And they whilst they look uglier, the mids control
At 500hz and 3-way tilt switch is awesome

I think I need one
$400 US apparently!!

The sooner this solidgoldfx Beta v turns up the better so I can potentially offload some other pedals.

So bass effects people, what are the essential bass effects for playing pop covers?

Getting back into bassing, and last time (12 years ago) all I had was bass -> amp -> tuner.

Reading this thread makes me think Im missing out and a whole fresh load of GAS. What am I missing out on here?

I don't really use many effects for covers; a bit of overdrive, maaaaaybe some chorus. I'm keen on an envelope filter but am saving for a Moogerfooger, because they're the only ones I like. My whammy is really only used on a couple of Tool songs, and as a creative thing for originals.

The secret sauce for bass in a covers band is the 'utility' stuff - preamp, EQ and compression. I'm keen to experiment with the Empress' sidechain function to see if that can bring a bigger live sound.

Not sure anything is essential

Obviously I like some compression. Pub Rawk covers I have a proper overdrive (Free The Tone)

Pop stuff maybe a chorus or flanger and probably a decent envelope filter / wah.

As Hercules stated an extra EQ option is potentially handy. I still use the old Boss Parametric pedal
