the seemingly out of tune sound you're talking about doesn't happen. They do a lot of these dry-low/modulated-highs controls on bass choruses because of that, but there aren't many bass choruses in budget range. It just happens that Ensemble Queen sounds really bad to me. Not what I am looking for in a bass chorus. You can easily grab used Digitech Bass Multi Chorus (I don't think they make them anymore) for dirt cheap and they are really good, despite some people hating it just because it is digital (so is Ensemble Queen AFAIK). Right now I am waiting for my EHX Bass Clone which I wouldn't consider "budget" but isn't expensive either, with really high expectations. Hyped as hell, 'cause it sounds really good on most demos and people seem to generally like it. Cool video, cheers!

Great review. Never thought about using effects on the bass... sounded great.

Great review thank you. Very informative. I particularly like the Eq/Compressor combo. I think it’s an essential quality for that smooth consistent sound/tone like a high-end studio recording. Really nice.

Awesome demo! Thanks for posting!

Dude I've been waiting for this. Really looking to build my bass setup. You confirmed my thoughts that eq and compression are my first buys. But that overdrive/sansamp sound was unexpected. Thanks again!

Thank you Dan! You nailed it with the EQ pedal. It seems to be exactly what I’m looking for.

I thought your pedalboard was mounted in front of your laptop and you were donkey kicking the switches. Kinda sad to figure out it was a second camera.

WOW! I love your bass!! Thanks for the suggestion and review. It's very useful.

I am really buying this EQ and Od!! Awesome review.

100K!!! Congrats Dan! You deserve it so much (:

Awesome vid as always! Gives me some ideas for my own bass pedalboard! Thanks again, and congrats on your 100k! =)

I’m so glad I found this channel. Well done

I recently joined a band that actually pushes me to better myself. That being said I wanted something to get my notes all to the same level, and have never even tried a pedal for bass before and that brought me to this channel. Thank you so much for the very detailed video, helps me out more than you know.

That Bass EQ had some awesome sounds. Nice job!

This video was super helpful, thank you!!

GreAt vid, man! Actually, much more useful to understand how bass fx and eq’s really work and how to get the best out of them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I love all of your bass videos!!!

Good overview of the EQ. Thanks. Agreed 100% on the overdrive too.

Congrats on 100k mate... You deserve it!

Woohoo! Never liked a video so fast! I would really love to have that bass pedal board for your gift away Dan. Your channel is one of two that I use the notification bell for. Thanks again!

Thanks for the recommendation, Dan! Didn't want to spend that much to get those groovy tones. This is totally awesome!

The secret of bass overdrive is to have a good, clanky clean sound and drive it just a little bit, relying on the clean to give deepness and clarity to the tone. You need a pedal that has a blend option and blend just enough of that distorted sound.

Another great video !! Thanks keep up the hard work

It’s cool how your explanation of the bass EQ is the same as I have discovered when tuning car audio bass.

I really love your guitar content. Thanks for making it

Good job....Thank you. Keep on your great work 👍👍👍

Been waiting for bass effects, only have pedals for my geetars, thank you!

I'm building a bass pedal board for my daughter and I threw the kokko overdrive before the preamp and I got a killer tone. Totally by surprise!

That's crazy how good that overdrive sounds with a little bass added back in with the EQ pedal

Great demo man I’m definitely considering getting that compression pedal I never new that it made such a difference

I have been a subscriber to this channel for couple years now. I love your demos, reviews and sharing all things musical. I play bass. This is a great review of some great budget pedal options that are actually useable. Love your giveaways hope these go to a good home and find lots of use.

FWIW, the Chorus depth is set at max (dimed) for the demo, which is what you want for demoing the capabilities of the pedal, but not where you'd want to set it for playing (unless you're Journey, lol). I little hint of chorus can go a long way, I mean, listen to Duff's tone on Appetite....

Great vid, but an especially good explanation on use of the EQ pedal. Thanks!! Sparks

Great clip! I have two great chorus pedals on my board. They get used sparingly, about 1 out of 10 songs. But, that lush sound they produce is something everyone hears, and the band loves it too. I’d choose a chorus over drive or fuzz any day.

I see you got better on bass aswell :D Cant wait for full video on this bass!

Love the vids dude!!

Yay! Thanks Bro for the review!

Take a guitar pedal, add "bass", increase price 30% 😢

The od and eq sounds great together. I’ve been playing bass for years without any pedals. Might be time to add a few to my rig. Thanks for the tip.

I was going to look for my first bass pedal and this video was super helpful! Thanks Dan! that compression pedal seems like it works well for the price

I’m not really a bassist but this video opened my eyes to bass having more than one sound

I really liked that brief run down of the EQ and the different frequencies. Could you do a more in depth one? Maybe with something like the MXR 10band EQ? Cheers

I bought the exact same EQ and Overdrive pedal, went to a rehearsal with my band, almost used the same adjustments and it does sound like a Samsamp. It has very good dirt without losing low end while using the EQ, very bright and metallic. If you don't want/like that brightness, just adjust your tone on the bass or pedal and you're good.

awesome setup!

Alright just what Ive been waiting for!

I'm not a bassist but,they sound good to me ,nice demo , great prices too ! Thanks ! :-)

Great video as usual dude! I recently did a video testing the Kokko FOD3 Overdrive with bass, and to me it gave a similar sound to when you run a bass through a guitar amp. Good tip to use the EQ pedal with it

Awesome Dan, thank you.

Always good to know there are cheap options for those starting out their pedal journey! I think I may get the EQ just to try it out. Thanks!

Great video !! Thanks !!

Sick playing!

You nailed the kind of bass distortion I love!

I’m not a bassists either. Been playing guitars and keys for 35 yrs. I have been puttering with home recording and your info on where to set the bass frequencies was great useful information we all can use. Thanks for another great vid.

Thanks for sharing. You're an awesome player too with great tone.

Great info !

Cool affordable stuff! thanks !

Man that od/eq combination sounds killer!!!

Great information!!!!!

Great info! I'm curious - what is the two-tone bass with the cut outs behind your right shoulder? I'd love to get a better look at it.

That EQ-Overdrive combo sounds great!

HAPPY 99K, ALMOST THERE!!!

epic video man very informative and entertaining

Congratulations Dan! A 100K subscribers!!! A milestone, up to the next!!! 😍😘😀

Friggin awesome love it!!! Buying em all!!

i loved how he just played the Around The World intro and also thanks for this video ive really been searching for a few affordable pedals :)

Very much want that pedal board. Those all sounded great.

I do play bass and really like this demo. I'm always love hearing these cheap demos by an actual bass player. Frequently you seem gear demoed by guitarist that don't really understand the role of a bass in the band or that play licks that'd never be useful. I'd love to see a video of making that Sansamp knockoff.

Great explanation, thx

Good review. I like the EQ frequency details. How do you like the the TC electronic - Dark Matter vs the Koko shown, for bass players?

Thank you!! God bless you sir! All the pedals do sound surprisingly good

Great video really enjoyed this one. Just wondering what your thoughts are on Multi-Effects pedals? I just bought an old "Zoom B1ON" and it's pretty cool, even has a Looper, tuner, and a basic drum machine built-in
