Bass Effects Pedals For Sale on Reverb

Bass effects pedals have been used almost as long as their treble counterparts: fuzz, filters, and wahs being early favorites in funk, soul, rock, and pop music. As companies like Boss, Electro Harmonix, and MXR made stompboxes more practical and affordable, bassists began using pedal versions of utility effects, like EQ and limiting.

In the '80s, chorus effects were popular, as heard on songs by The Cure. Into the '90s, metal, punk, and grunge bass guitar players didn’t shy away from distortion or other dirt pedals to match the high-gain sounds of their bandmates. In the early 2000s, some bands and guitarists, like the Death From Above 1979 and Jack White, opted to use octave pedals in place of another stringed instrument.

Today, solo artists may use looper pedals to add bass lines to their sample-driven creations. Recent trends have introduced many new synth pedals to the market, which sound amazing with bass guitar.
